start a book club

Have 5-7 people meet once a month.

i started a book club online for college students..i can’t wait to get started :) I already have 2 other girls in it. always room for more :)

A girl from work and I had our first meeting last week. We’re reading “Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.” We haven’t finished the book yet as we’re both pretty busy with teaching, grad school, etc. We’re meeting in sections each week rather than doing a whole book and meeting once a month. Our goal is to talk it up and get others involved.

My girlfriends and I started a book club after reading the twilight series. We realized we all we reading them and wanted to share and we should take such an antisocial hobby and make it an excuse to spend more time together. We had our first official meeting last week where we discussed how we were going to run this thing and we chose to read Charlaine Harris’ Southern Vampire stories in honor of the new HBO series Trublood. We’re starting with Dead Until Dark starting September 1st. We’ll be announcing the discussion date once we have an idea of how quickly we’ll finish it. I’m assuming we’ll all read it in a week or two. If you’re interested in joining, look us up on Google Groups or Myspace! You can participate in the discussions when announced and read with us. However, to be an official member of the book club you must read all the books within the deadline and attend all meetings. Unofficial members are always welcome through our online forums! Happy Reading!

I need to find some way to have some social interaction with people in this town. It has been very difficult so far to meet people that we are compatible with.

I love to read and am always reading something. But recently I’ve thought maybe I would get more out of books I read if I had a group of people to discuss it with. My boyfriend wants no part in it. (i think it’s the whole socializing thing he’s against) anyway, I think with my own rules, it would be fun… Wine and book reading, excellent combination.

So far I have one friend at work interested, so i’m gonna go from there.

I really enjoy reading and want to be in a book club. My sister lives in california and says it is so fun. I moved “down the bayou” last year and the only people I really know is people associated with my sons friends, aftercare or school. I think this is a good way to make friends and have time to socialize with other people other then my husband, son or co-workers. I have know idea how to do it but seems fun.

Greetings everyone, I’m a long time member of 43things. With some of the skills I’ve learned in my “things” over the past few years, I’ve acquired the skills to build things on the web. One of them happens to be an online space for creating book clubs.

It’s called Booksprouts, and it’s designed so that people can create a book club, invite friends, create meetings, and discuss and review books online. Anyway, it’s all pretty new and we’re pretty excited to get it online. We’d really like to get some people to use it and let us know what they think about, and garner suggestions! It’s all pretty new so criticism and broken pieces noted would be really helpful.

Cheers and happy reading!

I asked a few guys that I knew and though the response would be lukewarm but it has been really good and something we all really look forward to each month.
