New friends: joining a book club, is a perfect opportunity for you to meet and mix up with new people from all walks of life and ages. More so, when they are like-minded individuals. You know… they’ll actually ‘get it’. Your craze for books, that is.    

Development: if you’re a writer aiming to hone your art, joining a book club will aid your development. How? A good writer is first an excellent reader! Plus, you get to improve your vocabulary, spice up your literary life and learn new things. 💯

Book Discussions: honestly, there is some book that picks up to read and they just don’t make sense at first. Well, book club to the rescue! By the time you come together to discuss certain books chapter by chapter, you’ll feel much better and hey, learn one or two awesome things.

Commitment: no, I don’t mean marriage/relationship. Whether you like reading or not, I’m sure you’ve got lots of things going on to keep you really busy. So busy that you find yourself not reading a book in mooonths! Well, joining a book club will ensure that you’re consistent with and committed to your first love-books/reading. 😉

Fun: meeting new people with like minds, doing what you love, discussing, having something/somewhere to look forward to, away from ‘work’ and the distractions of the internet for a while (if there’ll be physical meetings) is FUN. Trust me ☺

Exploring: left to you and I, there are some books we would never give second glances. But with a book club, you get to spread your tentacles and explore other genres and titles. And guess what? More often than not, we’ll come to love them! Haha. 

Motivation: if you STRUGGLE to read as little as two pages of a book in one month (no kidding, I know people who do), joining a book club will motivate you to keep reading. With time you’ll pick up a faster pace, and who knows? In a year, you can read 12 books!
