Starting a book club is easy﹣all you need is to love reading．Here's how to get yours off to a flying start．
When you set up your book club，the first thing is to get members for your club．They could be friends，family，or those you know through various activities，but they should all love to read．A small group of seven to ten people is usually an ideal size for a book club．Too many make
discussions difficult．
Once you have a group，agree on how often you want to meet﹣usually clubs meet monthly．
Pick a date and stick with it．That way，members can easily plan for it．Send out emails a week
before the meeting to give people a written reminder．Set meeting time length．An hour is a good
start．Two hours usually does the trick．
Then，you need a good place．Libraries，parks and restaurants﹣all make good meeting
places．For many clubs，homes are the best place as you don't have to get dressed up，and noisy
public places can make talking hard．If members bring a plate of food or a bottle，it can help start
conversation．
Please don't forget the most important thing﹣the book!Think about the books your club
will enjoy．Fiction？Non﹣fiction？Your club can choose books in different ways．You can take
turns to recommend books．Let everyone vote upon what book to read．Anyway，make sure to
keep it light and fun．
After all this has been decided，your book club is ready．Now，it's time to hold the first
meeting．Enjoy your reading．
