🎉 Our final Literary Libations meeting of the year
We’re closing out 2025 with a festive roundtable gathering—part reflection, part celebration, and all about enjoying time together with familiar faces and new friends.
These December meetups are always extra fun, and this year we’re adding a new twist or two to make it even more special.
~What to Expect~
📚 Year in Review
No new book to read. Let’s talk books, we’ll reflect back on our club’s 2025 nominees—what we loved, what didn’t land, what surprised us, and what we might’ve missed. We’ll also talk about our favorite non‑book‑club reads, so come ready to write down some great new additions to your TBR.
🎁 Unwrap a Question & a Treat
To make it extra festive, for those who’d like to participate, our discussion questions will be passed around in a basket to choose at random. Each one will be tucked inside a gift box and paired with a little holiday surprise—like candy, tea, bookmarks, bookish stickers, etc. Every draw will not only spark conversation but also unwrap a bit of holiday fun.
And in the spirit of sharing, it’s a mini white elephant: if you’d rather swap your treat with someone else, feel free!
🎁 Wrapped Book Swap
If you’d like to participate, bring a book (or two) you’ve read and want to pass along—or maybe one that’s been sitting in your TBR pile a little too long. Wrap it to your liking and jot a few clues on the outside: genre, year released, themes, or a short teaser. We’ll line them up when we arrive, and at the end of the night, we will browse the mystery picks and take home something new.
✨ Let’s Get Festive
Join me in the spirit of the season:
1- Snacks! If you’re interested in bringing anything sweet or savory to share.
2- Wear your favorite holiday‑themed attire… your ugly sweater, your reindeer antlers, your snowflake earrings—whatever inspires you.
No pressure on either, just a little extra cheer if inclined.
