‘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.

Real Babes Read and Book End Babes Rock!

Buy+Brown Day

September 15th, 2009

mj-roseToday our atta-babe goes to MJ Rose, suspense author and book marketing brainchild behind AuthorBuzz and other book marketing programs, with yet another killer idea for promoting reading and book buying: it’s called.
buy+Brown.
Brown as in THE Dan Brown, whose new blockbuster book hits the shelves today.
It’s easy! You’re already in the bookstore picking up Dan Brown’s book but you DON’T STOP THERE. You buy ONE MORE (preferably non-Dan Brown book!)
It’s brilliant!
And, heck, if you weren’t going to buy Dan Brown’s book, go into the bookstore anyway and buy two books. Win, win!
