There are so many ways a bookclub can go about their business and we've found out that our way works great for us. In fact, I can't even imagine doing things any other way!

Some bookclubs have all members bring in a different book each time they meet and then everyone votes for one. Some clubs have a pool of books that they choose from and everyone reads a different book....what's up with that?? (Those groups must obviously just want to get together to eat and drink! Hey, but...wait a minute...that sounds like us!) Anyway, getting back to business, here's our process:

• The person who is having the next get-together brings four books of their choice to the current meeting.

• After discussing the book that was just read, the next set of books is introduced to the group.

• The books are passed around so everyone can have a look-see-feel of them. (Katie's big into the fonts and the feel of the pages!)

• Then, we vote. Majority rules. That's it and the group's decision is final. (Luckily, we've never had a tie....not sure how we'd handle that yet.)

• We then purchase the book and read away....until the cycle begins again.
