Join the Posse Party
Every year during the first week of August I host a big bookish bash in my Facebook group – The Posse. It’s hard for me to believe, but this week marks year number 9 for the group, and we’re still going strong. I’m so blessed by this community of readers. We have so much bookish fun and everyone is always quick with an encouraging word or a funny pun. And when I need brainstorming help or a focus group to give me reader opinions on images/ads, my Posse is where I turn first.
Because they are such a blessing to me, I try to return the favor by throwing a week-long birthday bash each summer. All this week we’ve been playing games and having loads of fun. There are daily prizes to be had, including signed books, mugs, journals, bookish goodies, and a whole lot more.
It’s not too late to join the fun. If you’re not a member of my Posse, you can join today and still get in on the celebration. Just look for the posts marked “Posse Party 2026 – Day _.” Play the game and leave a comment to be entered for a chance to win that day’s prizes. You can go back to enter for previous days as well since winners won’t be chosen until Saturday.
Here’s an example of the games we play. This is one was used in a previous year. Enter your answer in the comments here for fun.

Jelly beans! I have to limit the amount of Jelly Bellies I buy because it’s easy to keep grabbing them throughout the day.
My husband calls them sugar pills. 🙂
-lasso
-licorice
-leggings(chaps)
Excellent “L” items!
I love the Posse and have been a member since the beginning.
For this game I would list sugar, salt, spools of thread for Strohecker. By the way, during my recent trip to California, I visited the town of Julian, an old gold mining town, which takes you back in time with their historic downtown section. I love going to Julian and shopped at the Julian Mercantile!
What a fun trip, Betty! And those are great “S” items! Very 19th century!
Raw sugar
Ribbons
