When you are at a dinner party, do you ask people what they are currently reading? If not, why not? Have you received any great recommendations at a dinner party for a new book to read, or had an especially interesting bookish conversation there?2. Which authors, living or dead, would you invite to a dinner party? (These invites can go out one at a time or in groups so various authors would get to meet each other.)3. Which characters would you like to invite?4. Have you ever wanted to invite a historical figure after reading a biography or autobiography about that person? Who would it be?5. What would you serve at one of these parties from questions 2-4? Or perhaps, what would one of your literary guests bring if you hosted a potluck meal? 6. What is your favorite meal scene in a book (or a screen adaption of a book)? 7. Dinner parties aren’t the only times people share food and drink. Are there literary scenes you love where characters get together over brunch, afternoon tea, picnics, cocktail parties, etc.?8. Name one of your favorite cringe-worthy dinner party scenes in a book or adaptation.9. When the pandemic ends, what will you serve at your first dinner party or take to the first potluck you attend? 10. Which booktubers would you like to invite (ie, TAG) for this literary dinner party?
