BOOK CLUB DYNAMICS
Have you ever been part of a book club where the discussion
felt more like a solo performance rather than a collaborative
interaction among your book club members?
Lack of engagement is a
major issue in book clubs
because it limits
discussions.
Issue
Solution 1
Picking more diverse book choices
According to Fournier (2024) this keeps the discussions interesting and encourages
individuals to get out of their reading comfort zones. He created a chart to show the
popularity of different genres in book clubs.
Solution 2
Introducing more creative formats for discussions
Interactive activities may offer a fun approach for members to express their viewpoints.
For instance, organizers might propose that participants create a character map, a letter to
the author, or a visual representation of their favorite section from the book. (Singh, 2023)
