Book Club Checklist

Think why you are starting a book club. Decide what type of people will make up the club. Decide what types of books will your club read. Think who will be the leader of the book club. Decide where your book club will hold the meetings. Consider opening a virtual book club. Determine what is the minimum and the maximum number of members that your club can accommodate. Decide when will be the first meeting. Find prospective memebers of the club and contact them. Before the first meeting, recommend that everyone has read at least one chapter of the chosen book and has at least one question to discuss.

Decide who will lead the book club meetings. Set a price limit to books you will be reading. Decide who will keep the record of all the books read. Decide on the place for next meetings. Decide if anyone should organize drinks and/or snacks.

Allow each member to make a suggestion and take a vote. Take turn - choose a person to decide what book should be selected next. Taka a blind vote. Have several book titles ready and blindly select the one. Check magazines or newspapers for book reviews and select the book with the best opinions.

Write down page numbers and passages that you would like to share with the group. See if any one in the group has a question they'd like to discuss. Find discussion questions on publishers' websites. Talk about the character development. Discuss similarity to any other books. Discuss Why you think the author chose the title. Discuss the parts of the book that you didn't understand.
