Word-of-mouth, including through book clubs, is such an important way for readers to discover books, so I am very excited that my guest today on CREATIVE. INSPIRED. HAPPY is Mackenzie Newcomb, founder of the Bad B***h Book Club, which has 32,000 members.
Today, we talk about:
* what makes a great book club book? Aka what kind of books are more likely to be chosen for a book club?
* readers' surprising pet peeves about characters
* what makes an unlikeable character, likeable
* how authors can best connect with book club readers
* what makes a great book club meeting,
and so much more.
