Mother-Daughter Book Club

A couple of Allie's friends started a Mother-daughter book club last week.  We all got together and we did a fun get-to-know you night where we did introductions, enjoyed a quick game of Apples to Apples, and ate cupcakes and chocolate. The first set of books to read were introduced.

The book series the girls decided to read: 39 Clues!  There are 10 in the series, and these kind usually isn't on Allie's book choice radar -but after she got into it, she said to me, "Mom I normally wouldn't pick to read this kind of book, but I LOVE it!" (She usually likes books about mermaids, mythical princesses, fairies, and anything magical - like Wings, Spells, Philippa Fisher, etc).  Ah, the beauty of book clubs!
 

Allie read the first book pretty speedily  (she's a fast reader) and can't wait to read the rest.  One thing she likes too is that they have a cool website to go along with the books.  Our next meeting is in a couple of weeks and we can't wait to have more m-d time with her girl friends and their moms.  And yes, the 10 year olds thought of this whole thing and put it the book club together themselves.
