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!

Dead to the World
I guess this is my favorite of the first 4 Sookie Stackhouse books. This is the book #4 and in this volume, Sookie finds herself taking care of Eric, the Vampire Sheriff of District 5, who has amnesia. He's a much more agreeable vamp when he's under the curse of a witch named Hallow!!! Vampire Bill is absent much of the book (which is fine with me) b/c he's in Peru doing something for the Queen of Louisiana. Sookie's brother, Jason, is also mysteriously missing. This book is packed with action. Were-wolfs, vampires and even one shape-shifter along side Sookie fight a coven of were-witches who drink vampire blood!!! So, they are super-duper mean and powerful witches! Bubba, the vampire, is also in this book, again. He is one of my favorite characters! You'd just have to read the books to know why!
