Book Club: One Year Anniversary Celebration

Celebrando Aniversario del Grupo de Leer

One year ago, I organized a book club.  To celebrate our one year anniversary, we had brunch at the Sias house.  I couldn't resist the temptation to set a proper table for our celebration!

Hace un año desde que organizé un grupo de leer.  Para celebrar nuestro aniversario, comimos en la casa Sias.  No pude resistir la tentacion a decorar la mesa para nuestra fiesta.





Not pictured is the potluck-style buffet of carbs, carbs, and more carbs.  Yum!

No tengo fotos de la comida rica que comimos.  

After discussing our book for the month, we individually ranked the twelve books from the last year from most to least favorite.  We then compared and summed up everyone's rating for each book to determine that the Book Theif, by Markus Zusak, was the overall group favorite.

Después de hablando sobre el libro del mes, cada persona clasificó los libros del mas al menos favorito.  Comparamos nuestros clasificasiones y los sumamos para cada libro.  Determinamos que el Book Thief, escrito por Markus Zusak, era el favorito del grupo.     


Overall group ratings
I also printed up a list of the first lines from each of the twelve books we read.  It was fun to match the lines with their book.

También imprime una lista de las primeras lineas de cada libro.  Cambiar las lineas primeras con sus libros fue divertido.  

One of our group members ordered from a bakery twelve book-shaped cookies, one with the name of each book we read, to share.  The cookies were a fun surprise.

Uno de los miembros del grupo ordenó de un panadería doce galletas en la forma de libros, uno con cada título de los libros que leímos, para compartir.  Las galletas fueron una sorpresa perfecta!


Finally, we took a group picture each holding our individual favorite book from the last year.  It was a fun morning.

Al fin, nos tomamos un foto con nuestros libros favoritos del año.  Fue una mañana maravillosa.

I had a hard time with A Man Called Ove as well. I guess I missed what everyone else likes so much.
