For only having led one or two book clubs in my life, I am pretty obsessed with providing lists for other people to have book clubs. These ideas seem to be doubling by the year, so I thought I would provide one list with links to all the book club idea blogs I have written (that I can remember, anyhow).
A Book Club Structured around The Storied Life of A. J. Fikry (slow-reading a novel with short stories)
A Book Club for Book Lovers Inspired by the book, Book Lovers
A Book Club Based on a New York Times Article About Authors and Their Favorite Poems (poems and books combined)
A Book Club to Read a Book a Week Through the Year
A Book Club Based on The Messy Lives of Book People
Book Clubs Based on Various Topics (Therapy for the Pandemic and Post-Pandemic; Things You Might Need in a Pandemic; For the New Year: A Better You; Social Issues; Modern Women Writers; World Voices; Classics; Popular Historical Fiction; Victorian Literature; Around the World; Through Time; Time Travel; and Magic Realism)
