Picking a book is already an endeavor that will take time! However, Inkish Kingdoms curates its website for your entertainment! We only review books that we know for sure you will enjoy! So follow us on Goodreads to see what we are reading, and stay tuned (website and Twitter) to pick your next read from the best selection available!

Now, when we are picking books for book clubs, the process might get more complicated because you are selecting the books for a group of people and not just you. So you have to choose the best books that will try to please most of the participants and not just you, so check out these tips on how to decide your next book club novel!

#1 Think about the time and length!

In theory, if people are part of a book club, they like to read! But this is not 100% for everybody since some people might want to join to start developing the reading habit! 

Do not make it too long nor too short around 300 to 400 pages seems to be a reasonable length for a book (an audiobook of 400 pages might be around 9 hours). If your book club is only avid readers and fast readers, you can include 500 to 600 pages (Around 15 hours).

#2 Define the tone of the book club! 

What do you want to accomplish? or what do the participants want to accomplish? Do they want to have fun or educate themselves? Are they looking to develop their analytical skills or looking to awake social consciousness? 

Ask your party about their intentions with the book club. Once you know this, they could pick what they want to read. 

#3 Pick the genres!

If you know the intention of your party, then you can try to curate the books for them (or do as step 4 says).

If you need to some help finding your picks for your book club, check out our Book Club section for some ideas!

The Push by Ashley Audrain	We need to talk about Kevin by Lionel Shriver	Educated by Tara Westover	Two Boys Kissing by David Levithan
The House of The Spirits by Isabel Allende	Love in the Lime of Cholera by Gabriel Garcia Marquez	Where Things Come Back by John Corey Whaley	Every Day by david Levithan

#4 Selection process!

There are multiple ways to make the selection. You could:

1. Come up with a list of books and make them vote.
   1. You can even make it fun! YOu can make blind dates with the books, so they pick from your selections.
2. Ask them for suggestions on the themes, use their recommendations, and make them vote. (Democracy!)
   1. You can even use the list to set the order, so you read all the books recommended but one per month!
3. Pick the book and have it as the only option (not recommended unless you don’t know the people)

If you follow this list, you would be on track to having a successful book club! Do not get overwhelmed trying to do everything! You can even ask for help and delegate or do it as a group! 

Maybe those are good options to learn more about how to run a book club. What do you think?

I hope you enjoy this list! I have added some books that go around book clubs!
