#265: How To Start A Book Club

Today we're gonna share the benefits of being a part of a local book club and creative ideas for starting your own. We get a lot of questions about how to make adult friends and hands down a book club is the best way to get started! At the end of the episode we're also sharing the hills we'd gladly die on.

Elsie - All year round moody book club

Emma - Host it and have a theme based on the book

What about ideas for gathering that don't involve reading?

  • crafting nights
  • pool moms

Listener Request: What hills will you die on?
