Bookfest

Many years ago we had our first "Bookfest" where we invited some friends over and gave presentations on our favorite books. It was so much fun, and we fully intended to make it an annual event, but like many of our best-laid plans, it ganged angly. :) On a Sunday at the end of our Book Unit, I suddenly took it into my head to try and have another one that very Tuesday, which happened to be relatively open for us. I texted a bunch of homeschooling friends and amazingly, lots of people could come! We quickly planned a little brunch menu, told people to bring their favorite books, and it was on!

Along with muffins and fruit skewers, Daisy had the cutest idea to make little egg salad sandwiches into "books." She found these boxes to be a "bookshelf" for them. I think they turned out so cute!

Amazingly, we found our old "Bookfest" banner, so we put that up!

We had a great group of friends and such a good time hearing about the books they all love! And we hope—really, this time—to have another Bookfest again next year! :)
