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 Bitch Book Club, which has 32,000 members.
Today, we talk about:
- what makes a great book club book? a.k.a. 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.
