We have just
celebrated one year of a successful bookgroup.
Our celebration consisted of lunch with dishes of food which represented
the countries in the books we have read over the year including Malaysian, Vietnamese, Spanish
and English tasty dishes. Sangria rocks!
Over the past
year these are the books we have read:
·
Eat Pray Love
|
·
The Book Thief
|
|
·
The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo
|
·
The Girl Who Played With Fire
|
·
The Elegance of the Hedgehog
|
·
The Great Gatsby
|
·
Lady Chatterley’s Lover
|
|
·
A Spot of Bother
|
·

|
|

We read a
book a month and meet for breakfast at a cafe once a month to discuss the book and
catch up on any other girly gossip while drinking coffee and eating eggs on
toast. What a great bunch of women!
The most
hated book
Eat Pray
Love. This is unfortunate because I was
the only one who liked it! Yes, I did
get bogged down in India, but enjoyed the rest of the book greatly. Everyone else hated it and can’t stop saying
how self-possessed the writer was. We also
didn’t do so well with classics – especially when the first sentence of a book
takes a whole paragraph on the page.
Most enjoyed
books
·
TheGuernsey Literary & Potato Pie Peel Society – could possibly be at the top of this list. So gripping and
beautifully written. My mum loved it too.
·
The
Girl With The Dragon Tattoo; and The Girl Who Played With Fire. What could I possibly
add to these? These books have taken the
world by storm. Excellent reads.
Bring on the next 12 months. There is a world of great stories out there just
waiting to be devoured.
