Things I Would Have At My Bookish Party
I love this theme! This is something that I would totally love to do but would never actually do, so thanks Jana for thinking of this!
My first thought for any party is the food, duh, so I will be making cupcakes using recipes from the Cake in a Cup bakery, featured in the book Cupcakes, Trinket and Other Deadly Magic. If you haven't read this book, you definitely should! Recipes by the author here.
“That’s a Vixen in a Cup. Chocolate gingerbread cake with a salted caramel icing.”
It’s BYO-Book, obviously, this is an all day readathon, but you can pick from my bookshelves too if you like. I am considering making this a real thing for our book club (my friends made a book club but I don’t think we’ve read a book together in over a year 😄)
There will be lots of couches and bean-bags and comfy cushions with blankets for maximum reading comfort. Basically the party will be held at my dream bookstore/cafe, which is what this blog is named after!
*Literally the cushions on my couch
Everyone has to wear their favourite bookish t-shirt or accessories, and there will be a prize for the best dressed person! The prize is a book.
NO MOVIES ALLOWED - because the books are better 😉
Party Games! I need a version of trivial pursuit that is just for fantasy books! Is there a harry potter version? I’ll take it!
Of course there is...
Hermione will be there.
You can come too.

Harry Potter Trivial Pursuit, why didn't I think of that????

DeleteAll of this looks like fabulous bookish party stuff. I want that dessert now!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Me too
DeleteI want one of those cupcakes!!!
ReplyDeleteHere's my TTT list.
I linked the recipes, so you can try them if you want to 💗
DeleteYour couch...is the best. And I love the idea of using Tequila Mockingbird recipes to make the drinks.
ReplyDeleteOMGosh thankyou! They're basically just standard cocktails with bookish names lol.
DeleteOh my gosh, I want one of those cupcakes NOW. My mouth is watering. They look and sound absolutely delicious. I didn't even think about Tequila Mockingbird, but yes! That would be a lot of fun for bookish drinks. I have HP Trivial Pursuit. It's fun, but not as easy as you'd think, even if you think you're a pretty big HP fan, as I quickly found out. xD
ReplyDeleteHere's my TTT post.

Deletee idea of literary cocktails! I'll have to try some.
