Background This book club has maintained consistent activity since the pandemic, with annual reading totals ranging from 10-14 books per year. The club has shown resilience in maintaining regular meetings and book discussions, even as many pandemic-era book clubs have disbanded. The historical data shows no clear trend of increase or decrease, but demonstrates stable participation and completion rates.

Resolution Criteria This market will resolve based on the total number of books fully read and discussed by the book club during the 2025 calendar year (January 1, 2025 - December 31, 2025). To qualify, a book must be:

• Read by a minimum quorum of active club members

• Discussed in at least one official book club meeting

• Count as a full-length book (not short stories, articles, or excerpts)

If the book club dissolves or becomes inactive in 2025, the market will resolve based on the number of books completed before the dissolution. If the club completely ceases to exist before 2025, the market will resolve N/A.

Considerations

• The club's historical average is approximately 12 books per year

• The club has never read fewer than 10 or more than 14 books in a year

• Book clubs typically show seasonal variation in reading rates (slower in summer/holiday months)

• Changes in membership, meeting frequency, or book selection process could impact the 2025 total
