I'm a part of several book clubs, but I made a commitment to one of my friend's book clubs, or rather, to myself. I decided I was going to read every single book this year. We have a rule-it's for fun, there is not shame, if you don't read the book, still come. So, I have, and I do, but this year, I decided to personally challenge myself.
Last year, I saw this super cute ideas for making an ornament with tiny replicas of all the books you read throughout the year, and I decided to adapt this to the 12 from our book clubs, so I made each girl one of these ornaments I'm going to gift them at our Christmas get together (and book exchange).
I bought a package of plastic, empty ornaments, and I printed off little books using thumbnail size prints. I'm going to post the whole process on youtube. I also added the year with some vinyl and a little book charm to the top.
I don't think I'll commit to that next year b/c there was one that was so not up my alley, but it was a fun year regardless, and it will encourage me to pick up more of them, in between all my 'regular' reading.
