Novel & Cerita Book Club Dinner Ideas

“What are your ideas? “Uhmm, I think we should organize more community events.” She said. “We could have movie nights, dinners, game nights, and other activites that bring the pack together. We could do other things as well to make the pack more like a community, and less like a collection of individuals. “What do you think?” She asked. There was murmuring among the council members, I guess they are not in agreement, but I liked the idea and so I spoke out. “I like the sound of that.” I said.

Even Dan and a small crew of postgraduate seniors had come out for the reunion dinner. The department had never been so crowded and full of laughter. Since there were so many of them, it only made sense to split up into groups to manage all the tasks they had to complete. While Niki, Bell, Scarlett, and a few others busied themselves preparing dinner in the kitchen, some played card games in the living room. Meanwhile, others played multiple rounds of “Never Have I Ever” and Pictionary– a game Scarlett did not particularly like.

"At least tell me you've been thoughtful with her." I shake my head, ashamed. Scarlett tries not to scream. "Then start there. Surprise her with something meaningful." "Jewelry, maybe?" "She might like that, sure, but I think we should start smaller. Have you ever picked her up for lunch? Dinner? Waited for her after work?" I shake my head again. She exhales, exasperated. "You could invite her to dinner. There are some beautiful restaurants where it feels like you’re inside a glass dome, with stars overhead. Super romantic."

"Well, not dinner. More like an early breakfast, if we want to be technical. It has great reviews. I can call and have them book a table." When I didn't respond immediately, Rhysand tilted his head. "Or we could do Chinese, if you aren't up for Italian." With a desperate rush, I blurted out, "Um, no—that's not what I meant. Could we do something a little more casual? While formal dinners are wonderful, they can get a bit... chaotic when we're around. Like a library convention for clowns... You're not a clown, of course. Just the atmosphere. It often gets... chaotic."

Perhaps by then, her friends would already be used to them as well. But for Lucas and Nicholas, bringing their siblings and cousins is a must since it concerns Diana. They naturally would be the first ones to want to get to know the sort of people she gets along with. They could only be assured if they interact with them. “Let’s make it a whole day event. We’ll have brunch at The Waterfront Well. Then after that, we could watch a movie at the cinema or we could go cruising on a yacht.” Rowena suggested. To say everyone was excited was an understatement.

The awareness of him beside me, solid and present, made my thoughts scatter. "So," he said, glancing at me. "Book club meetings are on Sunday afternoons. I really hope you will at least check it out once." "I'll be there," I said. "Unless I chicken out." "I'll text you the details," he said. "And if you change your mind, I’ll hold it against you till the day I die."

Mia says fanning her face. Oh yeah, somehow in the past two weeks us girls have been getting together on Fridays to discuss our book of the week, kind of like a book club I suppose? Tonight we’re at Steph and Julian’s house while X and Julian are downstairs playing pool. “Fuck me that was such a hot chapter!” Alina squeals and then takes a big gulp from her glass of wine. “I’m telling you guys, you need to role-play that scene! Julian and I did last night,” Steph beams.

As they were almost finished with dinner, Avery thought about the heartwarming dinner moments at Nei-nei’s chateau and an idea came to her, “What if…” she began, Everybody’s attention turned to her as they looked at her with eagerness as to what she had to say, “What if we gather like this at Nei-nei’s chateau for dinner some time this week.” Avery said softly, Excitement ripples through the room at her suggestion, “I am perfectly okay with that, Adrian must be lonely.” Fredrick concurred. “Or he must have started a book club at the house” Avery chuckled softly. Margaret and Alex exchanged knowing glances, nodding at each other in agreement.

He lets out a frustrated sound and tips his head back, his lips moving dramatically as he silently prays for strength to deal with me. I've seen that look enough to know what it is. "Only the first night of book club is at the store. We take turns rotating every week to people's houses. They took pity on us and let us do it together." He says, showing me his sheet of paper showing what week people signed up for. I have one as well, but I just folded it and shoved it into my book not realizing what it was. "Shit, so what does that even mean?" I ask and Everett shrugs.

He explains. He makes sense and as I take another bite of my food I mull over what I will say to her when we talk again. Do I just start with a hey, what's up? That sounds boring. Maybe I need something to talk to her about before I contact her. "We are having another pack dinner this Friday. If you want you could always ask her if she is bringing any type of food to contribute?" Dante suggests. "I could do that I guess." I say. "How do I do it though?"
