42 Trending Book Club Businesses [2023]

A book club consists of several people who read and talk about the books based on the topic or an agreed reading list. Setting up your book club can be a great way to enjoy books and meet new people. More importantly, a book club is a well-paying side hustle idea. Therefore, figure out who you invite to your book club and define the purpose. Do you want to learn something new, or do you just want to bond with other book lovers? Having a defined purpose helps you reach like-minded people to keep the book club close-knit.
