I’ve been trying to think of ways to expand my social life and I’ve seen some posts online promoting local book clubs.

I’m tempted to check them out but I actually have no idea what to expect since I’ve never heard anything about them other than them being mentioned in sitcoms and stuff.

Has anyone here attended a book club before? What was it like? What do you even do at a book club?

    I’ve been in the same book group for 18 years now (just did the maths and realised how old we all are!). We meet up at one another’s houses in turn and have snacks and wine. One person chooses the book and researches the author and does a little presentation and then we all discuss it. Afterwards, we chat - and we have one meet up a year which is just social with no books! We all have different taste and there’s never an absolute consensus (except with one or two that everyone hated). It’s interesting
