Between The Lines discussion

~Do: Read the book (or at least attempt to).
We get it. Sometimes you don’t have time to read, or you dislike the book so much that you can’t bring yourself to finish. Either way, do try to read each month's book so you can contribute to the discussion. If you don't want to read the book, post in the comment section that you are quitting for this month only.

~Don’t: Forget that everyone reads at their own pace.
There will always be someone who reads the book in a day and someone who doesn’t finish it until the day of the meeting. If you’re a speed reader, don’t spoil the book for others. If you’re slow but steady, make sure you give yourself enough time to finish. Keep in mind that everyone is busy, and cut your fellow readers some slack when needed.

~Do: Speak up.
Don’t be afraid to share your thoughts, even if you disagree with the rest of your group. If everyone says the same thing, then there won’t be much in the way of interesting discussion. Let your unique voice be heard. Dont be afraid to speak up.

~Don’t: Streamroll and be rude.
No one likes a conversation hog (sorry if it's rude). Everyone’s opinion matters, so it’s important to make sure everyone gets a chance to express themselves. Also, dont be rude to others. Mean comments will be deleted. So, keep that in mind please.

~Do: Bring questions.
Writing down your thoughts ahead of time can be a great way of spurring conversation when it lulls. Just ask away the question that has been nagging you.
