Ever wanted to start a book club? AoS contributor Nicole did, too. And so, she did. In this episode, she’s sharing the ins and outs of how she started it—how she picked the right people, how they decide which book to read next, how often they meet, and why the right food makes it even more fun.

Consider this your primer to start a club of your own. Pair this with episode 29 with Anne Bogel and her reading guide, and you’ll have what you need.
