Our Club

This blog was especially created for my friends in the Literary Casting Club.

We are a unique book club that meets on a monthly basis and take turns picking a book and hosting the meeting at our homes. We make a point to serve food that is talked about in the book, or common in that time in history or the world. Everyone does a wonderful job, and we have a great evening out!

But what makes us unique is the last part of the evening when we get our piece of Hollywood. We decided from the very first meeting to ‘cast' each character in the book as we imagined they would be played by a Hollywood star. We have put a picture with each book so we can remember who we agreed would portray our characters.

Enjoy!
