Tips for Successful Book Club

1.  Choose a demographic!  If you are planning to read only "chicklit" don't try to make it a couples book club.

2.  Try to pick books that are under 400 pages.

3.  Be realistic with your schedule.

4.  Incorporate food (and drinks!!!)

5.  Allow for some hang-out time.
