"The View From Saturday" Book Club Guide

With the beautiful weather outside, we decided to hold a garden book club party to enjoy the last bit of summer and “The View from Saturday” by E.L. Konignsburg.

With our high school girls book club all set up, we decided to take advantage of a warm fall day and move the gathering outdoors. It felt like a garden book club party with the flowers in bloom. This month’s book was The View from Saturday by E.L. Koningsburg. A few sweet treats and a list of discussion questions sealed the deal on a sweet afternoon outdside.

GARDEN BOOK CLUB TABLESCAPE

Our flower garden was still in bloom, so we decorated with a pastel theme and added fresh flowers to tie it all together.

The centerpiece contained fresh zinnias and black-eyed Susans encircled by a grapevine wreath, pink fabric, bubble lights, candle, and a little sign.

With fall right around the corner, we served a pumpkin bundt cake and warm apple crisp.
