Appreciation post: Our club spent $75 on fancy discussion guides for a novel nobody finished
We picked a dense historical fiction book and bought these premium online packets, but only two people actually read past chapter three. The money basically went into a hole because you can't debate a book you didn't read. Has your group ever had a total flop pick that killed the budget?

That's such a classic book club move. Maybe next time just pick a shorter book and use free questions from a blog, save the fancy stuff for a sure thing.

Last year my club read a 200 page thriller and I prepped 10 discussion points from a podcast episode. @olivia_barnes97, having those specific character questions ready kept the chat from stalling when the book was just okay. We spent a solid 20 minutes debating the unreliable narrator because one question really clicked.
