"100th Book" Party

Hi Everyone,

We had a lovely - but breezy - time as we discussed our community read book "Unbroken".  It was nice to have others join us for an always insightful discussion of the book, it's impact on us and what we have gained from reading this.  Providing food for a larger group based on a book that was about starvation was a bit of a challenge as we didn't want to serve just rice and water.  Hat's off to Lisa for her lovely tray of seaweed and goldfish crackers!  Also enjoyable was making the poster featuring pictures of all the 100 books that have been read.  It was great to remember which ones we really liked and which ones we didn't enjoy as much.  Sharing this with our guests and finding out which books on our poster they have also read and enjoyed made for interesting discussion.  It also reminded us of two books which were inadvertently left off our reading list!  So, we found we've got a jump start on our second hundred books to read!  It was great seeing everyone and learning and sharing.  A lovely afternoon with special friends!
