A few days ago, I was interviewed by Washington Post columnist Jura Koncius for an article titled How to host a better book club, in which she shares suggestions from various experts on how to keep the sparkle alive in a book group. One of the ideas I discussed with her is the value of carving out time at least once a year to talk as a group about the book club itself, to make sure that everyone is on the same page about what they want from the group. You can read all about this process in our blog, and download a one page summary: The Book Club Health Check

This month, we highlight books from the Indian subcontinent (which consists of Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and the Maldives.) Reading something set in another part of the world can be both informative and fun, offering you the opportunity to learn new things about unfamiliar places and cultures. And, in the case of these books, you can also feel confident they will be good choices for your book club. We have discussion guides for all but one; and all are also available in paperback, or will be soon.
