hen you hear the term “book club,” you may or may not think of a group of ladies in 1950s-esq clothing sitting around pretending to care about the book, but really just drinking wine and gossiping. This isn't completely inaccurate, however actually being a part of a book club can be great for you and your brain!

It holds you responsible. Being a member of a group and having a deadline will push you to not only complete your task (chapters 3-6) but also creates something to hold you accountable. This group is counting on your presence. Who else is going to lead the chapter four discussion if you just don't show up? This is good for you because it forces you to flex your responsible muscle, which is an important tool to have a handle on.
It keeps your mind active. Being in a book club means you’ll probably be reading that book every day at some point. So even if you have a job that doesn’t require a lot of brain power every day, you’ll still be getting some kind of stimulation and maybe even learning something, depending on the book!
It’s guaranteed girl time. Whether you’re a very busy bee or just tend to be introverted, being in a book club will guarantee that you get some socialization, whether you feel like you want it or not.
Drinking wine, discussing a good book and maybe just a little bit of gossip are probably just what you need after a long week. So if you have a set plan every Friday night, you save yourself the planning and just have to show up!
It’s empowering. Depending on what you’re reading, book clubs can be very empowering! Reading a book with an inspiring and female-charged theme prompts conversation that often encompasses giving each other compliments and encouraging each other to go for your dreams. So much love and positivity!
