This group is designed for people, 30ish-50ish, who want to find two things: their next great read and just maybe, their next great love. Or just a date! Too many book club picks are geared towards the fairer sex only, so we will pick books that are of interest to both the sexes - every time! Then we will meet every other month, on the first Wednesday, for a drink or dinner, and to discuss our latest book. So join me! Any single who likes to read is welcome! It could be fun...

This is a Book Club in Clearwater that is open to anyone, so any bookworms, book lovers and people who love to read are welcome to join. This is not limited to any age, race, sex or religion, etc. I put a $2 fee for each meeting only because it costs me $15 a month to have the group on Meetup and I just want to have that covered. If 15 people show up, it will only be $1 a person.

Many teens and young adults are challenged (aka required) to read "the classics" in high school or college literature courses. Yet others either didn't have those courses, never took those electives or just flat out "didn't want" to read these books at that point in their lives. As we grow older and (hopefully) wiser, we now begin to ask did we miss something? Or if you did read the classics, is there something more now that I'm at a different life stage? Are you an avid reader who likes to re …

This group is made up of a fun bunch of ladies from all different backgrounds that love to read!  We meet once a month to discuss a book over wine, water, and treats.  Anyone can recommend a title and one of the best things about this club is discovering books you might not have stumbled upon on your own.  So if this sounds like fun to you, come join us!

This book club is for people who rushed through those required novels while in school and want to read them again with genuine interest this time. Rich adult-life experiences are sure to alter the way we relate and interpret these timeless tales. As a new group I am open to preferred dates to meet, I have a community room in my condo building that can be reserved for our meetings. I can provide snacks and we can each bring our beverage of choice.

I'm establishing a book meetup group that is a little different. In this group, instead of everyone reading the same book, we will pick out our own book and share what we've read at our meetups. We will get first hand accounts from each other about books we might not normally read. We may indeed find out we would like to read the others' books, or at the least learn about some things outside of our normal comfort zone.

"Seekers of The Truth" This is where individuals and groups can come to learn, teach, and study Atlantis and its relationship to New Age Spirituality and Metaphysics.
