October is National Reading Group Month, according to a declaration from The National Women’s Book Association. The official website has a list of events and activities that will take place in many US cities, including author readings, lectures and workshops. In a few weeks, the organization will post a list of Great Group Reads.

We’d like to celebrate here at Books on the Nightstand, too. If you are a member of a book group, please send us a short (100-250 words) write up about your book club that we can post on the blog in October. You may of course consult with your fellow reading group members.

Please tell us the following information:

• The name of your book group and general location (city or state is fine if you want to preserve your privacy).
• How often and where you meet (in someone’s home, at a library, coffee shop, etc.)
• How your book group got started
• What kinds of books you usually read?
• Which book generated the best discussion?
• Any back story or other information that may be of interest to Books on the Nightstand readers.
• If you  have a photo you’d like to share, please attach a jpeg (and be sure to get the permission of anyone who is in the photo).

Email your reading group profile to comments@booksonthenightstand.com, and please put “book group spotlight” in the subject line of the email.

We can’t wait to hear about your book clubs!
