Book Club Planning
I was clearing off my desk and saw my list of books we are doing for book club starting back up in the fall. I was going to tack the list to my bulletin board, but then remembered what usually happens. I forget about the list until I see one of the book club members who asks me how I like the book. The book I haven’t gotten from the library yet. After running to the library or having to buy the book, I cram my reading into a few days usually finishing the book but not always.
So this time, I paused my desk clearing and typed into my Google Calendar the book club date, book and author for each book. If I am leading I add that.
Then I set the email reminder for 3 weeks beforehand. That way I can get the book from the library and leisurely read it.
I am looking forward to being more prepared and engaged this year. First book up, Calling Me Home by Julie Kibler.

Another option (at least in my library system) is to request the book, then change the request date so that you get each book at the appropriate time.
I set my request date for about a week before book club (we meet at the library), so I can pick up next month’s book on book club night. It takes a few days for the book to get to my library branch, and they will hold a book for 5 days before returning it.
I love this Kathy!!!
