December Book Club Holiday Party

Book: The Greatest Nobodies of History: Minor Characters from Major Moments by Adrian Bliss
Location: Lisa's House

We are going to have a gift-giving book exchange/Dirty Santa. Everyone attending brings a wrapped new (or gently used) book you think someone would like to read. Going in order, we each randomly pick and unwrap a book. The player can either keep their book, or take one of the previous player's books. Everyone walks away with a new unexpected read to enjoy during the holidays!

Let's bring appetizers/finger foods, and desserts. Adult drinks are welcome!

If you want to bring a dish, add a comment to this event. This way we'll make sure to have a variety.

Book description:
The lives of Leonardo da Vinci, Henry VIII, and Queen Victoria fill bookshelves and fascinate scholars all over the world. But little attention is given to the ferret who posed for the Renaissance master, the servant who oversaw the Tudor’s toilet time, or the famous horse who thrilled the miserable old monarch.
These supporting cast members have been waiting in the wings for too long, and Adrian Bliss thinks it’s high time they join their glory-hogging contemporaries in the spotlight. Fortunately—thanks to some recently discovered ancient complaint letters, court transcripts, and memoirs in bottles—now they can.
Equal parts fascinating and hilarious, The Greatest Nobodies of History is a surreal love letter to life’s forgotten heroes, featuring hitherto undocumented accounts from Ancient Greece to the front lines of the Great Emu War.
All that follows really happened, and some of it could even be true.
