Howdy, folks! Welcome to our very first 2016 book of the month: King Arthur! The theme is King-Arthur-in-general rather than a specific King Arthur book, since there are so many and I have no idea which one is my favorite. Since the bright and shiny New Year newness hasn’t quite worn off for me yet, I thought it would be fun to start things off with one of our new additions to the blog this year: a reading kit!
I posted a few homemade reading kits on Real Life at Home last year, but now my plan is to make reading kits here on the blog for every Book of the Month. What’s a reading kit, you ask? It’s basically a compilation of items mentioned in a book or related to the subject matter, often including a copy of the book itself (I first heard of the idea on Epic Reads). When I make a kit, I like to include a snack, three items related to the book, and the fanciest copy of the book I can find.
I’ve included links to each of the items below, making it easy to whip up a kit for yourself or an avid reader in your life. So grab your kits and read on, my valiant Knights of Wonderland! 🙂
What items would I include in a King Arthur reading kit? I’m so glad you asked…
This awesome Camelot mead to serve at your legendary medieval feasts
And of course you need something to drink your mead out of.
A dessert fit for a king: King Arthur Flour cake mix and a dragon cake pan
This utterly regal pen holder to remind you that you’re sovereign of all you survey
And don’t forget this gorgeous book to end all gorgeous books.
Oooo these are some nifty things! I love the cake pan. ^ ^

I plan on using it later in the menu. A friend of mine calls it the “Arthur Pan-Dragon” pan. ^.^
