Between the Lines

One of my favorite hobbies is reading. I have always been a reader and working in a library has only increased my love of books. I was thrilled to find that Kristyn of Chits and Giggles was also an avid reader. Do you like to read? Are you itching to talk about the books you have read in the past? Well, this is right up your alley! Together we are thrilled to bring you a bloggers book club!

How does it work?

It's easy. We will let you know what book you need to read for the month and you read the book. Then we will post easy discussion questions that you can answer and post. We will host a linkup on both of our blogs so that we can all share our thoughts from the book we just read. We already have 4 books chosen and I am so excited about all of them.

When does the linkup happen?

We will be hosting the linkup on the 3rd Tuesday of every month. So, for you that aren't good at math - I'm terrible at it - that is January 20th, 2015.

Do I have to be a blogger to participate?

No! Anyone can read these books and work through the discussion questions. If you are a non-blogger, you can always comment on either of our blogs to discuss things about the book that you loved/hated/had questions about.

When will you announce each new book?

We already have 4 lined up, but we will be announcing each book when we post the linkup. You will basically have a month to complete reading the book. We will be posting the discussion questions a month ahead of time, so don't worry about missing those. If you can't finish the book in time, no problem! This is for fun, not for class or anything like that! If you have any other questions, please leave it in the comments and we will get back to you!


Alright, the book for January is going to be a doosy. I have not read this book, but if it is anything like Gone Girl, I know it's going to be amazing and crazy. So here we go:

Here are our discussion questions for this book:
1. Libby became famous as a victim—how do you think this strange fame effected her? 2. What do you think of Patty Day as a mother? Is she doing the best she can, or is she making excuses for herself? 3. Why do you think the author chose to set the murders on a farm? What images and themes does the heartland and farming evoke? 4. What do you believe in Diondra’s motivation throughout the story? Does her relationship with Ben change him?

Remember to come and link up with us on January 20th!
