Start and Run a Book Club

Starting an online book club takes a name, a first book, a way to talk, and a rule for what happens next week. Organising one after that is a different problem: choosing the next title without a fight, keeping people reading when life gets loud, and deciding whether you meet on a call or talk as you go. The pages here walk through founding, organising, picking the next book, and keeping a club alive — including how a circle works inside House of a Reader, which is free and private by default.
