Book Clubs???

Do you belong to a book club????

I always thought doing one would be so so fun!! I love to read and if I found the right group of people to read the kind of books I like to read, it could be really great. But these days, my time for reading is really unpredictable...some days I can read a lot, others not at all. And now that I do Zumba for cardio instead of the elliptical and crossramp at the gym, I lost my reading time there. I'm not sure if I could read a book within the time requirement. A once a month club though...I could probably handle that.

But on the downside, I'm not sure I could read much else aside from the book club books. And I have a lot of books I want to read..and what if the book club did not want to read them??? I have friends who are authors and I want to read their books. I'm sure I could add the books to the idea pile for the book club. But who knows how long it would take to get to my picks. And what if they want to read a genre I really don't like? I'm really not into vampire type stuff and it would be a real chore for me to get through it. I know...."have an open mind" and I do...but I also know what I like and I've tried certain genres before and they're just not my thing.

I am on Goodreads and I thoroughly enjoy it. I rarely read book reviews there before reading a book....I hate the spoilers. But I love reading other people's thoughts after I read the book...and replying to the comments made. It's sorta like being in a book club...but with a lot more people.

So, tell me about your book club. Pros, cons...do you enjoy it???
