New to the area or just looking to meet some new people and read some new books? Then this group is for you. We'll take turns meeting at each other's homes or at local restaurants or coffee shops to discuss a selected book of the month.

This group is for women mostly aged 25-35 (though all are welcome) that would like to read, cook,  and/or walk with a group on a regular basis. We have a book club on the first Tuesday evening of every month that will probably focus on mostly fiction of the chick lit variety, a monthly cooking club, and there will also be a standing Sunday meeting for those interested in walking around Lake Elizabeth. Please feel free to pick and choose what events interest you! *Attendance Policy* We want to ma …

Welcome! This is a fun social co-ed book club for people of all ages (must be 18 years or older) who love reading. I used to read quite a bit when I was younger and in school but as I started working I found that my time was very limited and slowly stopped reading. I'd like to get back into reading at least one book a month. I would like to start this book club in the South Bay, specifically the San Jose area because this is where I live, so that as I read I can share my ideas and comments to ot …

I've been wanting to join a book club for a while, but as a full-time working mom with a 2 year old, it's been difficult to find the "right" book club. Many of the ones I have come across seem to be incredibly structured and inflexible (you MUST read the entire book) in a few short weeks, no NY bestsellers/no chic lit, etc… These are all the types of books I read!So, if you are looking for a book club that does have a heavy emphasis on CHIC LIT, easy/engaging fiction reads (i.e. books like The H …

If you love books and movies, why can’t you discuss both? I started South Bay Books and Movies because I wanted a club where people get together to discuss books and movies. In South Bay Books and Movies we will be spending time discussing fascinating books and movies while expanding our interests and not worrying about the details. We will meet every one to two weeks to discuss our book club selection and every three weeks to watch a movie and discuss it afterwards over dinner or late lunch. A …

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, …

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., …

Interested in human rights and social justice? Unsure as to the direction of our political, social and economic institutions? And are you looking for fellow humans to meet and encourage learning and help inspire change? In this book club, we will encourage each other to learn more, discuss ideas, challenge each other and teach each other.

Peninsula and South Bay 20's-40's Girls who love books is a meetup group in which we meet at various cafes, bars and restaurants and each other's homes on the Peninsula/in the South Bay to discuss books we love. This group will have a focus on private visits with authors, whose books we've read, as well as offer workshops for aspiring writers in our group. Whenever we can, we will try to support the work of local N. California authors and local bookstores on the Peninsula and in San Francisco. T …

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 …

Good books and good food go hand in hand, I think! A not-taken-too-seriously sort of women's book group that also shuns your everyday "chicklit" - not because some aren't romping good reads but they don't exactly warrant full discussion. Meetings take place at a restaurant or establishment so we can all try new places. Also, if you don't quite get around to finishing the book (or reading it for that matter...no worries!).  Just feel free to come to the meetings and socialize too.  Quarterly, we …

This group will serve as a place for individuals to gain support on their journey for inner peace. We'll choose one self-help/spiritual-growth book per month and discuss what we thought about the book, how to put the principles into action, what works and what doesn't and any challenges we're facing along the way. If you're looking for like-minded people who are interested in improving their lives through the teachings of Eckhart Tolle, Deepak Chopra, Don Miguel Ruiz and the like, this group is …
