Things I know that people do in book groups, especially SF/F book groups, and that we might also do if anyone is interested.

• Visit used bookstores together. This is fun. The point is not to find the book stores, the point is to show eachother the good books we find and recommend them, or say everything we think about the bad ones. Very inspiring. You find things you would never have seen if you were there on your own.
• Book dinner. Cook together, and talk about books (and everything else) over food.
• Pub meetings. Meet at a bar, just to be social.
• Invite a speaker, or an author to do a reading and signing. Perhaps together with a book store or a library.
• Book auction, to raise money for a charity or a fan fund. Can be a way to reach out to new people and be visible, if we want to attract new members. And fun: we get to advertise the books we like! (The problem is to get book donations that are really good things that we want to sell…)
• Go to a convention together.
• Anything! We have no leader, anyone can have ideas, and then it only takes a bit of energy to make them real.

Remember: our next meeting is July 8, 7pm (note the time, there has been some confusion about that).
