Avid readers know how much fun a book club can be. How can you turn your book club membership into a date? You both need to read the same book and then talk about it.

The fun is working hard to find the items and where the journey leads you. Try to come up with items that will be hard to find that will require teamwork to pull it off.

It's not winning and losing that matters, it's the amount of fun that you have. Snacks and cold drinks add to the enjoyment of playing cards together.

The guesses that both of you come up with will be so hilarious that you're bound to get a good chuckle.
