THE FOOD: Each lady brought a dish inspired by a book. Only I knew what the ladies were bringing. Keeping the dishes hush-hush was part of the fun. The ones featured above include: Appetizers from Bridget Jones's Diary, Guac Salad inspired by The Tortilla Curtain, Chocolate Pie inspired by The Help, Goat Cheese and Sundried Tomato Pizza inspired by Devil Wears Prada, The Broken Wings (which was my lame contribution) inspired by a book of the same name and little cakes inspired by Alice in Wonderland. Don't you love the presentations?! I told you these ladies are creative!
BOOK QUIZ: I put together a quiz testing the ladies on opening lines from famous books. We were so busy chatting, that I don't think anyone really tried it out.
FAVORS: I put together small bags of gummy worms to take home "For Your Little Bookworms."
It was a fun night and we actually did manage to talk about our book of the month, too. If you belong to a book club, I totally encourage you to use some of these ideas to host your own potluck. Let me know if you do!
