End on time, if this club is an on going club ,not a one time book discussion, then end on time. People want their time respected and if they have a babysitter or work the next day they will appreciate you ending on time. This may mean you don’t get through all your questions and that's okay.

When you are getting to the end of your time, wrap up the discussion. One good way to do this is to ask people to rate the book on a scale of 1 to 10.
