There is nothing better than diving into a new book. However, it can be a pretty solitary activity. We’ve all had that moment when we’ve loved a book so much we just want to discuss it with others, so why not start a book club? From discovering books to learning new things, book clubs are a great social activity. Not sure how to set one up? Don’t worry, we’ll guide you through the process of starting your own book club and explore some of the benefits of doing so.
Make new friends
One of the most significant benefits of starting your own book club is the opportunity to meet new people and make friends. Plus talking about books can be a great icebreaker – no awkwardness here. By discussing books and sharing your thoughts and opinions, you can create a sense of community and belonging.
Learn something new
Book clubs can also be a valuable educational tool. Reading books can expose you to new ideas, perspectives, and cultures that you may not have encountered otherwise. Discussing these books with others can help you deepen your understanding of the material and broaden your horizons.
Discover your new favorite books
One of the main reasons people start book clubs is to discover new books. By reading books recommended by others in the group, you can expand your reading list and explore genres you may not have considered before. Book clubs can also introduce you to new authors and help you discover books you might not have found on your own. Why not head to the ASKWHO art group for some interesting recommendations to get you started?
Regular Meet-Ups
Book clubs typically meet regularly, such as once a month. It’s a great way to get out and about, whilst giving you plenty of time to read your book. Meeting up at each other’s house is always fun or heading to a local café and grabbing a latte at the same time. Make sure to head to ASKWHO – we know the foodies group will have some great coffee spots in mind.
Share Your Book Club on ASKWHO
Once you’ve started your book club, you can share it with others on ASKWHO, the knowledge group in particular would be a great place to start. You’ll be bringing together like-minded people to make real connections! So whether you’re looking to make new friends, expand your reading list, or deepen your understanding of the world around you, a book club can help you achieve your goals. So why not start your own book club today and see where the journey takes you?
