5 Steps to a Holiday Book Club

5 steps to a holiday book club on Book Club Blogger

Get your holiday book club party started today!

Are you ready to start planning one of the best book clubs of the year? It's super easy with these five steps that will get your reading group into the holiday book spirit. For more ideas and seasonal novels see Holiday Book Club on Go Beyond 


Step 1
​The Honor of Hosting

Hosting this book party may come across as a daunting task but it doesn't have to be that way.  Whoever decides to step up to host will only have to do three things. Supply the main dish, send out the Evite and offer up their home which will already be in decoration mode for the upcoming holidays   

Step 2
​ Date and Time

The host will decide which day works for them and will choose a date that will work for the most of the group. Tip - early December is a good time to have your book party before the hectic holiday activities begin

Step 3  
​Holiday Reading

It's that one special time of the year to choose a novel that is filled with warmth and holiday spirit.  Your book friends will want and should read a novel that is not too long and heavy on the content. Highly recommended past reads that are all about Christmas or with seasonal scenes: Daddy Long Legs, A Redbird Christmas and of course the tried and true classic A Christmas Carol.  More seasonal choices on Holiday Book Club

Step 4
​Plan your festivities

The the gift exchange game is perfect entertainment for your book party. As long as you keep it inexpensive and monetary pressure free.  Before the gift exchange you can warm up with another fun game, the book exchange. Gift wrap a new or gently used book (must be a novel that you would recommend) and play the game like the gift exchange for more info click on holiday book club ideas  

Step 5
​New year - new books

At the end of your celebration it's time to pick the next book for the new year. Remind everyone to come to with fresh book titles to decide on or try these fun traditions come every January:
  • Choose a novel from the same author that you all love, (make sure the author has written several books so you have plenty to choose from)
  • Read a winter theme novel: Jane Eyre, The Book Thief, Dr. Zhivago and The Distant Hours
  • Start the new year with a biography! Reading about amazing people with amazing lives - a book club recommendation, Upstairs at the White House: My Life with the First Ladies and Unbroken

Merry Christmas book friends &
​Happy Reading New Year!
