Hi Karen – I would say it’s a mix. Some members brought Kindles to book club meetings, while many others had a paperback copy. And some women purchased additional books at book clubs too (asked me to sign for birthday and Mother’s Day gifts).

If you’re having trouble reaching book clubs, I’d recommend contacting your local library and finding out about doing a community book club event there. Oftentimes libraries have a better reach to avid readers.

Hope this helps!
best,

Thanks, glad you liked it. I would say it’s best to find book clubs on a grass roots level. First, send out a post on your social media telling friends and family that you’re starting to visit book clubs. Ask them to spread the word. Second, I’d visit your local library and put a flyer on the community bulletin board (I use Canva.com for polished-looking flyers). And you can also post something on your author web page announcing you’re available for personal and Skype book club visits. Hope this helps!

Hi Kim – Love that you’ve created a long-standing book club of like minded women! And yes, it can be a powerful thing to gather on a regular basis like that. I love how you say your group makes you feel “great and grounded.” Everyone would be lucky to be a part of something so special. Would love to visit, maybe when my next book releases! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks, Lauren. Glad you liked it. You must have a new book coming out! Book clubs and online book tours are a great way to go. That trend is definitely growing. 🙂
