The book club I joined just after moving here from LA had a getaway to celebrate 5 years together. In 5 years we have read 43 books, had some great food, made some great friends and most of all had some amazing discussions.
My friend Brooke and I organized the weekend and had a sign made for the group. We have called the group the Book Club Boozers since I started a blog for us 3 years ago. It goes with the fact that the club is half wine half book club...and was just funny.
We got together at one of our member's father in law's house in the mountains...he is a hunter and his house is FULL of stuffed animals. This is one corner of one room!
Brooke and I made a quiz for the gals about things that have happened in the group during the 5 years.
We made goodie bags for everyone including tote bags with all of the books we've read, this book belongs to stickers, future book club book and other fun little goodies.

we then did a quiz on the books we've read
the newbie (Beth) and the skimmer (Julie) not the best pair for the book quiz
a toast to 5 years...and hopefully MANY more!
Julie made some amazing cupcakes to celebrate
