Kindle Reader Cover Fun

What a fun idea. Did you see the DIY Kindle cover on the BookTrib site?  Check it out and this one too! http://booksprung.com/want-to-make-your-own-ereader-cover-here-are-50-ideas-to-get-you-started

I'll admit I sprung for a leather OBERON DESIGN cover when I first got my Kindle. I went for the one with the tree on it. It's so pretty. BUT, if you aren't up to something quite that snazzy (okay I can be a bit of a spoiled reader, I admit it!) then this DIY is absolutely adorable and fun to do.

What?? Wait! You don't know about BookTrib? Oh honey, you are missing out. It's like a breath of fresh, happy air. Bright, colorful and full of the latest book news. http://www.booktrib.com/ Visit today and join for free.

Hugs~
Oh...and if you take this little DIY project to heart...I'd love for you to send me pics of your design. :)

Be Mine, Book Club Valentine

Hi book club friends,
My first publication is out! FOREVER IN MY HEART, is one of twelve short stories in the Valentine's Day anthology, BE MINE, VALENTINE. I've got a couple Valentine's Day events planned and this is becoming a favorite holiday all over again. As fun as when I was in the second grade and nervous to give out my very first valentine's day cards, and as sweet as the time I got not only a dozen roses for me--but a dozen rawhides for my dog for Valentine's Day. What are your fondest memories?

Back to business...Book club planning.
Fun for this month's book club gathering doesn't require much planning.
What you'll need:
  • Conversation Hearts
  • Box of kids Valentine's Day trading cards
Open the box of Valentine's Day cards and spread them out on the table.
Have each book club member pick out a card that they will address to their favorite character of one of the novels they've read. Then couple that with the appropriate Conversation Heart to match. Be ready to share why!?!?!

You might just be surprised at how many extra details we add to the romantic hunks in the books we read that are never on the written page. Funny how many of the guys in the books I read look like Kevin Costner.

I'd love to hear from you with ideas or comments.
Have fun!
