Good reads...

This Saturday I am hosting a 'book club' of sorts. I have joined a site called House Party http://www.houseparty.com/ where you can sign-up to be chosen to have a get-together with friends and try new products, read new books and..well, I'll let them explain:


"A House Party is thousands of parties across the country hosted by people like you. Each even is sponsored by a leading brand and focuses on something cool that he sponsor wants it's best fans to experience firsthand and share with their friends."

I have done this once before when I had my Cookie Exchange sponsored by Land-o-Lakes butter and Ziplock - the sent containers for all my guests, tons of great recipe cards, coupons for discounts on butter...it was great!


Anyway, this time I applied for the book Firefly Lane by Kristin Hannah.



They sent me 12 hardback books {!}, 2 of True Colors (her next book)



and an advanced copy of Winter Garden


So this Saturday, the 30th of January I and about 1,000 other hosts will be having a book party..mine will be with lunch served, talking about friendships {like in the book} and maybe even talking about our current favorite reads.


Wish you all could come. :-)
