Book Club Help

Have you ever wanted to start a book club but you had no idea where to start or even what to ask? I found a website that is pretty amazing when it comes to book clubs, https://www.bookish.com

They also have different genres for you to pick from:

If you are still unsure of some questions to here are some examples:

  • "What was your initial reaction to the book? Did it hook you immediately, or take some time to get into?"
  • "Do you think the story was plot-based or character-driven?"
  • "What was your favorite quote/passage?"
  • "What made the setting unique or important? Could the story have taken place anywhere?"
  • "Did you pick out any themes throughout the book?"
  • "How credible/believable did you find the narrator to be? Did you feel like you got the 'true' story?"
  • "How did the characters change throughout the story? How did your opinion of them change?"
  • "How did the structure of the book affect the story?"
  • "Which character did you relate to the most, and what was it about them that you connected with?"
