The Making of a Bookclub (as generously shared by Sheila of Book Journey)


Are you a member of a book club?  If so, how well does yours work?  I belong to one which has been started, stagnated and then started again with me as the administrator of sorts.  (I use this term loosely.)  It seems like the group starts off excited and ambitious but then people just sort of drop off.  In my search for ideas, I asked Sheila at www.bookjourney.wordpress.com for some ideas as she has been a part of a long-standing book club that has sooooo much fun!!  She wrote a wonderful blog post in response to my query.  (the title of this post is the same as the title of hers)  Drop by and say hi, won't you.

If you have a chance, watch The Jane Austen Book Club.  I watched it recently and really enjoyed the dynamics of the small group that comprised the book club.  The whole idea rotates around the Jane Austen books of which the club reads one a month and then gets together to discuss the book, with food!  It seems that food really makes a book club, especially if it is themed to match the book.  

Do you have any tips or fun ideas you'd like to share here?  Please, share away!  I'm dying for more fun!
