Hey Ho Book Lovers! Please join us if you can relate to any of the following: Do you often feel unenthused at the idea of having what you read next dictated by a book club? Or wish that your book discussions would involve opinions of both men AND women? Do you love meeting up with friends to discuss what others are reading and get recommendations, in a friendly, obligation-free environment? Do you use your library card more than your gym membership? Or visit Vromans on a bi-weekly basis and wis …

The Tasty Book Club pairs good books with good food. We read a variety of genres: silly books, smart books, memoirs, literary fiction and, yes, we even once read a book about werewolves. We pair the book with food or countries that appear in the book. If a book takes place in Greece, we eat Greek food. If we read a book that takes place in the American South, we go for BBQ. And so on. We aim for diversity among our book choices. Everyone is welcome to suggest books, but preference is given to b …

Hi Everyone! I started this meetup because there are so many books I want to read, and I think that discussing them with others will make it more fun, challenging, and fulfilling. My academic background is in Philosophy and Anthropology . . . but there is so much more to discover! This is a meetup for people who love learning and thinking about the world around them: sociology, history, philosophy, evolution, primatology, cognitive science, cultural studies, biographies, political science, curre …

Welcome to the Baby Boomers and Friends Book Club website.

This is a book and social club of 10 - 15 dynamic, diverse and progressive Baby Boomers. Our goal is to create a fun and inspiring community for book lovers. Our book selections and discussions reflect the collective imagina …

Whether you are an avid book reader or just read a book every now and again this club is for you. I started this group so that I could have great conversations with other women about books that make us think, cry, dream or simply laugh. I enjoy recommending and lending books to my friends in exchange for their recommendations and book loans and would love to have more people to do this with. Books chosen will be by suggestion of members and are typically off the best-seller's list or "Oprah B …

Let's get together to discuss great books, meet other fabulous women in their 20's and a great meal! We will get together at least once a month at an upscale restaurant for brunch or dinner to discuss a book that will be voted on and selected by members.

This meetup is for women of all ages who live in or around the West Hollywood area.

The Book Club will take place once a month at a Cafe or Restaurant. The social aspect of the group includes anything from exploring LA, coffee, hiking, small bars, movies, bowling, dining in, dining out, museums, spas, book signings and any thing else that sparks your …

This is a group for Women who are looking for a new way to meet new people, and have the conversation starter of a good book!  This is a casual group that will be meeting up at coffee shops, restaurants, parks, etc. at least once a month (more or less depending on need and length of the book ;D ) I would also like this to be a group that will give their input on the next books to read, where to meet and so on. Hope you will join and we get to meet soon!!

Valley Girls Tuesday Night Book Club is about enjoyable reading for women who want to experience good books--period.  Doesn't matter the author, genre or medium.  In fact, I would encourage you to try different media when reading.  Try a book on CD/tape every once and a while--as long as it's unabridged.  Makes those car rides go a lot faster!  I'm not a slave to having the author be a woman or it necessarily even about being 'women's issues' (whatever those are) but would like to pick interesti …

Well I think the group name does most of the describing, but the goal here is for people relatively the same age, to pick great books, meet up once a month and discuss them. I want to create a casual and fun atmosphere so that like-minded people can get together, meet people out of their circles, and have the intellectual stimulation that's void from so many of the encounters I've had with people out here in LA. We'll pick from a range of books, and meet wherever the group decides. Ideally, we'd …

This is a group for anyone interested in developing themselves, the go-getters in life and those just looking to meet up with a group of positive people looking to make changes in their life. I started this book club because i want to meet other introspective people looking to become the greatest version of themselves without pomp nor pretense, just real. People who are interested in reading positive books and discussing what they've learned and applied from their experience.

I love all kinds of books, but especially Science Fiction and Fantasy. When I finish a really good book, I love to be able to discuss some of the ideas the author introduced, check my understanding of some of the plot twists and character development, and generally just say how much I liked or hated the book. If you would also like to discuss new books, ideas and authors with SF&F fans, this group is for you! Join us each month for a new book, decided by poll.

If you are tired of telling yourself, "I have a hard time sitting down and reading the latest books on the bestseller list or books people have recommended to me or that I've found of interest, bought and are still sitting on my shelf", join our group. Not only will you read a plethora of books that you might never have read, you'll also get a chance to discuss them with other lesbians! This group is for women who love women. The goal of this group is to discuss books of all genres (with an emph …

The books will be posted and give at least 3 weeks advance notice to be prepared to read the material and bring forth our interpretations. We will meet in, or near, Altadena, but that will be provided in advance. It will be nice to experience our readings, and reflections in pleasant locations in the area. I just love all the interest.

The Beverly Hills Great Books Discussion Group, organized under the aegis of the world-recognized Great Books Organization founded by Mortimer Adler (www.GreatBooks.org), uniquely claims the distinction of the oldest functioning Great Books Discussion Group in the Nation - See our mention in A Great Idea at the Time by Alex Beam ('08).

Let’s surround ourselves with individuals who aspire to improve themselves or reposition their lives in a positive direction. We all could get caught in the cycle of everyday life and lose focus on our purpose. Whether you are tip-toeing or making giant leaps towards your dreams and/or goals, let’s get together and read about ways to stay focused and progressive. Hopefully, our discussions will encourage, motivate, and support one another on our journeys. Let’s move forward with our dreams, pr …

Advice from Cher Horowitz from the classic film Clueless: "You should read one non-school book a week." This advice applies not only to high school girls, but also to lesbians, queers, gay ladies. The LA Gay Lady Book Club is for women who want to read one cool book a month, and we'll be taking suggestions on what to read from the club's members. The books we read may or may not be lesbian/queer themed, but the Ladies who attend probably will be ;) (gay/lesbian/bi/queer, trans family welcome) Re …

This group will focus on reading good books (and by good books, I mean books that have plot, device and resolution . .very often plots within plots. In other words, books that challenge the mind, and that force you to consult your dictionary for the definition of new words to add to your vocabulary.) At the risk of sounding blunt, Nora Roberts and Danielle Steel aficionados need not apply. I am aiming toward sci-fi, fantasy, mystery, and relevant (and I mean RELEVANT) fiction. This group wil …

Our group has been part of the Valencia Public Library Book Group for over twelve years. We love reading! We read and discuss contemporary literature, classics, biographies and non-fiction. These meetings result in intellectually stimulating conversation and great friendships. We are setting up this Meetup because we want to expand our reading group to include additional cultural activities such as movies, museums, theatre, and other fun events. These activities may relate to the books we are re …

There is a seemingly endless supply of books on the writing craft, so instead of feeling guilty because I'm working or doing the laundry instead of reading an enlightening book on the craft, I thought I'd set up an actual monthly time and place to fulfill this need and have writers to talk to about the book! We will read everything from books on writing fiction to poetry to screenwriting. Whatever catches our fancy that month. I'd like to find organizers in several areas of the city, then we can …
