Well, Litlovers makes those decisions a bit easier.

Litlovers is an online community dedicated to books and book clubs.

Here’s how they describe themselves:

"An online community dedicated to books and book clubs—because both enrich our lives. We've got great resources to enhance your book club experience. Whether you're selecting books, or thinking & talking about them, LitLovers is the place to come.What can you do on LitLovers? What can't you do! Find a book. Find a review. Find a discussion guide. Take a course. Whip up a recipe (to match your book, of course)! There's so much to do—and so much fun—you won't want to leave"

 

The site is divided into four main areas:

LitClub

LitCourse

LitShop

LitFun

 

and there is also an online forum, LitTalk, where you can discuss all things book related.  This is also a useful site to tell patrons about too-- especially the one who asks “How do I go about starting my own book club”?  Good information on how to discuss books, what books to pick.
