You might remember me mentioning an amazing group of ladies I had the pleasure of visiting back in September 2011 when they read Sweet Tea and Secrets as their book of the month. They have a tradition of creating a scrapbook page for each book they read. The scrapbook is amazing. I could have snuggled down and just read that for a whole afternoon! They gave me permission to share some of the pages with you here. So...enjoy!
Are you inspired to give it a try? I hope so. You could even take your 12 fav books and create a calendar for the following year as a book club girl holiday gift.
I'm headed back to Suffolk at the end of February for book club night. It's such an honor that they picked my second Adams Grove Novel ~ Out of Focus as their February book. Can't wait to see what they say and create for this story!
I think scrapbooking is a great way to memorialize all the books your club reads. Sandy is the "keeper of the album" for the Book Club Babes and she creates ALL the pages. She's amazing. You might decide to rotate that responsibility or even create the page as part of the gathering :)
Happy Book Clubbing :)

I like the idea of the calendar. Please share after your book club night. Congratulations on two great books!
ReplyDeleteHello Nancy,
ReplyDeleteMy name is Nikki. I am the youngest member of a group of women, ages 35-63, in Suffolk, VA and we go by the name DAAU (Displaying All Aspects of Us) Book Club. There are 13 members of our book club and we are interested in meeting with other book clubs in Southern Virginia. I saw your blog and I was hoping that you could help me.
I see that you met with the Suffolk Book Club Babes last year and you have shared many great ideas you learned in meeting with this fabulous group of women. I would really appreciate it if you could put me in contact with someone within that book club or any other clubs in the Suffolk area that you are aware of. Our club's electronic mail address is daaubookclub@yahoo.com or you can reach me, Nikki, at missqnr@hotmail.com.
We would like to plan a social gathering for later in the year that involves several different book club members. We are so excited about this plan and I hope to be able to find as many as four or five different groups by our next planning meeting 04 MAR.
I look forward to hearing from you. We are also planning a Book Signing/Book Fair for later this year so I will definitely be in touch with more details and perhaps you can share your availability to attend that event.
Thank you in advance.
