Some ideas that were thought of for celebrating the event are:
Invite all past members of the We Really Read The Book
book club to join us.
Tell NCRL, and suggest a story in the newsletter.
Host somewhere a little larger than at one of our homes.
Invite spouses and partners - families too, I think.
And in addition, here's some ideas I will throw out:
Whatever book Barbara chooses, make it a
One Community book for the whole Entiat Valley.
See if we can get the author to either visit,
or to correspond with us somehow.
Celebrate with all who read as well.
Advertise with help from the Friends of the Entiat Public Library.
(These are just ideas from me, so let's just play with them and see if they sound like fun to you all or whether we should keep it simple!)
Thanks all for being such great guests at my house for the last dinner. I love that you are all game for not only reading such a diverse range of books, but for trying out my experimental cooking projects! It was interesting to read and discuss Hotel at the Corner of Bitter and Sweet. The rating turned out to be a solid 5.27. I will experience Seattle in a whole new light, and hope to visit the Panama Hotel the next time I am there.
In regards to our next meeting, I spoke to Claudia today and Wednesday, November 9 at 5:30 at her house is good (unless she gets called to jury duty, for which she is on call) .
