My book club just finished our 50th book and the number made me think

We've been meeting for three years and I never kept count, but our organizer sent a list and we hit 50 last month with 'The Vanishing Half'. Some members think hitting a big number like that means we should celebrate or pick a special 51st book, while others say focusing on the count takes away from just enjoying each read. Do you think tracking milestones adds to a book club or makes it feel too much like homework?

Honestly, hitting 50 is a huge deal, you should totally celebrate it. But I get not wanting it to feel like a chore.

My friend's club made a big deal about their 25th book and it just stressed everyone out trying to pick the perfect one. They ended up arguing for weeks and it kinda killed the vibe for a bit.
