Book Club Themed Flapper Party

We had sooooo much fun at the book club party. We all dressed up and had macaroons and martinis. It was truly swell. I'll let the pictures tell the story.

Martinis!

Macaroons and truffles!

The whole group.

(It's a wig, but I like it!)

We had a lot to talk about concerning the book. There were a few people who hate Ernest Hemingway. A few people thought his mistress planned it all while other thought she was innocent. We all agreed that it was overall a good book. We discussed some of the other history around Hemingway and his psyche. There was a lot to talk about besides just having fun dancing around and dressing up.

Have you read this book? What did you think?

Book Club

Our book club meeting is on Tuesday. So if you have had a chance to read The Paris Wife by Paula McLain and have something to say, write a blog post and I'll share it at the party.

 

We're having a 20s themed party. Martinis, fringe, and flapper style. I'll take pictures and blog about the party and what we all think of the book. Have a good labor day to all you American people, and have a good Monday to everyone else!

Book Club Fun!

We are reading The Paris Wife by Paula McLain for the book club. We're meeting the first week of September and I want to prepare for the themed party we'll have where we dress up and act like the book. Think Breakfast at Tiffany's and Martinis. Oh ya and The Great Gatsby, jazz music, flappers dresses. That's right, the book is based in the 1920s.

I'm so excited! Any ideas to add for costumes?
