The Valencia Girls Book Club

 

Six girls lived in Valencia, Spain. Their names were Mar, Lucia, Carmen, Elena, Marta, and Ana. They loved reading books, so thy decided to start a book club.

Mar was the president of the club. She was organized and liked helping everyone. The girls met once a week at the home of one of the members. One week they met at Mar's house, and the next week they met at Lucia's house. They took turns hosting the meetings.

At the beginning of each month, the girls voted on the books they wanted to read. Everyone could suggest a book. Then they raised their hands to vote. The two books with the most votes were chosen. The club read two books every month.

The girls read the books at home during the week. When they met, they talked about the stories, the characters, and their favorite parts. Sometimes they agreed, and sometimes they had different opinions.

One month, they chose a mystery book and an adventure book. Elena loved the mystery because she enjoyed solving puzzles. Marta liked the adventure book because it was exciting and full of action.

During the meetings, the girls also shared snacks and drinks. They laughed, discussed the books, and learned new words. Reading became even more fun because they could talk about the books with their friends.

After a few months, the Valencia Girls Book Club became very popular. Other students at school wanted to hear about the books they were reading. The girls were proud of their club.

Mar smiled during one meeting and said, "Books can take us anywhere, but reading together makes the journey even better."

All the girls agreed. Their book club was one of the best things they had ever started.
