‘Bama Babes Book Party

November 10th, 2009

038The Alabama Chapter of Book End Babes, the WebbWeaver Book Club gathered on November 3rd for their second book party. Our lit sisters were oh-so-kind to give us a report and recipes!

Sausage-Cream Cheese Swirls

One pound medium or hot sausage browned
8 oz. cream cheese softened
1 pkg. Pillsbury Butter Crescent Rolls

Combine browned, drained sausage and softened cream cheese in a bowl. Unroll the crescents in two sections and knead perforations together to form 2 square sections. Spread half of sausage-cream cheese mixture evenly on each section of crescents and roll into log. Freeze logs for about 15 minutes and then cut into 1/2 inch slices. Lay on ungreased cookie sheet and bake as per crescent directions.

Cheese Cake Cups

One Jello No-Bake Cheesecake
Cupcake cups
Desired toppings (chocolate chips, cherries, etc.)

Place cupcake cups in muffin pan (12). Mix Jello No-Bake cheesecake filling and crust as per directions on box. Press crust into each cake cup evenly and then add cheese cake filling on top of crust. Refridgerate till ready for use and top as desired before serving.

The meeting was a blast. We served the above goodies above plus crackers and cheese. We also served Merlot and White Zinfendel wines. We discussed the books we’de read over the past month and we decided on a monthly instead of bi-monthly meeting. The girls chose the books they wanted to read for the next meeting which are as follows:

041Tammie L. chose Angels and Demons and The Di Vinci Code by Dan Brown and Enslave by Cathy Yardley, which was sent to CK from Book End Babes.

Sonya P. selected Darkfever and Bloodfever by Karen M Moning and The Host by Stephanie Meyer.
CK picked Doomsday Key by James Rollins for review and DJ picked Royal Exile by Fiona McIntoch and Tears of Pearl by Tasha Alexander for review.

The club’s next project will be a live, sit-down author interview that will be posted on the WebbWeaver blog during November.

011Chapter Report!

The first meeting of the Alabama Chapter of BookEndBabes met on Tuesday, Sept. 29, 2009 at the home of Queen Bee DJ. We rang in our first meeting with toasts and cheers of White Zinfandel and Merlot with cheese, crackers and cookies. And we were off. We discussed the books we had read and those we would like to read in the future. All our members are interested in different reading genre so we decided to let each member pick what they would like to read and then give us all a run down of their book at the next meeting.
Tammie chose installments one and two of Lara Adrian’s Night Breed Series, Kiss of Midnight and Kiss of Crimson. Sonya chose Dan Brown’s The Lost Symbol. CK is reading Richard Jay Parker’s Stop Me and will be reviewing this book for the WebbWeaver blog. DJ is reading Stacey Voss’ Thunder and Blood which will also be reviewed on the blog and will be part of a three-day Virtual Book Tour being hosted by WebbWeaver featuring Stacey which will end in a signed book give away. This Virtual Book Tour will be held from Nov. 1st-3rd with questions from our followers. We also have questions that the members of the book club gave us for Stacey.
A good time was had by all and the Book Club will meet again next month with reports on the books being read by our members.
So ended our first Book Club Meeting. – ck webb & dj weaver
