{Entertaining} Book Club for The Giver of Stars

 Last month I hosted book club and our  book was The Giver of Stars by Jojo Moyes.

From the author's website. 

"Alice Wright marries handsome American Bennett Van Cleve hoping to escape her stifling life in England. But small-town Kentucky quickly proves equally claustrophobic, especially living alongside her overbearing father-in-law. So when a call goes out for a team of women to deliver books as part of Eleanor Roosevelt’s new traveling library, Alice signs on enthusiastically.

The leader, and soon Alice's greatest ally, is Margery, a smart-talking, self-sufficient woman who's never asked a man's permission for anything. They will be joined by three other singular women who become known as the Packhorse Librarians of Kentucky.

What happens to them--and to the men they love--becomes an unforgettable drama of loyalty, justice, humanity and passion. These heroic women refuse to be cowed by men or by convention. And though they face all kinds of dangers in a landscape that is at times breathtakingly beautiful, at others brutal, they’re committed to their job: bringing books to people who have never had any, arming them with facts that will change their lives."

 The book was a hit but so was my vegan charcuterie board (I'm still not as good as College Girl though).

 I try and make some food that was talked about in the book, so bean soup it was!

I also made cornbread muffins.

The living room was ready for a winter book club.

The ottoman gets pretty full with snacks while we discuss the book - we like popcorn, what can I say?  I also made my Restaurant Style Salsa in a Flash and I always get a lot of compliments on it.  Another book club "on the books"!
