Book Clubs

Monday 18th August 2008

Do you like discussing books and recommending a good read to others? Join our free online book club and start to chat with like-minded people

It's so easy to join our Book Club. Follow these easy steps:

1) Sign up to the woman&home forum
You need to be a forum member to join in the discussion and share your opinions and reviews with other like-minded people. It's free to use and easy to join. Here's how to sign up to our free forum.

2) Join in the forum discussion
You'll find a friendly bunch of people swapping opinions about a whole host of books in the book club forum. You can add your comments to an existing thread (list of messages) or start a new one about another book.

3) Find book clubs in your area
Alongside the discussions on the Book Club forum, you can find people in your area to meet up with.

If there isn't a book group nearby already, why not start one up yourself? It's simple - just post a message with your location in the subject line and ask others to join you. Then you can make your arrangements via private message - don't give out your personal details in the public forum.

Want to set up a book club? Follow these tips from Lara, a woman&home book club member:
- Invite lots of people as some probably won't turn up!
- Meet in a café on your first meeting: it's more social and takes the pressure off anyone to 'host'.
- Don't be rigid in with your agenda – they never work out! You just have to let the meeting flow.
- Try to be relaxed and don't expect too much.

Good luck!

Each month, one book reviewer will win all of the books featured on the books page of woman&home magazine. Get writing!
