Read Between the Hines

It's happened. The Hines (or Hines a heart) girls have gathered forces to create a book club. Kristin, Elise, Michelle, Caitlin, Erin and I have entered into the life-long-binding-sisterhood of a book club. 'What will this book club look like?', you may ask yourself. We came together to answer those questions.

We had a LOVELY dinner with amazing place settings (made by Caitlin!) last night to decide what our book club would be.

Not knowing how we would decide who chose the first book I went ahead and did a little research and came with three options. The options I came with were Miss. Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, Sarah's Key, and The Glass Castle. I haven't read any of these books but they all seem like really great options and I plan on reading all three.

I won't go through our entire decision making process because- as some of you would know how our family gets at family things- most of the suggestions were on the more ridiculous side and were just plain silly. What we did decide was that we would be a book club sans rules. We can make suggestions, however. Suggestions like; bring a few choices when it is your turn, we will go in reverse age order for book choosing, the book chooser will host the next book club and choose the main course while the rest of the book club will bring side dishes.

I'm very excited about the book we chose. I asked everyone to do a golf-clap style applause-o-meter to pick their favorite choice but we ended up just going in a circle and saying what we wanted. We were unanimous and chose Miss. Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children! I am really excited to read this book. Look it up and read along with us if you'd like!

Lastly, we left the meeting by deciding a name for our book club. We wanted to incorporate Hines, obviously, and possible a pun or alliteration. Our faithful knowledge owner, Kristin, proposed 'Read Between the Hines'. Obviously, we all wholeheartedly agreed! However, that is not the full title of our book club...
The full title is,
Read Between the Hines: A Sisterly Book Club of Common Courtesy.
We're going to be a big deal.
