These Literary Decorations Will Be the Talk of Your Book ClubForget theme and character. Your fellow members will be too busy discussing where you got Lolita coasters and “paper” towels. Whether your book club has plowed through volume after volume, is a fledgling New Year's resolution, or just exists in a daydream (like mine does), its next meeting is worth celebrating. Transform your dining room into a library by creating your own “book smell” out of tobacco, cedar, and other woodsy candles. Old-school library cards make apt place cards, and towels printed like sheets of lined paper can sop up any spills or tears cried over books' sad endings. these-literary-decorations-will-be-the-talk-of-your-book-club_600c490 1.
