If you live/work in Jersey City, Hoboken, Bayonne, lower Manhattan or any of the surrounding areas and love books and people, this is the meetup for you. We meet several times each month in downtown Jersey City ? with different "editions (ie..Mystery, Women's, Sci-Fi/Fantasy, etc)" of our group devoted to a particular book genre. We'll occasionally have other events like poetry nights, kids' storytimes, and invite authors to join us when possible.
Attend any or all the editions you want, depending on how much you want to read and interact and what your genre interests are!
The Women's Book Group will be discussing The Maytrees by Annie Dillard.
