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!

The 9th Sookie Bookie... "Dead & Gone"

The 9th book in the Southern Vampire fantasy / mystery series wasn't exactly what I expected, but it was great. A couple highlights include: Sookie is finally Viking Sheriff Eric's girlfriend and wife (that's a long story) and the FBI is questioning Sookie because they believe her powers could be of use to them! Sookie finds herself in this book right in the middle of a Fairie War. Her great-grandfather in trying to get to know her and help her has put her into a great deal of danger. This makes the 9th Sookie Bookie a little more dark and forboding than the others. I think it was good for Mrs. Harris to shake things up a bit though. I think book #10 (which I refuse to pay $25.99 for in hardcover so I'm listening to the cd's from the library) will find Sookie having a hard time dealing with all that happened to her as a result of being in a war with supernatural beings. We'll see, and I'll let you all know!
