Books to Screen Holiday Book Exchange

Join us for a special December meetup of Books to Screen: Women’s Brunch Club. This month we’re setting aside our regular reading list to give everyone a breather during the busy holiday season. Instead, we’re gathering for a cozy get-together and a fun white elephant style book exchange. #### 🎄 Optional holiday read If you’d like a little seasonal cheer, try A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. It’s a short, uplifting classic and free online. Reading it is completely optional, and there’s no pressure at all. Haven’t read it? Just come and enjoy the fun. We’ll start with a few friendly words about the book and everyone’s favorite screen adaptations of it (the Muppets, Alastair Sim, or your own pick). Then we’ll move on to the exchange. #### 📍 Location The Coffee Plantation, 7366 E Shea Blvd #101, Scottsdale, AZ 85260 #### 🕐 Time Saturday\, December 12 \| 1:00 to 3:00 PM Please arrive a few minutes early to order your coffee and get settled. #### 🎁 How the book exchange works Bring one wrapped book (new or gently used, around $10 to $15), with nothing on the outside that gives away the title Everyone draws a number Player #1 picks a gift and opens it. Each next player can either steal an opened book or pick a new wrapped one A book can be stolen up to 2 times, then it’s locked for good * Player #1 gets a final chance to swap at the end Feel free to tuck a little note inside with your name and why you love the book. Our December hostess Diana will welcome you at the cafe. Come as you are, bring your holiday spirit, and let’s celebrate our wonderful community together. 💛
