Is there any book clubs that are not pay by credit card?
I just heard about paperbackswap.com. You only pay for books that someone else wants from you, it is not a book club because they want you to list books to swap but it can get you some books for no cost.
What is a good food related fiction book for a book club?
Our theme is "Hungry for More" and we plan to read one cook book and one fiction book. Thing is, we can't think of any fiction book that is really good and has to do with food. Any recommendations?What is a good food related fiction book for a book club?
Bread alone by Judith R. Hendricks.
The Truth About Forever by Sara Dessen would be good. It's a love story, but she meets the people because they run a catering business, and food is in the book a lot.What is a good food related fiction book for a book club?
'Chocolat' by Joanne Harris is an excellent fiction book about food.
Try Kitchen Confidential by Anthony Bourdain. It's not fiction but it reads like it. A hoot and a half plus you actually learn things about cooking and restaurants and will give you guys something to talk about for sure.

The Shape of Water by Andrea Camilleri is one of a series of detective books set in Italy centering around cynical Inspector Salvo Montalbano who approaches solving crimes by way of humor and a good meal.

Help on what to do during a twilight book club?
i am starting a book club for my friends and its all twilight. i need ideas on what to do. like obviously we read the book and discuss it but i also need fun activites involving the book. mabe like a game or somthing? so much help appreciated!Help on what to do during a twilight book club?
Make up situations, then play "What would Edward do?" in the situation. Maybe make up two sets of cards, one with the situations and one with each of the characters. So you draw a situation card and a character card and say what that character would do in that situation.
Read parts of the book aloud. Each person take a character in the scene, and someone read the narrative parts.
Well...
My twilight club always has debates on who is better for Bella- Jacob or Edward.
I think that your club should just make as many puzzles and games as possible and you are sure to have a great time. My club also has ideas of character dress-up. We each have a "twilight name" where we are each a character from the book, and whenever we are in the club meeting we adress eachother by that name. Those are just a few fun tips to make you Twilight club more exciting.Help on what to do during a twilight book club?
You could do trivia and quizzes and like compete with a Team Edward and a Team Jacob. Also you could do something for Halloween (costumes maybe). Character discussions would be cool. You could spend a day making Twilight Club t-shirts and designate a day to wear them. The possibilities are endless. Hope you have fun!!
role playing could be cool (i have yet to find fans as dedicated as i am to do so, but i did a bit with a friend in history class and it was cool)
also get into the wars with team edward/jacob and see who can list the most reasons why their team pwnsHelp on what to do during a twilight book club?
Me and my friends have a Twilight club too! We don't have any specific activites, but this halloween, each of us are going as a character from twilight, that might be something fun you guys could do!
Goodluck!
maybe do like twilight quizzes
or get people to pick their favorite character and name 10 reasons why they love them and then pick their least favorite and pick 10 reasons why they dont like them!
idk but good idea with book club! it sound fun :)

What advice would you give me on starting a book club?
I love to read and I think a book club would be fun!!!! I started one tell me how to improve. Check it out at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/watsourflavaWhat advice would you give me on starting a book club?
I'm not getting it, either, so I don't know what you have for it. The only thing I can suggest is to let people know what kind of books you'll be reading so they know what to expect. Also, look at book groups that have been around for a while and see how other moderators have attracted attention.What advice would you give me on starting a book club?
Well the book club doesnt show.make a nice book like twilight

Anyone interested in joining a book club and making new friends?
I am a mother of 4 my social life is reading and i would like to start a book club.Anyone interested in joining a book club and making new friends?
A wonderful idea. Books are a great source of escapism from the reality of looking after four kids! I am a father of three kids, one of whom is disabled, so we are kept very busy. A book club would be great to both discuss the books we have read as well as the stories we have to tell about our children!
If you start one email me, I would be interested.
where would it be if you'll have one?
what sort of books will you be reading?
Can it be a book-on-tape club? Thats the only way I get any "reading" done with my 2 babies!Anyone interested in joining a book club and making new friends?
I have time to join one if it is online are you starting one in yahoo groups or geocities or in person?
Not I.
Hook me up!
Sounds fun! I just have two questions...where's it at? and how do you have time to read and start a book club with four kids?
For sure!xenon the pillars of the earth

Sorry for correcting your first question. It's a bad habit of mine. I majored in English and sometimes I get carried away. I also make mistakes.

Book Clubs/Book Discussions online?!?
Do you know where I can find a decent book discussion message board or group online!?Book Clubs/Book Discussions online?!?
http://www.bookclub.com
Here the deal is getting good deals for purchasing books; I see nothing among the very many 'clubs' that mention discussing the books online.
http://www.bookdiscussion.com
This is a gimmick, really, but at least people discuss books, on the radio as guests or as callers. You may want to read their brief homepage.
http://www.readerscircle.org
Not a gimmick and not a 'sell,' but though I didn't hit the FAQs as I should have (suggest you do; it's in tiny print at the bottom), it seems this group organizes and helps organize book clubs for the discussion of written material all over several countries. It only mentions 'phone chats' and regular book discussion clubs though, that I saw... not online.
I kept at it for a while, trying to make links to what you request, and so far can't do it. I will hope someone already in such a group will chime in with a better answer. (Don't worry about the links above; my computer tells me immediately if anything is wrong with a link.)
ADD: http://www.LibraryThing.com
Since this site mentions membership, I think it isn't free, but it may be. Try it out, and thumbs up for the answer with this link.Book Clubs/Book Discussions online?!?
Try goodreads.comBook Clubs/Book Discussions online?!?
Check out LibraryThing.com. It has many many book discussions going on at any given time. It's a terrific site in other ways as well.
