There is 12 women who live in the same area, and each woman pick a book at the beginning of the year.
The chairwoman makes a list of the women and the books.
Then each woman hand over her book of choice to the next woman on the list (usually by putting it in their mailbox/letterbox).
Read the book.
Repeat every month, until each woman get her own book back!
Usually they have one meeting at the end of the year, to talk about all the books and just mingle. Their book club is mostly about getting to read new books, not so much about the discussion. The book club has been active for over 30 years!
This is very interesting. I can see this working for members who live fairly distant from one another, have moved out of town, or older members who don't like to drive. In theory, you could do this long distance and mail each other the book or just pass along the reading requirement and members have to find the book themselves (as so many listen or read on Kindle now). Then have one in person gathering or virtual meeting at the end.
