I have been trying to find a book club for quite some time that would suit me.  Most of the ones I have looked into or briefly been a part of haven’t included much variety in their selections.  It seems to me that many book clubs focus on chick lit far more than any other genre.  I am not knocking chick lit, I am ok with reading books outside my main interest.  I just don’t want it to be all the books I read.

In comes Goodreads and the user group Reading with Style.  It’s like a game.  A GAME OF BOOKS!  There are task set for points.  The group does the challenge seasonally, so you have three months to read up and tally up points on however many books you want to read during that time frame.  

What I think is interesting (translate as OMG this is going to be so much fun) is that in the process of finding books that fit the different task and styles (the styles are the bonus points) you are being exposed to different genres and types of books.  You can strategize to read books that will earn you more points.  I cannot thank the organizers of this group enough for making a “book club” just for me that is crazy organized and competitive.
