Rekindle Your Romance the Frugal Way: Join a Book Discussion Group Together

Have you gotten to the point in your romance that you find yourself repeating the same stories and ideas to your partner? Hint: if your partner's eyes begin to glaze over in response to the fifth rendition of how much you loathe your coworker, perhaps you need some fresh ground to explore together. If your idea of a relaxing Thursday evening is to sip coffee while discussing a good book with other thoughtful people, then the two of you should join a book group together. At the very least, the two of you will have new people to gossip about.

Short on Money to Buy Books?

Your local library most likely offers a plethora of free resources, such as a free source of books for your group. For example, my local library system offers "Book Discussion Group Kits" for juveniles, teens, and adults, which come with about 10 books you can check out for a little over a month. Each kit also comes with questions to ask about the book during discussion. Technically, you are already paying for it through your taxes, so use your library's book discussion group kits!

Free Ideas About Which Books are the Best Romantic Reads

An excellent place to find specific books you will want to check out at your local library is http://www.amazon.com/. It is my favorite website to read reviews about a book I am considering suggesting to my book discussion group. Other valuable information that can be found on amazon.com is the length of the book in terms of number of pages, the publish date, and a rating system of one to five stars where anyone can write his or her own review. If you are reading the book as a group, remember to choose appropriately for how much time people in the group have and for how much material can be read between the times you meet.

Keep it Fun, Light, and Not Overly Deep
