Decide if you want your club to have a focus. Is it for guys and girls? Guys only? Girls only? Is it a fantasy book club? Only mysteries? Manga and graphic novels?
If you read a lot of different types of books make sure that you don't have books that appeal to just one group. It is very important to put some thought into what you pick. With the right selection of books, your reading group will likely enjoy months of interesting discussion.
You may also want to pick books that you can get discussion questions for. NoveList has book discussion questions that you can use.
Here are a few books that we've read for our teen book club:
Harry Potter 7
Squashed
Left For Dead
Dealing With Dragons
I also have an anime-manga club that meets monthly. At that club we view anime and discuss it and the manga related to it. We also do different types of activities related to the anime.

Any good ideas on how to run a book club?I have been to many book club discussions and I think the best source for information would be www.bookbrowse.com/bookclubs/. It gives great ideas and suggestions for how to keep things running and even some ideas on how to handle problems that might come up as well as popular books and discussion guides. Just remember to keep the group focused on the book and not personal issues and to let everyone have their say.
I would have a ton of books to choose from and i would have a vote on what book they want to read the one with the most votes wins! I would get ghost fever, Weedflower, Who stole Halloween? and any other books :) Hope this helps you :PAny good ideas on how to run a book club?
hi pratyusha,
think in order to run a book club, you should find out first how many students are interested. then teachers and other classmates can help you achieve at something. you should also gather a list of good books to read, and of different genres as well. you should put up a lot of fliers and advertise your club to everyone who are of the same grade level. make the club sound interesting, with book discussions, and contests like battle of the books. sharing your opinions can also help with public speaking. also create projects to do as well. read different types of stories. you should try to make reading sound fun and enjoyable. people like to read different kids of books, and your book club should let them. you might even be able to read to the younger children in your school, and do a book buddies program that is included in your book club. i think many kinds of activities and more will make a person interested. a key is to allways keep organized. each time keep a different kind of genre, or style. you can go by an author or something. then have a book talk and discussion. you can have a battle of the books contest, and the winning team might earn a prize. you should also ask your classmates on ideas too. you can use a book club, to spread messages about things you have learned. you can conduct book swaps. where during a weeks time people bring in any books from their houses in. and you lay them out on tables. and then one day everyone come and pick out however many books they donated. there are many things you can do. you just got to be different and have a variety of programs to do. doing the same thing all the time can be boring.just get creative, and make everything organized.
