as i listened to my colleague discuss her book club and the special evenings they have discussing books, cooking dinner, drinking wine, i decided that one of these may be a good fit for me. but seeing that an invite would not make it's way across desks (not that i should expect such a thing), i finally figured out that maybe i can start my own.
so tonight i began the search, looking for tricks, tips and anything that will help ash and me produce an awesome, inspiring and fun-filled group of passionate readers.
things to consider when starting a book club:
- choose a set number of people you would like to join (not too many and not too few, depending on who will be able to come regularly and where you will meet)
- find a place that is comfortable, conducive to talking and offers space to pull out books, take notes.
- choose how you will make book selections. voting at the end of each book or selecting several books in advance to limit debate and wasting time during meetings. keep in mind the tastes of your readers and consider looking at well-accepted books by critics and the general public.
thanks to book-club-resource.com for getting us off to the right start.
