Planning your own book group get-together for the Scarlett books? Here are some party ideas from author Maureen Johnson
Invite: 1930s, stylish, Art Deco
Food: Cake. There must be cake. Also, doughnuts. And weird herbal teas.
Décor: Art Deco or Theater Shabby. Your choice.
Movies: Anything set in New York. (Except
Cloverfield, maybe.)

Game: Unicycle riding.
Planning your own Gallagher Girls book group get-together? Here are some party ideas from featured author Ally Carter.
Invite: Send a coded message via covert means. (This invitation will self-destruct in three...two...)
Décor: Plaid, crests, swords, and cut-out letters
Food: Peanut M&Ms, "drugged" apples, crème Brule, and, of course, Evapopaper (perhaps phyllo dough could be used in such a way)
Movies & TV Shows: Alias, the Bourne movies, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Craft: Make a hair bow out of coordinating plaids; create a super secret book cover to hide your covert texts; hollow out an old lipstick tube or some other innocuous-looking container to form a secret carrying device; make a holder for all that dangerous/killer spaghetti.
