[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Depends upon the interests of your club…
- Do people like to read “hot” books or classics or mix it up?
- Is there a strong preference for audio vs physical/eBook? [my group is heavy audio, so I check that my suggestions have good audio versions so people have a better experience]
- Are people ok to buy, or strongly prefer the library? [if library, check availability/don’t only focus on releases from last 12 months]
- How consistent are attendees? Are people able to commit to a 3-6 month theme or arc, or prefer to drop-in when they can?

I love the idea of smaller themes…there are so maybe you could choose! 
- Nautical (Moby Dick, Endurance, A Marriage at Sea)
- Jaw-dropping NF
- Science-based NF
- Jane Austen vs Jane Eyre vs Jane Seymour (Haunted Queen) [or another 1800s famous Jane?]
- Evelina (Burney) vs Emma (Austen) vs Eloise (Quinn) vs Undine (Wharton)
- Tear-jerkers (would be interesting to have people nominate…the Correspondent? Hamnet? The Wave? Wild Dark Shore? Marley & Me?)
- Several set in the same country/location (Paris, Provence, British countryside, Moscow, Australia, Scandinavia, Mexico…)
- Booker / Pulitzer Prize second acts (work that follows a win)
- Book title that starts with the last letter of the last title you read (might be focused on a lot of vowels, but who knows?)[/quote]

Great ideas, ty [/quote]
