No, the sun wasn't shining but the garden book party was wonderful nevertheless. Just combine a bunch of historical fiction lovers, some flowers, yummy cake - and a stack of freshly printed books and it can't help but be fun! Thank you, Jim and Kathy, for hosting such a memorable event! My only regret is that these pictures of just one small part of their backyard don't even begin to do it justice. I was so busy talking books I didn't take pictures!
I took a picture of the cake before it was unwrapped. The book cover at center is made of edible rice paper:) I never knew such things were done but it sure works well for book parties. And all of it was eaten, to the last crumb. Lael began to look a little wilted at party's end but some guests had two pieces, including me, so she didn't last long. Thank heavens for good friends and good books!

That cake looks so good! I bet that was fun, especially with the lovely scenery and everything.
ReplyDeleteIt was great! And the filling was strawberry cream:) I wanted to stay the night and camp out by the waterfall!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your launch party, Laura. The cake is lovely. I'm sure you savored every moment of your special event.
ReplyDeleteThe cake is gorgeous! I am so thrilled for you. I have 2 book reviews to finish this week and then I plan to start your book - can't wait!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
Bobi,
ReplyDeleteWhen I think of how active you are in the writing community of Kentucky and all your great blogs, I'm amazed you'll get to my book before Christmas!! I'm thrilled you want to read it! I look forward to hearing your insights about the book:)
Hi Keli,

ReplyDeleteglad the party went well.
Yes, Lisa, now I'm ready for another launch - but the 2nd book isn't out till next August. I really like these book events:)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful party! I'll bet is was as special as a bridal or baby shower. There's only a few times in life to have that kind of excitement!
ReplyDeleteMary,
ReplyDeleteIt was wonderful. Wish you could have joined me! All of this, right down to holding my book for the first time, is really just second to holding my newborns:)
