It's natural to feel a little nervous at your first book club. You don't need to prepare much.

Read as far as you got

It's fine if you haven't finished. Bring what you've read, a line you liked, or a question.

Take turns

Everyone shares their thoughts while the others listen. There are no right answers.

Have a coffee together

We usually finish over coffee, and that's often when we pick the next book.
