Book Clubs - A fun February Project

Just not sure what to read next? Being a southern girl I love looking to the Southern Independent Booksellers Alliance (SIBA)  to see what they recommend. I almost always discover a new gem.

This month I have the great honor of having Sweet Tea and Secrets grace that page with lots of other fabulous books, like one of my favorite authors - Mary Alice Monroe.

With Valentine's Day around the corner why not challenge all your book-loving friends to go old-school and decorate paper valentine's for each other this year. It'll be big fun...trust me. If you're just too darn busy, buy a box of pre-made ones and pick out the perfect ones for your girls. It's the thought that counts.



And...to put you in the mood...here's a link from the Huffington Post of some funny cards.

Have a fabulous February!

Braggin' on the Book Club Babes Scrapbook

Hi friends,
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 :)
