I love to read. But even better than reading a book is discussing it with someone else!I'm launching a new book club here in Kingwood! It will be open to anyone and we will be reading a variety of topics and genres. I'm not limiting it to any specific book types, I want to cover all types of books. I'm in the early stages of the process, but I expect to launch the book club in the next 2 months. I'm looking for feedback from anyone interested in joining.What's the best day for you to meet and discuss the book? Weekend or Weekday night?Do you know of any venues to host? I'm considering a private meeting room, but it costs $150 per meeting.I'm 33, married, and employed. This isn't a group for dating, nor it be for selling things to members. It's for designed to be enjoyed by those who love to read.Please reply if you are interested in joining, I'm trying to find a core group of people that will help launch the bookclub. I will be updating this thread as plans are made so be sure and subscribe for updates. 4951

@Kindler: I'd be down to join, Weekday evening would be best for
me. As for venue you can request a party room at almost any restaurant
and as long as someone orders something, be it a beer or a full entree,
they will happily accommodate. If you want to send me any information once you get things going Drekonix@gmail.com is my email 4951

I am a book fanatic! I'll keep an eye on this thread. I have a toddler but can probably find someone (mother in law) to watch her for whenever this happens to be. 4951

How would you pick the books?I am reading about a book a day or two and would love discussing some of them.  I know that the library has rooms open to rent.  They also have a bookclub of their own but I don't think members choose the books. 4951

Thanks to everyone who has shown support for the book club. Here's what I'm thinking:I will formalize the book club group at Meetup.com (link soon)Meetup.com will have all of the details on books, times, dates, ect.Meetings could be on the last Saturday of each month, 2pm at Kingwood Library (I'd like some feedback on this).That's all I have right now. Thanks for all the encouragement, I've been wanting to do this for a while. 4951

@Okiedokie:I will pick the first book or two just to get us started and then from there I want to let the group control the books. I'm thinking we could have a vote on the book the month or two before. The vote would be held online through Meetup.com or GoodReads.com. 4951

Here's an idea @kindler. Rather than using meetup.com, ask @drekonix or @kingwooddotcom if you can use this site. Maybe they can dedicate a page to it. Just an idea.  4951
