Something a little lighter - for a change of pace

Hi Folks
It's August and that means the summer is coming to an end, parents are getting their kids ready for school, and the rest of us are praying for a little relief in the weather.

With busy schedules, and balancing everything we wanted to get done over the summer, why not switch things up in your next BOOK CLUB meeting?

Find an eBook that you can download for $5 or less (Amazon has some shorts for just 49cents!!) and bring a little inspiration and motivation to the table.

Here's what I found to share. At just over 100 pages it's a very slim volume to have handy, or you can download it for just $5. It's a collection of short stories, blurbs and poetry inspired by the Bible. The one that caught my attention right out of the gate was the one on WORKING TOO MUCH. Do you resemble that remark, too?

So, share a little wisdom, and inspiration with your friends and make it an affordable meeting that will be lite and no-stress. I recommend having a couple dozen assorted Doughnuts for this meeting. (My favorite are good old Krispy Kreme glaze if you pop 'em in the microwave for just a few seconds. YUM)

Have fun!

Book Club Summer Swap

Looking for a little something new to stir things up at your next book club meeting? I've got a fun idea.

Aside from the book of the month that you've all read and loved or hated --- bring a favorite summer read from your dusty bookshelf. Throw them all in a pile and either blindly take turns drawing or do a swap with them. That game where you pick a gift, and someone can steal your book or pick a new one is always a fun way to swap. If they steal yours your stuck with theirs.

Fun-fun-fun and a great way to add a new author to your list. Some of my favorite authors have come out of happy accidents just like this.

Swappin' Summer Fun!

July Book Club Planner Fun

It's July, and I have a fun suggestion for you for your bookclub meeting this month.

For the hostess of this month's bookclub, everyone bring one flower from your garden, and if you don't have one make one out of toilet paper or pick a dandelion ;).

Even, dandelions and wild weeds can look pretty in a cluster. Treat your hostess to this free little smorgasbord of color to set the tone and smiles for the get-together.

How will you top it in August? How about everyone bring one piece of their favorite candy .... and your hostess will have a pretty pile of sweets.

Happy bookclubbing,
Nancy
