How to Lead a Book Group

I'm Jeanna Rock, and we're discussing how to lead a book group. When you're deciding where you're going to meet, sometimes the book will lend itself to a location. Think about places that might relate to your book that you could meet. Also think about food. If you're serving refreshments at your book discussion, think about food that might relate to the book as well. When our group read Amy Tan's Joy Luck Club, we had Chinese food that night. And that really helped us get into the feeling of the book. Also, another thing that we did was we did some community service for a particular cause that one of our books was about. We read Three Cups of Tea, and so we did a money tree and we raised some money to send back to that organization in Afghanistan, and that really made the reading experience for us much more personal, especially since we felt like we needed to do something to help that organization. So think about other ways, interesting creative ways and places that you can bring into your discussion of the book, and that'll make it a lot more fun for everyone.
