I'm Jeanna Rock and we're discussing ideas for starting a book club. Now, I'm assuming
that you're going to organize your own book club because you haven't found one that really
meets your needs. The first thing that you can do is just to notify a few friends that
you're interested in starting a book club. And let them invite people as well. Make sure
you let everyone know where you're going to meet and when you're going to meet. And for
the first discussion, I would suggest that you choose maybe some short stories that can
be found on the Internet and have some group members read those short stories and discuss
that. At that first meeting, make sure you have a lot of food because that's one reach
we do book group is for the food!! And also, discuss at that meeting where you want to
go with your book group, how you want to organize it, how you want to choose books. So mainly
your first meeting is just an organizational meeting with a little bit of discussion on
a few short stories. After you've discussed what books you're going to read for your book
group, contact your local book stores. I know that several of them have offered us a 20%
discount if we buy our books there. But we must register our book group with that store
to get the 20% discount. Also, you might want to check your library as well. The Orem City
public library also carries quite a few books available there for book groups. So you might
want to check to see what books they have available that you could check out as your
group. Also, looking at their book group lists might even give you some suggestions on books
that you might want to read as a group as well.
