book clubs

Literary discussion groups

Book clubs are groups that meet regularly to discuss books they've read together.

Members typically read the same title, then gather to share reactions and interpretations.

Some book clubs focus on particular genres—mystery, romance, literary fiction.

The term also refers to mail-order services that sell books to subscribers, often at discounted prices: She joined a book club and gets a new novel every month.
