Today was Book Club! (BTW that just made me think of how, during student teaching, the el ed majors would call gathering at the bar next to campus Friday afternoons "book club"...oh the good times...) Anyways, this book club actually does involve some reading. This month the book of discussion was Harry Potter 7, which of course we had all read before, but wanted to reread/discuss with the movie just coming out (which I still have not seen!!!). Actually though, I'm pretty sure that the only reason we picked HP was so that we could just keep discussing the Hunger Games Trilogy, our OBSESSION. The past two book clubs have both been discussing Hunger Games books, and both had fabulous Hunger Games themed desserts, including a cookie cake designed like the arena in book 2, and cookies shaped like Katniss's mockingjay pin. All courtesy of our resident book club baking/cooking/crafting EXTRAORDINAIRE!!! This month, we upped the ante by each writing trivia questions for one of the books so we could have our own Hunger Games Game. God, we are so lame, but it was so much fun.

| Too fabulous to eat...almost! |
This month, she outdid herself and cooked up this AMAZING edible Hunger Games game board!!! We had a great time moving our game piece around the brownie board, answering trivia questions, and eating amazing food. The beverages were one thing that DID go along with the Harry Potter theme--butter beer floats and pumpkin juice! Umm can you say delicious?

I apologize to anyone who is bored outta their minds because they don't know what on earth The Hunger Games are. I suggest you read the
book review I wrote on them a few months ago, then get yourself to the library ASAP because you are missing out on one awesome book series!!!
Next month's book club book? Twilight. I have never read it and the other girls are avid fans who insist I will love it. And, let's be honest...we just can't bring ourselves to tackle an adult book. :) That's okay...right?
