My sister and sister-in-law actually came up with this project.
I’m from a pretty big family, we have a lot of fun together and they are some of my favorite people in the world. Unfortunately, now that we’re all grown up we’re spread out across the Western U.S., and don’t get to see each other too often. So we’ll be doing this project partly just to keep in touch, but also, I think it will be a good bonding kind of thing. All the women in my family (sister, 3 sisters-in-law, mother) will each read a book, making notes in the margins, highlighting favorite quotes or sections, maybe including a short review or thoughts about the book as a whole. Then we’ll mail them on, round-robin style, so we can each see what the others thought. I guess you could say it’s a long distance book club, but I think it will be much more personal than that. I think it’s going to be a lot of fun and very rewarding.
