"Hi I'm Laura from youngwritersworkshops.com and I'm going to talk about how to find a free on line book club and there are actually a lot of on line book clubs out there and most of them are free so I guess the trick is finding the right one for you which might determine what kind of books you like to read, what level of interaction you are looking for and to think about if you would rather do a group that involves e-mails and getting a lot of e-mails or going to a board that is on line and just reading the posts on the site. Some of the places might be yahoo groups which is groups.yahoo.com. You're going to find a million groups there and there might be specialized groups that are about certain genre of literature that you are really interested in and you might also go to the Barnes and Noble site and they have a site specifically about their book clubs and you can join any number of clubs directly through that site. Now another thing to think about is if there is a specific author that you are really interested in reading a lot of their books they may actually have a book site of book clubs from the author's site so those are some things to think about when you are looking for an on line book club. Using a search engine like Google you could find a good resource or a few good sites that actually compile a variety of sites on one page or you could go to yahoo groups or Google groups and use their searches to find a group that will work for you. So do a little bit of research, look around, and I'm sure that you will find a good free on line book club."
