Over the Moon Excited!

Today has been a great day! I got to work late as usual, and had this waiting for me in my email inbox:

Dear Jennifer, Wish I could have joined you when you reviewed my book Summer at Tiffany! What an impressive decor for the party--and better-than-Shrafft- sundae. Love your art--what a talented gal you are! . Thank you, Marjorie Hart

How neat is that! It is from the author of our last Paper[back] Dolls book selection, Summer at Tiffany! It was a biography of her summer living in New York in 1945 as Tiffany's first page girl. I am so so excited! I forwarded it to all of the book club girls, and I am going to email her back with some of our questions from the book.

Totally made my day, week, month, year!!! Book clubs are such wonderful things, and authors who take the time to write their fans are even better!

Such a wonderful Friday surprise!

Good Times!

My friend Tish posted this picture on her blog from our super fun Paper[back] Dolls meeting last month. I noticed three things:
1. I need to remove things from my fridge. It has WAY too much stuff on it!
2. I need to quit being lazy and cleaning my mirror with my kitchen counter spray and break out the Windex!
3. We are really awesome.

That is all. We had so much fun that night! I can't wait until we meet again at Tracy's house! (Tracy is the one being a goof)

Paper[Back] Dolls

Our new book club, The Paper[back] Dolls, had our first book discussion meeting last night at my house. We had so much fun! The book was Summer at Tiffany by Marjorie Hart. Everyone loved it! It was a sweet biography about a college girl in 1945 who spent the summer working as Tiffany's first female page. It was a delightful read!

The girls in the book ended their summer with fancy ice cream Sundays, so of course for dessert we had to have fancy ice cream Sundays! Yummy!

The decor. Everyone got fancy giant diamond rings to wear. A must have when discussing Tiffany's.

The toppings...
The results...

I highly recommend being part of a book club. I am really enjoying it! Our next book is Love Walked In by Marisa de los Santos.


Tracy, our awesome note taker and question thinker, picked it.I am sure it will be LOVELY! Can't wait to read it!

Here are some more photos of the discussion/Ice Cream Sunday fest!

La Petit Book Club

Last Thursday I decided I needed to start a book club, and last night we had our first meeting! I feel like a productive girl! We met at my favorite coffee, art and yummy food spot, Caffe Tazza in Tyler. (Where I will have my art show on Feb. 5th- please come... hint hint)

I invited my two friends Christie and Tracy, and Tracy invited her two friends Tish and Jessica. Everyone seemed excited to be a part of a new club that encourages us to read good books, have fun gatherings and make new friends.

Here is our first club photo...From right to left, Me, Tracy, Jessica, Tish and Christie...

To get things off on a fun start, I picked the book Summer at Tiffany by Marjorie Hart. I had previously blogged about this book from my Barnes and Nobles sale post earlier this week. It looks like a fun and easy read. I think everyone is just as excited as I am about the book!

Our next meeting will be in one month, and I can't hardly wait! I am going to host the first actual book review meeting, so I will be brainstorming on fun ways to incorporate the book into the event. I am excited to say the least!

P.S. We still need a name. Any ideas? We all like being creative, books, dogs and we all live in Tyler.Me and Tracy... she works upstairs from me now- Hooray!
