Reader Stories: Ideas for a Successful Book Club from Longtime Book Club Members

Book clubs are a great way for readers to make friends and read new books. There are some book clubs that have been meeting for years, while others fizzle after a few meetings. What's the difference? If you are a member of a book club that is going well, share your experience and ideas. What keeps people coming back to your book club? How do you choose books? What's your favorite part of being in a book club? Share your story, and hopefully it will inspire other book clubs to flourish as well.
