Book Club has Started!

Awhile back I wrote about my genius idea for starting a book club.  Well, I'm happy to report that our 3rd event is happening this Saturday.  Our group is great!  We currently have 6 members, but we're open for others to join  - we just don't want to get too big.

I hosted our first meeting back in September with the book Paris in Love by Eloisa James.

Loved reading this book while home with a hurt back last year.  I found it using my Nook, which is connected to the Tulsa City County Library's ebook collection - great way to read books when you're stranded at home, not feeling well.  Anyway, I decided it would be perfect for our first get-together.  Of course I went with a Paris theme.  I had music playing in the background and served French treats.  A platter displayed all kinds of cheeses, with fruit, spreads, and crackers.  I had croissants and baguettes, along with fun hors d'oeuvres.  I made a fall inspired sangria and served French (thick & rich!) hot chocolate.  Karen brought some yummy chocolate eclairs.  We talked about the book and made bookmarks using Paris/travel stamps.  We also talked about having book club every other month.  Karen said she would host the next one, and we decided on The Girl on the Train.
