1. Book Clubs are among the most amazing places on earth. They are wells of intelligence, knowledge, and insights that are found in few other places. Book clubs are safe havens of camaraderie, shared viewpoints, and a place where iron truly sharpens iron.
2. Book Club members are among the most amazing people on earth. They are avid readers of topics from a broad spectrum of books. They are creative, intuitive, discerning, and friendly. Book club members are just plain fun to be with.
3. Book Clubs inspire us to read more critically and thoughtfully and to stretch our reading choices into areas which we may never have explored on our own. When we belong to a book club, we are introduced to books outside our normal reading genre. We discover new authors and new subject matter we may not have considered before. We also know that we will have to discuss what we have read, so we read more attentively.
4. Book Clubs hold us accountable to our fellow members by encouraging us to commit to reading. When we read on our own, we may not finish a book or we may read it over months, or even years. But when we belong to a book club, we become more intentional about our reading and our reading schedule. Why? Because we have our fellow members to consider.
5. Book Clubs help us develop long-lasting friendships. This is one of my favorite things about book clubs. When we read together and discuss books together, a special bond is forged that knits not only minds but also hearts.
I could list many more reasons for which I love Book Clubs. These are just a few.
How about you? Do you belong to a Book Club? Please tell us in the comment box below. If not belong to a Book Clu b, consider joining one.
By the way, I love to visit Book Clubs via Zoom. When I visit, I usually offer a giveaway of one of my novels. So, if you are looking for an author to speak at your Book Club, please contact me at maryann@maryanndiorio.com. I would be happy to send you details.
Blessings,
MaryAnn
