There are thousands of book clubs all over the country that get together on a weekly or monthly basis to discuss and share their thoughts on particular novels or books that the group collectively chooses to read. Some book clubs may chose to focus on a certain genre, such as romance or horror, while others may focus on the works of a particular author or on a series. One of the main reasons why book clubs are so popular, is that they also serve as a social networking opportunity. A chance for like-minded people to get together and get to know each other. Book clubs are a great way to meet new people and make new friends who share common interests.
