Hi guys. This is a (newer) group which is meant to be a meeting group for sci-fi, fantasy, horror, and comicbook fans, (of movies, books, artwork, etc) and creators in Lake County/McHenry Counties (for example, writers, artists, movie makers, etc, are welcome too!) since the only groups I've been able to find like that, all seem to be in Chicago. This group is going to work best for those with a more flexible weekend schedule since I plan on scheduling a meetup for this group on at least one Sat …

There are a few other book clubs out there, but not many in the NW corner of the city.  I struggled to find one that was just for women and had spots available at their upcoming events.  So, I started my own group. I'm also hoping to expand beyond the monthly book discussions.  It would be great to meet other women that are interested in dinners, wine tasting, etc. in the city or in the surrounding suburbs. I'm in my mid-30's so I titled the group 30s (ish).  If you're age is above or below that …

Hey, let's read and discuss some good books. I'll keep this meetup simple.  Anyone can suggest a book.  The more popular the book, the faster it will get on the list, with some exceptions.  For instance, if we have a streak of books on politics, I may  toss in a medical or philosophy title to break it up.  And to really mix it up, we may even take on the occasional piece of fiction, perhaps a banned book or two.  Discussions will be very informal, but if someone would like to take the lead on an …
