CLUB® CRACKERS BRINGS #BOOKTOK TO LIFE WITH THE FIRST-EVER BOOK CLUB® HOUSE - A BOOKABLE LUCY SCORE NOVEL EXPERIENCE FOR BOOK CLUBS
This National Book Month, Club® Crackers is taking your group out of the chat and into your favorite series with the ultimate weekend getaway book clubs can reserve exclusively on HomeToGo
CHICAGO, Sept. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Have you ever wanted to literally live inside your favorite book? Club® Crackers gets the hype, with the '#BookTok' love amounting more than 220 billion views on TikTok and book club event listings on the rise1. To celebrate the love of good reads and good snacks with your club, Club Crackers and #1 New York Times bestseller and BookTok sensation Lucy Score are teaming up to bring Score's hit Riley Thorn romantic mystery series to life with the Book CLUB® House — a destination your club can book for the ultimate literary weekend getaway, available to rent starting today exclusively on HomeToGo.
Tucked in the rolling hills of Riley Thorn and Lucy Score's hometown – Harrisburg, Pa. – the Book CLUB® House is packed with Easter eggs from the books, series-inspired charcuterie spreads and, of course, flaky, buttery Club Crackers for noshing. Guests at the Book CLUB® House can indulge in a Lucy Score-written itinerary, filled with "spooky season" activities and IYKYK nods to the series — like tarot card readings, scenic hikes, winery excursions and more. Plus, the author herself will virtually drop in on one lucky club staying at the house. Talk about the ultimate book club gathering!
"I had an absolute blast creating experiences inspired by the lighthearted, mysterious fun of the Riley Thorn series and the delicious flavor of Club Crackers to help book clubs have an adventure in Harrisburg just like Riley and her quirky crew," said Lucy Score, author of the Riley Thorn series. "It gives me so much joy to see this series bringing people together, from the #BookTok comments sections to book club hangouts, and now with the Book CLUB® House."
At the Book CLUB® House, fans and their clubs can write the pages of their own adventures for a weekend filled with main-character energy.
"As a staple on spreads and platters at any book club gathering, we know how special it is for your club to connect over experiences that take the story beyond the book," said Carrie Foose, director of brand marketing for Kellanova Crackers. "That's why we're offering a book club experience like no other — transporting your entire club into the pages of your favorite books — with plenty of Club Crackers to munch on, of course. We can't wait to bring the world of Lucy Score to her fans and watch this first-of-its-kind immersive experience come to life."
"Just like the protagonist in a great read, a vacation rental is essential to an amazing trip. We at HomeToGo are very excited to be a core part of making the Book CLUB® House exclusively available to select guests," said Danielle Finch, Director of Customer Experience, HomeToGo. "Across our 15 million global unique rentals, the Book CLUB® House is a truly one-of-a-kind experience and we look forward to seeing it come to life."
The Book CLUB® House will be listed and bookable exclusively on HomeToGo, a vacation rental marketplace specializing in making incredible homes easily accessible to everyone.
