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!

Same Kind of Different As Me

This true story by co-protaganists Ron Hall and Denver Moore is a story of friendship. The unlikely pair, a modern-day slave and an international art deal find a bond that neither would have ever expected. You'll find as I did that "everybody's different--- the same kind of different as me. we're all just regular folks walkin' down the road God done set in front of us." It doesn't matter if we are rich or poor or maybe something in between. This world is not our final resting place. In a way, we are all homeless--- just workin our way toward home. What a wonderful way of looking at life! A GREAT TRUE STORY!
