What we’re about
Read Between the Lines, in a nutshell:
•Women’s book club (our first meeting was May 2022)
•Recurrence: Monthly (Generally the last Tuesday of each month)
•Books selected: Attendees are presented with 4 book options, each person votes for 1 book. The book with the most votes is selected. Voting occurs 2 months ahead
(example: At the August meeting, we will vote for October’s book, and we would have selected September’s book during July’s meeting)
•Cost: $2 per attendee per month
•It is preferable that attendees register on meetup so that we can plan the evening, but walk-ins are always welcome!
•Reading the book is not a pre-requisite, but expect to hear some spoilers!
What to expect on book club night
•The setting: We will have a reserved section of the restaurant, and you can select a seat wherever you want within this section. We will provide name tags. We will have access to full regular menu as well!
•We opted to keep this book club exclusive to women, so as to provide a safe space where women can feel encouraged to speak their honest opinions.
•Introduction: We will start with a round table introduction, where you can say your name and some small details, like how long you’ve been part of a book club, or name the last book you read.
•Discussion: We will have emailed discussion questions (and have some print copies) relative to the book. If you haven’t finished the book (or haven’t read it at all), that’s ok! But expect spoilers.
•Sometimes, we like to conclude the meeting by playing a game called “who would you cast?” where we select which actors we think would best play the characters if the book were to be made into a movie.
•Book Exchange: We will have an area designated for books that you may have at home, that you’ve read and no longer have use for (we all have a few, collecting dust, don’t we?) Likewise, you are free to browse the books other women have brought and can take them home to read.
•Meeting great women!: In our experience, you can make really great friends at book club. All ladies welcome!
