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 Glass Castle... Finally!

After delaying this book club party for practically the entire summer, we came together as a group of "bag ladies" and feasted as we discussed this Memoir of Jeannette Walls.  It is hard to believe that she and her siblings lived through the poverty and neglect they endured.  This book was EXCELLENT.  Best of all, there is a movie coming in 2015!
