Book Club Ideas for "Remake" {by Ilima Todd}


What a refreshingly different book!
Remake turned out to be not what most of us had expected from reading the synopsis but in a good way!

Our book Moderator for this book was Robin and she did such a wonderful job (as always) coming up with unique ways to highlight this book.

Food Ideas for "Remake" {by Ilima Todd}


We had an amazing book club meeting for Remake by Ilima Todd.
We had no idea when we were choosing our books last year for this year, that we put two ocean themed books right next to each other but we did, and I'm so happy we did!

 Both ocean themed books were wonderful, totally different books and totally different menus.
