Getting Ready for the Holidays Extravaganza: Mayra Calvani Book

I would like to introduce you to Mayra Calvani who is a sponsoring a Young Girl Gift for my Getting Ready for the Holidays Giveaway Extravaganza Prize Pack which will be held on November 7th to 14th.  If you recall, awesome Holiday prize packs are being offered during this event filled with wonderful products for the whole family.

I'm one of those people that picks up a book and reads it in one or two sittings. I've been known to be up till 4 am just because I'm stubborn and will not put it down until I've finished it. I hope my children love to read as much as I do.  Do any of you belong to a book club - for me its an excuse to hang with my girlfriends, drink wine, eat, drink wine and oh yes discuss books we've read in a relaxed forum ; )

Well book clubs shouldn't really be for adults only.  How about getting your children into a book club or maybe they can start their own?  Many kids would love to start a book club but don't know how. Mayra Calvani approaches this subject in her book "How to Turn your Book Club into a Spectacular Event", to teach children all they need to know to become a fabulous book club hostess. My children are a tad too young to host their own book club but for the older ones starting a book club can be easy, exciting and fun. The main requirements? A little imagination and a passion for words! 

This handbook is chock full of tips and suggestions. Examples include:
How to choose books
A complete and concise explanation of different genres
Where to hold meetings
How many members to invite
How to handle discussions.
What a great way for your child to share their love of reading.  While the book targets girls from age nine and up, I can't stop from using some of the tips for the adult book club!
