Read it and Eat : A Month-by-Month
Guide to Scintillating Book Club
Selections and Mouthwatering Menus
by Sarah Gardner
Yes! Just The Kind Of Book We Need.
A must-have for reading groups whose members love Jacqueline Susann
as much as John Steinbeck and Cosmopolitans as much as chamomile
tea.
Read It and Eat is a hip, witty, and occasionally irreverent guide to
creating book club get-togethers with flair, sparkle, and delicious food and
drink based on Gardners popular newsletter, The Literary Gathering.
Appealing to the nearly 10 million book club members nationwide, Read It
and Eat features fiction and nonfiction reading selections ranging from

timeless classics to irresistible beach reads, and recipes for easy-to-
prepare (and easy-to-transport!) cocktails, finger foods, sit-down dinners,
and satisfying snacks, from Confessions of a Shopaholics Cut-Back
Shrimp Curry and The Tortilla Curtains Mint-Garnished Mojitos, to Gone
With the Winds Georgia Peach Bread and Horse Heavens Champagne
Juleps.
Organized by month, each chapter highlights a different theme (i.e.,
January: Change Your World; February: Be My Valentine) and contains an
introduction to the theme and reading selections; engaging, thought-
provoking discussion points; and recipes inspired by the readings. As fun
to read as it is to use, Read It and Eat promises to be the strappy high-
heeled sandal in the book club world of loafers and Birkenstocks.
Personal Review: Read it and Eat : A Month-by-Month Guide to
Scintillating Book Club Selections and Mouthwatering Menus by
Sarah Gardner
What a great book for book clubs or to help jump start your reading! This
book is a guide to monthly reading suggestions for your book club, and
offers 4 different books to read each month along with recipes that go
along great with the action of the book. Also included are 4 bonus
chapters for additional ideas as well.
Each month offers a theme including: "Not-So-Lazy Summer Reads" for
August, "Change Your World" for January's New Year's resolutions, and
"Celebrate Banned Books Week" in September. After a synopsis of each
book, you will find thought provoking questions for your book club
discussion, or just to spark thought if you have read the book on your own.
To go along with the book, the author offers several great recipes that she
suggests are brought to the book club discussion...a great bonus so that
you don't have the usual cake and cookies fare after your meeting!
Pick up this book if you are in a book club, or if you want to find a great
book to read each month. Then treat yourself to a meal that reminds you
of each great selection. Enjoy!
