How can I engage quiet members in my book club?

It's great that you want to include everyone! Have you tried asking open-ended questions during discussions?

What kind of open-ended questions should I ask?

You could ask questions like, 'What did you think about the main character's choices?' or 'How did the setting influence the story?' This encourages everyone to share their thoughts.

Should I consider changing the format of our meetings?

Absolutely! Sometimes a more relaxed format, like a casual coffee chat or themed discussions, can help quieter members feel more comfortable.

Any tips for creating a welcoming environment?

Yes! Make sure to create a space where everyone feels safe to share. You could also start with icebreakers to ease tension.
