Starting a book club is easy--- all you need is to love reading. Here’s how to get yours off to a flying start.

When you set up your club, the first thing is to get members for your club. They could be friends, family or those you know through kinds of activities, but they should all love to read. A small group of seven to ten people is usually an ideal size for a book club. Too many people make the discussions difficult.

Once you have a group, agree on how often you want to meet-----usually club members meet monthly. Pick a date and stick with it. That way, members can plan for it. Send out emails a week before the meeting to remind(提醒) them of the meeting time. Set meeting time length. An hour is a good start. Two hours usually does the trick.

Then, you need a good place. Libraries, parks and restaurants--- all the public(公共的) places make good meeting places. For many clubs, meeting at home works best because you don’t have to get dressed up, and homes are quiet. If members bring a plate of food or a bottle, it can help start conversation（谈话）

Please don’t forget the most important thing--- the book! Think about the books your club will enjoy. Your club can decide on books in different ways. Anyway, make sure to keep it light and fun.

After you decide all this, your book club is ready. Now, it’s time to hold the first meeting. Enjoy your reading.
