More information on the book club
The person who selected the book is the moderator for the discussion group that month. We either meet at their residence or a location of their choice. They keep the conversation on track and ensure everybody's voice is heard.
We plan on doing a pot-luck style dinner and generally try to spend some time socializing and eating for an hour or so before beginning discussion.
We will try to choose books based on a theme- a certain genre, a certain type of author, a certain subject matter, ect. We stay on a theme until everyone in the group has been able to select a book within that theme.
We have just started Prize-winning authors.
Please let us know if there are any questions!
