Of course, the most important part is choosing the right book for your crew. Then, you’ll need to name a time and place to meet. (Just be sure you give everyone enough time to finish the book!) When it’s your turn to host, make our easy appetizer and drink recipes and prepare a few talking points for the group before your guests arrive. Whether you chat about the book over appetizers, drinks, or brunch, we’re sharing our best hosting tips for making your book club a success.
How to Host a Book Club
Another easy hosting hack is to declare it a potluck! Provide the main dish and the drinks (if you’re hosting a crowd, pitcher cocktails are easier to whip up than individual drinks) and ask each person to bring a side or appetizer. Of course, you can take your book club gathering up a notch by assigning a theme. Consider something that fits your book. If you’re reading a historical fiction set in Paris, serve champagne and French-inspired appetizers. Flipping through a beach read? Tropical drinks and finger foods it is! If you want a mix of genres, follow along with a monthly reading list like Reese’s Book Club or Oprah’s Book Club.
