While face-to-face book groups have been around for while, and I'll hazard a guess that they will continue to be popular for a while to come, there's a growing online community for people who can't make it to a face-to-face book group.Since I haven't found a local book group that meets on a day/time that I can actually be there, I've decided to join an online book group.
The New Zealand Listener launched their book club in early March 2012 - read more about it here. There's podcasts, spoiler alerts, author interviews, a Twitter hashtag #nzlbookclub, and plenty of online discussion about each month's book. This is one group that I am really excited to be part of.
The first book chosen for discussion was Before I go to sleep by S J Watson. A intriguing read, with plenty of twists, which makes it an interesting book to talk about to others.
So would you join an online book group or does meeting up with people face-to-face work better for you? Or could you comfortably be book-y in both worlds?
