Virtual Book Clubbing is A-OKAY

New in town? Too hard to get the girls or your book club together for a discussion? Too much stress to gather at someones house? The act of sharing with others is an important one. We can usually find a way to do the things we really want to, but then again coordinating several folks for the same date is sometimes just too big of a challenge.

Be innovative.

FACEBOOK OR TWITTER:: Use your facebook account or twitter for a chat. If you use twitter, set up a hashtag like #WedNiteBookClub or something so everyone can find the conversation easily. Facebook is easy because you can post and then everyone can just pile on.

POSTCARDING:: Set up the book club right down to the "date", but rather than get together everyone in the club sends a postcard or card to each of the members with their thoughts. Good OLD FASHIONED mail ... it has a nice appeal.

YAHOO GROUPS:: You can always set up a yahoo group of your special friends. It's free and intuitive to use. You can even open it up to people you don't know.

SKYPE:: If your techno-savvy ... how about a skype meeting?

CONFERENCE CALL:: Did you know there are websites that offer free conference calls? Everyone will have to pay the long distance fee, but depending on your long distance terms ... that could be free, too. Try freeconferencecalls.com.

What's your solution?
I'd love to hear.
