WHAT OUR BOOK CLUBS SAY

We used the discussion questions for the first time and the meeting ran two hours over because nobody wanted to stop. That had never happened before.

Book club host, London

We had spent years arguing about what to read next. The voting feature solved it in one click. Three nominations, one vote, everyone moves on.

Book club member, Edinburgh

We ran a themed author night — Toni Morrison, jazz playlist, soul food. Kapitel gave us the idea and the questions. It was our best meeting ever.

Book club host, Dublin

My book club has become the thing I look forward to most every month. Better preparation means better discussions — and we actually talk about the book now.

5 ideas for your next book club meeting

Not all meetings are the same. The best ones share something special.

01

Themed meeting

Build the whole evening around the book's setting or era. Reading a novel set in 1920s Paris? Serve French food, play jazz, dress the part. The book becomes the world you step into for an evening.

Blind date with a book

Each member wraps their favourite book and brings it. Swap anonymously. Read before the next meeting, then reveal who brought what and why. Works brilliantly for choosing your next read.

03

Author deep-dive

Instead of one book, spend a month with one author. Read two or three of their works, compare voice and themes across them. You leave knowing an author deeply instead of just having read a book.

04

Discussion game

Start the meeting with a question on a card instead of an open floor. Each person must answer before anyone can respond. Silence is not allowed. The structure unlocks people who never speak first.

05

Reading challenge

Set a shared reading challenge for the month: a book translated from another language, a debut novel, a book someone hated the cover of. The constraint makes the choice easier and the discussion richer.

Questions about book club ideas

Author spotlight, decade challenge, translated fiction month, blind date with a book, or genre deep-dive—any constraint that makes the choice feel intentional. The theme frames the discussion and gives members a fresh angle on the book.
