Time to start thinking of your 1 Christmas wish…
When I was having a *really* bad day last month, I almost ducked out of my book club meeting. Only catch was, they were reading my book! When I showed up late and bedraggled, I was instantly cheered when I realized that all the members of my book club had shared our read with their kids and the kids were at the meeting, too (plus, there was pizza, bevvies and yummy appetizers from Trader Joe's)!! Since then, my affection for the idea of mother-daughter book clubs (originally ignited by Heather Vogel Frederick), has been even more kindled and I have been working on some great stuff to share with you from a real-life Mother-Daughter book club and from the author of the awesome Mother-Daughter Book Club Series herself, Heather Vogel Frederick (including a giveaway of her brand spanking new M-D BC book, Home for the Holidays!)
Isn't a Mother-Daughter Book Club the perfect thing to start just in time for Christmas? With the excessive materialism, celebrity and overall ickiness that tries to crowd into our holiday season (didn't we just survive the Ill-Conceived Female Costumes Season called Halloween?), doesn't curling up with a good book and poring over its finer points with a mug o' cocoa and good friends sound kind of perfect? Stay tuned…
[You know, if I had one Christmas wish (besides starting a mother-daughter book club), it would be for all the children of the world to get together and sing in the spirit of harmony...AND $30 million dollars to be delivered to a Swiss bank account each month in my name....*]
