So I am the lucky one and got the assignment to host the "Breaking Dawn" book club...yipee! What a fun book club to host. Thanks Kristen. Call me a dork, but I really get into things like this, making it fun and trying to put yourself into the moment. To start out with, I downloaded a few trailers from Youtube and had those playing on the TV to get us more in the mood (I am so excited for the movie, I already have my ticket purchased, Thanks Alisha!)
I had a great turnout and the discussion was fun. We had a lot of good topics to discuss. Some loved the book, some liked the book and some didn't care to much for the book. I was with the like the book. I really had a hard time reading it, it didn't keep my interest too much. I liked it, but I found myself bored a lot. With Twilight, there was so much happening, so many things that made you want to keep reading, I didn't find that with this one. Anyway, back to book club...
For the food, I thought I would try to keep it along the red, black, fancy line...since we were dealing with vampires, and the Cullen's do like the best. For a little handout, I had "Vampire Repelling Garlic Mints," and I was so excited at how my cookies turned out. I decided to make sugar cookies and do a Team Edward-Team Jacob theme, and I must say, I was really surprised how good the werewolf cookies turned out. I wasn't too sure how they would look, but I think they turned out okay. Now the Edward cookies, weren't so fab....that's okay, Jacob deserves to have the spotlight every now and then, right?
