NGS and I met up to finish our buddy read of Kin last weekend, and we stumbled onto a book lover's dream: A build your own book bar at the cutest little bookstore. WHAT COULD BE BETTER THAN THAT? We both immediately inquired about parties-- NGS for her book club and me for Dorothy. Although, in retrospect, I am the one who would want a birthday book party.
Seriously though, how cute its this??
The shop owners curated a bunch of books that they wrapped cunningly in folded white paper, and they also provided a label with genre and a a shirt, enticing synopsis. Shoppers got to choose a book and then add a bunch of items from the book bar to create a really fun little package. (You could also pull a book from the shelf that they'd wrap for you, but we both decided to pick from the pre-wrapped baskets).
I picked a YA social justice book and added a bunch of cute stuff for Dorothy
Isn't this bookstore adorbs?
Dorothy started reading right away!
(we also brunched and shopped and talked bout our buddy read-- a fun morning!)
Which book did you get for Dorothy?! I love that she dived in right away. And I love the idea of a build your own book bar. ADORABLE. Also, hooray for a buddy read and a blogger meet up! You and Engie are darling.
