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 year marks year number 8 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, custom mugs, 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 2025 – Day #_” and 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. There will be a digital download party favor available to everyone who comes.
Here’s an example of the games we play. This is one we used last year. Enter your answer in the comments here for fun.
At the time of the writing of this post, I was reading a Bible Study Guide on a Jet Ski. LOL!

The Posse and party is such fun. I have been a member since the beginning, and it has helped me reach into my TBR list in an interested way.
My answer above is Children’s Book on a porch swing. I can do that.
Love having you in the Posse, Betty! Those reading challenges have been great motivation for me, too! And I love the idea of reading a children’s book on a porch swing. Especially, if there’s a sweet little one sitting next to me. 🙂
Encyclopedia! on a crowded subway?
Actually reading historical fiction, in a pink top! All by my lonesome!
Ha! Reality sounds much better, Martha. 🙂
