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.
ReplyDeleteThat is so clever and adorable! Was it on Saturday, aka, Independent Bookstore Day? Also, what fun that you met up!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a cute idea! I've seen the blind date with a book idea, but not the idea of adding little items to make a cute package.
