We read The Book Thief as a Book Club in April of this year. (If you have not read this book I would highly recommend it!)
On page 446, Liesel is reading from a notebook that was left for her. In the book there is a short story and in that story we learn about Word Shakers:
The BEST Word Shakers were the ones who understood the true power of words. They were the ones who could climb the highest. One such word shaker was a small skinny girl. She was renowned as the best word shaker because she knew how powerless a person could be WITHOUT words.
I love this story. And the answer for the best book club name I think would be Word Shakers.
(In fact… this has just given me an idea…)

BAE: Book Addiction Enablers. The club with no 12-step program. Here we help one another to come to terms with our mutual addiction and accept that we are O.K!

I actually do have an online book club that I named. So, I guess I’ll submit that name!
The Midnight Book Club
The name of the book club comes from two sources of inspiration- one being the book The Midnight Club by Christopher Pike, about a group of terminally ill teenagers who gather at midnight to tell stories, and loosely inspired by the movie Practical Magic and the magical family’s pension towards midnight margaritas.

WHO LET THE BOOKS OUT?? (who - who - who) WHO LET THE BOOKS OUT???
Come on, you’d have to have a fun book club with that name. =)

Paper Minds would be the name of my book club if I ran one. I like the imagery and I’m definitely a hard copy over audio book type of reader.

Ok, stole the idea from Jasper Fforde. Wouldn’t it just be great to spend time in Jurisfiction?

One Thousand and One Nights (assuming that the book club met in the evenings).

I’m sure I’ll come up with something wittier after I submit it, but since most of my book reading friends are moms, I’m thinking something like MOms REading Books, aka MORE Books.

Ok, I’m chuckling because Word Shakers was the name of the paranoid book club I recently left.
We just had the first meeting of our new club, and we are calling ourselves NPPs - Non-paranoid Peeps. I love it!
But I also love the idea of a book club called Team Peeta!

I actually used to be a part of a book club that I’m hoping to carry on in my new city (in fact, I’m hoping to start it up again next month!) that was called Resident Readers . . . it came from the main demographic of medical interns/residents and their spouses/significant others. I just love the way it sounds!!

Well, I’ve never claimed to be a creative person, but I’ll give this a shot. How about “Bookin’ It”?

Hi,
Where can I order wedding planning books like the kind to be a wedding planner? Not too expensive though and maybe they come with a movie or something but ones that have good training in them.
