Some book clubs are mainly meant to be fun and relaxed. The book is discussed, but the literary discussion may not be very serious and in-depth. Other books clubs are more serious and highly academic. Choose what type of book club you'd like to have. An academic book club would be more focused on aspects about the book such as meaning, plot, and character. A social book club would talk about the story and feelings about the story, but it wouldn't be a problem if conversation got carried away from the book. You can focus on one literary genre, such as adult fiction, romance, or horror. Or, you can choose to read books from a variety of genres. Typically, however, it is a good idea to not mix genres too much so that the members will join knowing that they will be reading books they enjoy. Book clubs are typically held at meeting points, like homes, bookstores, or the local library. The meetings can change location every so often, but it is usually easier to keep them at one or a few regular locations. Contact the location to inquire about holding your book club there, or ask potential members if they could commit to hosting a club every so often. If a physical meeting point isn't an option, you can also have an online book club. An online book club can be held on a chat room, social media application, or even through group video chats. An online meeting point is also a good option because it allows people from all over the world to join the club. If the meeting will be held at a physical location, consider how large or small you'd want your club to be. 8 to 16 members is a good number because it is not overwhelmingly large, but there will still be enough people for a meeting if a few members don't show up.
