What are some fun reading challenges for book clubs?

Here are a few ideas: 1) Read a book from a genre you usually avoid, 2) Choose a book published in the year you were born, 3) Read a book by an author from a different country.

Can you suggest a specific book for each challenge?

Sure! For the genre challenge, try 'The Night Circus' by Erin Morgenstern. For the year challenge, 'The Color Purple' by Alice Walker is a great choice. For the international author, consider 'The Alchemist' by Paulo Coelho.

How can we make the challenges more engaging?

You could add a theme night for each challenge, like a costume party based on the book, or host a potluck with dishes inspired by the story.

What if some members don't finish the books?

Encourage open discussions about the parts they did read, and consider having a 'catch-up' session where everyone shares their thoughts on the book.
