Post #54 Exercise 2 - Implementing book club

I already have implemented a book club at the library and I use many of these sources every month to choose books and to lead the discussions. Reading Group Guides and Reading Group Choices have been extremely helpful. I also use Books to Movies site because we watch and discuss a movie about once a quarter. Reading Group Guides also has much helpful information on how to handle a book club, including ice breakers, questions to ask if you can't find discussion questions, how to deal with members who won't talk and those who talk too much.

One place to look for book titles is Reading Group Guides under the "Most requested guides" section. This will show you what other book clubs are are reading and what is popular. One of the books we chose for later this year is on the list: Sarah's Key by Tatiana de Rosnay.
