Hey, reaching out to you here, as it your blog it says your company runs a monthly book club. Could you share some info how is it run? Do you collectively decide on the next book, meet in person or discuss it? Is the meeting heavily moderated or more informal over drink?
I'm asking because I want to organize something similar in my work :)
Thanks a lot! |

First, we're a fully remote team, so all meetings are virtual. Super informal, fun and casual.
We all put it suggestions for what we want to read then we let a random wheel decide for us. Nobody is forced to read anything they don't want though! We sometimes try to alternate fiction and non-fiction.
We normally give ourselves a month to read it. Some of our team have dyslexia, so they prefer listening to it.
If everyone's finished it, we meet up and talk about the book. If someone hasn't, we delay the next meeting to allow them to finish it. At the end of the chat we ask everyone if they would recommend the book or not (we wanted to avoid "rating" the books out of X)
That's it basically.
