Since there is such a high demand for the "Chick Lit" Phoenix Book Club, I thought I would start another chick lit group in Scottsdale. This group is for women who enjoy the occasional "Sex and the City" type book. What woman has not found herself at least drawn into the television show?!? "Chick lit" is a term used to describe a genre of fiction that is written and marketed to young women. The genre especially targets young single, working women in their twenties and thirties; however the genr …

Active, intellectual, and adventurous!

Whether you recently moved to town or have lived here for years, meeting new people that you can relate to can be a challenge, and that's where we can help! How we are different: We may seem similar to some other Meetup groups. However, we choose to narrow our focus in an effort to …

Want to get intrigued? You're in luck because this is the place. The Scottsdale Women of Mystery Book Group reads notable women (mostly) writers of mystery, suspense/thriller, and detective/crime fiction. Our book selections range from Agatha Christie's famously classic cozies to contemporary novels by other well- (or sometimes lesser) known authors. We gather to chat about the latest book we've read (and whatever else comes up!) at a monthly weekday dinner or weekend brunch. You can find out mo …

A book discussion group for young professionals focused on remaining well read held the first Tuesday of every month at the Scottsdale Civic Center Library!

When college life is behind you and you're a full-time member of the "working world," meeting new people can be difficult. It can be especially challenging to meet other young women in a similar stage of life with whom you can create new friendships. That's where we can help! :) If you are a female working professional age 22-37 who does not have children, we'd love for you to join us! Our social group is for professional, fun-loving, active, easy-going, and intelligent young women who are gen …

Do you want to share opinions and insights on books you have read with a warm and accepting group? If you answer yes to any of these questions, then this is the group for you!

A great group of avant-garde women who want to read and talk about challenging literature - fictional and non-fictional. This is NOT your chic-lit group. We read classics like Rand, Lewis, and Twain. We read moderns like Friedman, Friedan, Robbins, and even Rowling. All for FUN. We're clever, raucous, valiant, and not afraid to use a dictionary!

Join us if you are interested in broadening your horizons. We'll be reading fiction one month and non-fiction the next.

My husband is balder now, thanks to my love of classic fiction and my inability to keep quiet about it. In an effort to maintain marital peace (and perhaps to keep a few threads of hair attached to his poor head), I decided to start a book discussion group centered on classic novels. The purpose of the group, then, will be to dive into the worlds created by some of history's most famous authors: Steinbeck, Twain, Austin, Dostoevsky, and, of course, Dickens, just to name a few. If you also enj …

Join the group to …

This thematic book club idea originated in Durham, North Carolina and traveled to Mesa, Arizona once I moved to the desert.  This group reads two books a month. By the second Saturday of the month we have finished a “tie-in” book and movie and get together to watch the film and discuss both book and show afterwards.  Also, we have snacks brought by members that also coincide with something from the book.  If the movie is playing at the theater, we meet there.  If not, we meet at a group member's …

This group reads a book on a science related topic each month and discusses it. We rarely have the answers, but we have the curiosity to explore ideas. Anyone interested in the life sciences should join this group.

Welcome to CulturalAZ! A Very Active and Friendly Social Club with a Difference! This group started with the simple idea of meeting new people and making new friends away from the bar scene.  Where people could meetup at art galleries or artwalks, gardens, museums, music events, independent films, historical places, science, wine tastings and world dining. And we even have a book club, held once a month. Singles and couples are welcome here!  There's no age limitation either.  This is a super f …

The only requirement is a desire to le …

I love to read! But somehow my busy life just gets in my way. This book club is my little gift to myself. Lets pick a great book and commit to reading it every month and then get together to discuss! There's only one rule in this book club: NO DOWNERS!! I read for fun, not to be bummed out ;) Because this group is brand new, I'm still working a few things out: 1. I'm trying to get the use of the barn for the monthly meetup 2. If it's not the barn, I'll host it at my house and hopefully eventuall …

The book or the movie? Tired of having your friends ask "Why read the book when you can watch the movie?" If you love to read books and watch the subsequent film adaptation, then this group is perfect for you. This group is unique in that we will read a book (prior to the film's release), then watch the movie together as a group (generally the week of or week after it opens) and, finally, get together for a really great discussion on the book and the movie. As a member you must participate in …

A NEW local support group for Women that struggle with depression and self-doubt. These are issues that I struggle with daily and they are very isolating.  The more isolated I feel - the worse my depression, anxiety and self doubt become. Logically I know - I am not the only one who feels this way, but it sure feels like I am.  In hopes that there are other women who would appreciate getting together and sharing their struggles with those who can relate - I am starting this BOOK CLUB & SUPPORT G …

This is a book club for those women in Queen Creek and San Tan Valley. All ages are welcome. I'm tired of driving to Mesa, Gilbert or Chandler to go to a book club. So this is for all of us readers who want something close to home. I read fiction and non-fiction but ideas for good books are always welcome. If you want a break from being a mom or working please come join our group. Once I get some members we can decide together when is the best time to meet up.  We will also then choose our first …

We are a group of women who enjoy fictional books of substance. We meet at 6:00 p.m. on the 1st Tuesday of each month at various locations near the Chandler Mall/101 for Happy Hour and to discuss our current book selection. http://hhbookclub.blogspot.com/ We are accepting a few new members. If I get a lot of responses, I will keep a wait-list and there will probably be more openings in a few months for waitlist members to join, as some of our members have some changes in their lives. I will comm …
