When my girls were born, one right after the other, I discovered a love for books I hadn't had before. I spent a great deal of money on picture books and read them over and over to my 3 girls. My girls have grown quite a bit (as I'm told they often do), but I am proud to say that they each have a love of great stories. As for parties, I've always loved a good party. I love planning and decorating around a theme, and of course, the actual party is always the best!
In 2008, I combined my love of books with my love of parties. The idea was simple... our family would choose and read a great book. I would invite others to read the same book. I would collect $5 from each participant, plan games, contests, decorations, food and prizes all focused on the theme of the book! The money given by each participant would allow an ample budget for loads of book club party fun! The parties have been wildly successful. As a homeschool mom, I'm proud to say that we learn a little something, too!
Read more here about me, my family and my Book Club Parties. Discuss with me upcoming books and parties, make book suggestions, discuss other books I've read or books you're reading. Also, hopefully (sometime soon) get complete BOOK CLUB PARTY INSTRUCTIONS for all the book club parties I've thrown since 2008!

TRUE BLOOD on hold...
I've had to put True Blood by C. Harris on the bookshelf until I finish Mockingjay. Of course, I have to hurry so I can find out what happens to Sookie Stackhouse, the mind-reading waitress who has fallen in love with a vampire. SHOCKING! The story takes place in Bon Temps, Louisiana. Vampires (who basically have a virus) are fighting for equal rights amoung humans. Sounds reasonable, right? Of course, there are good vampires and bad...very bad ones. Sookie doesn't know if she should trust Vampire Bill because innocent girls in her small town are being found murdered!!! Of course, I know what happens (because I saw season I of the series on HBO) but I find the books are much better! I will everyone know when I get back to Sookie and Bill's story!
