If you’re not yet a member of a book club, find a book club.
1. Booze it up.
Sometimes a vodka martini can make all the difference.
2. Add food.
Because fed members tend to be happy members.
3. Read the book, then watch the movie.

5. Dress up as your favorite literary characters.
Because Halloween only happens once a year.
6. Include a giveaway.
Because it’s fun to give and get free stuff. For ideas, see these bookish gifts and book-themed gift ideas.
7. Go outside.
For all you know other club members think your house smells like tuna. When the weather is nice, head outside.
8. Take turns reading favorite or funny passages out loud.
Note: Works particularly well when reading Shakespeare.
9. Invite some guys!
Book clubs tend to be female-dominated affairs. But boys read books too! Find and invite them to join your club.
10. Put down the book.
Of course you’re there to read and discuss books, but sometimes it’s OK to put down the book and talk about other things.
