Sundays in Savannah Book Club, is for women of color to come together, so we can explore novels about our history, culture, experiences, and desires. The purpose of the book club is to build relationships, have good eats, and great conversations about the book of the month; all while in an enjoyable and engaging environment. We will meet on the last Sunday evening of every month (except for November and December; held on the third Sunday). The meetings can be held at a number of places, such as, …

This is a meetup for queer-identifying folks to get together and read books together, talk about them, and socialize. (But we won't discriminate against any straight allies that may want to participate!) Books read  in this meetup group will include multiple genres, and group participants will help decide what books will be read. While it is a queer-targeted book club, we will not be limited to queer-themed material (though such literature will have its place, as few other book clubs will incorp …

There's always room for one more book enthusiast in the Fremont Ladies' Book Club! We are a group of ladies who love to read and love socializing with others who share our passion for books.  If this sounds like you, we'd love to have you join us. Everyone gets to contribute to the book selection process.  This allows us to read a wide variety of books that we may not have otherwise picked up in the book store.  Most of our books have been fiction, but we've also read non-fiction, a children's c …

Are you interested in a fun book club with other people your age? Please come join! I noticed that most of the book clubs out there in the east bay area tended to have more members over 30 and I have always wanted a club made up of fellow book lovers within my own age range. Any women/gay guys in the east bay area between 21-29 are more than welcome (You don't have to live in Walnut Creek to come hang out with us!) whether you are a college student, in your career, or a stay at home parent. The …

This ain't your mama's book club! The focus of the club is to read and discuss books. We will usually have a genre selection, sometimes have a group selection, and sometimes (rarely) have no selection. And, it's OK if you don't read the "book of the month," just come and talk about something you're currently reading or have read in the past. Our members read all genres, and some of our best discussions have been about books that have been suggested that aren't "best sellers." We are an ongoing g …

Each month we'll choose a book to read for the next month. The group will not focus on a single type of literary criticism, but rather on the range of appropriate types.

Looking for a casual book club that doesn't feel like homework? Look no further! This club will be meeting twice a month, but each meeting will be unique in its own way. The first meeting of the month will be your conventional book club, where the group reads the same book and we discuss our thoughts.

The …

There are several Meetup book clubs in the East Bay, but many of them are specialized (e.g., women-only, we only read such-and-such books, etc.), or their meetings fill to capacity so fast that I never get a chance to rsvp - so I decided to start this one. I previously participated in a fantastic book club in Chicago, which gave me the opportunity to read some great books that I probably wouldn't have found on my own. I hope to continue that trend here! This is a mixed-gender book club for anyon …

Back by popular demand... First, thanks for taking the first step in joining a special group of ladies who love to read, chat, over enjoy a glass of wine. I initially started this group two years ago because I am a book junkie who was looking to join a book club in the area and found none. After a year on Facebook, I decided it was time to take the group back were it all started. We read mostly contemporary lit, but do mix it up every so often with a classic. This is the book club for anyone who …

This group is, in fact, closed at the moment. Book discussions are best with 10-15 people, so we need to cap the number of members in the group. When space becomes available, the website will invite new members to apply. WHO WE ARE We are lesbian/bisexual women in our late 30s to early 50s who love to read, discuss books, cook/enjoy good food, and socialize. We are friendly, intelligent, and respectful of different points of view. Since this is the kind of group that requires advanced plannin …

What: A book club for avid romance novel readers. Meetups not exclusively limited to book discussions. My hope is to get to know new people and building some new friendships (most of my friends are in Europe or scattered across the country). Who: Any avid romance novel reader with an open mind and a sense of humor. Why: I haven't been able to find a book club geared towards romance novels (most exclude them), and especially not in the East Bay. I commute a lot during the week for work, so I woul …

Join us for discussions on an eclectic mix of fiction and non-fiction books. We meet once a month - usually the evening of the third Thursday - at a member's home mid-Peninsula. The book for each month is chosen by a mixture of voting and consensus. Our discussions include both the book itself and the issues it raises. They are lively, informal, and respectful of everyone's view. Here are some books that we recently read: - "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley - "The Haunting of Hill House" by Sh …

Hi there fellow 40-somethings, I created this group when I first moved to Marin County from Southern California and it was a great way to make friends. Now I'm in Berkeley and wanted to start one here. The name of the group speaks for itself, I don't stick with a theme of books to read; one month we may read a mystery, another month a classic, the next...well, you get the idea! We'll have one scheduled book club meeting each month and I'll also schedule meetups in between to attend a literature …

This new Meetup will be for all writers and book lovers with various interests, styles, and purposes. Think of it as an "umbrella" group where you can post your own specific book ideas or book club events, as well as interact with authors or book readers, without the cost of paying the Meetup fee and setting up a new Meetup account.

So maybe it's OK if we don't always have time to finish the book... This group is for Moms and expectant Moms in Silicon Valley who want to grow their social circles. I work at Google, and after having our baby my husband and I moved to Palo Alto after a year in London and many years in San Francisco. I'm looking to develop a social circle down South, and I'm guessing there are many other people like me out there! In this book club, we choose a book and a thematically appropriate cuisine (e.g., …

This is a co-ed non-traditional book club for all those in their 20s. Based on members' votes, we will choose one quirky/unique/mind-blowingly bizarre book to read each month (Warning: we will largely stay away from current bestsellers). At the end of each meeting, all Interrobangers will posit their arguments for next month's choice. The group as a whole will vote. Note: Voting criteria may include, but is not limited, to the following: most intriguing plot, cleverest argument, prettiest cove …
