So I got this crazy idea about having a "Book Party". Inspiration was provided by my favorite 2nd hand bookstore on this planet: Ted's Paperbacks & Funky Treasures! Above is my "night before" preparations ---- organizing book searches, special categories, and wrapping up some inspirational prizes for my partygoers!
And party, we did! We went on quests for books about Ancient Times, books by female Canadian authors .... we even went on treasure hunts for old Betty & Veronica Double Digests (which seemed a worthy challenge to find!)
"Book Party"ers had to search the deepest, darkest corners of Ted's (well organized!) sections ... venturing into such remote and exotic parts as the "Metaphysical" and "Science Fiction" zones... !!
But, with their sharp & crafty research skills, the partygoers persevered and .... we got our winners!
In the category of "Best Title", the outstanding choice was .... "Silence of the Hams"!
" Most Interesting" was "The Parables of Peanuts" !! (I am ridiculously excited to start reading this.....)
And, the SURPRISE winner in the "Best Cover" category was "Dancing with Cats" !!
Who even KNEW that there was such a thing?
Check out this site.... http://www.monpa.com/dwc/ for more info on this (apparently common) activity (there are even CLASSES taught about "how to dance with cats"!) According to this website, people have been dancing with cats for centuries. (what the...?_)
Please euthanize me if I ever turn into an old hippie woman who DANCES with her CATS!! Of course I am secretly intrigued by the notion .....
I might just have to get a cat.
I also might just have to have more Book Parties!! Cheers to all partygoers AND the fabulous staff at Ted's Books!!
