/lit/ - Literature

I want to start a book club irl. I'm trying to be proactive in my social life and put effort towards making friends and meeting people. I live about one block from my local library and I am fucking dying to make some actual human connection. Maybe then, I'll make more friends than the few I have left, not to mention that word on the street is bitches love book clubs. I'm nervous as fuck though. I've never started a group or club myself, and unfortunately I live in a small town where these niche groups and spaces just don't exist. I've also been kind of a loner most of my life, just the thought of doing this makes me anxious as hell. I keep wondering what I'll do if nobody joins, if I can't commit to it, or if it just goes poorly. I love reading, but I want to find others to share that love with instead of just reading alone like always. Anyone with advice on book clubs or just clubs in general, please share. Also, how can I overcome the fear and self-doubt and just do it?
