Serve lemon shortbread or dainty tea sandwiches from Peg’s recipe file—or something sweet that nods to the story.

3

Print and display quote cards from the Book Club Kit to spark conversation and laughter.

4

Encourage guests to dress “cozy chic” or bring their favorite vintage teacup for sipping and storytelling.

Author Q&A or Virtual Visit

Invite Jennifer to Your Book Club

I love connecting with readers! If your group is reading Welcome to McIntosh and would like to schedule a short virtual Q&A—or simply send in a few questions for me to answer—I’d be truly honored.

Whether you meet in person, online, or somewhere in between, I’d love to help make your gathering even more special.
