I love to read and would love to belong to a book club. I live in Hyde Park and would like to form a group with people that live in the same general area. We could get together once a month (or every other month) to discuss a chosen book and enjoy each other's company. I'm in my 50's, but it would be great to have members of various ages join the club.

Our ladies-only book club completed  8 years together in September 2011. We will have shared almost 100 books together!  Meetings are filled with lively conversation and fun related to the theme of each book. At every meeting, we tie in food or an activity. We usually meet on the far northwest side of Chicago (near Devon & Central in the neighborhood of Edgebrook). Public transportation is excellent.  Members are all ages and stages of life, from cto retirement.  We are also on facebook as a pri …

Once a month, we meet for our book discussions, rotating to a different woman's home or a local venue. The genre varies. Women of all backgrounds are welcome.

Chocolate Books is a book club for adults who love to read the guilty pleasures of the literary world. Young Adult, Romance, Chick Lit ~ you know, the kind of books that you thoroughly enjoy, but when reading in a public place, you slip off the dust jacket so no one knows what it is. What I like to call ~ Chocolate Books! Each month, we will all decide on a new book, while alternating genres. Come read some chocolate with us!

Hi there!  I used to belong to a wonderful, monthly book club, but due to a change in my work schedule, I was no longer able to attend.  I decided to create my own.  We currently meet on Tuesdays, and alternate meeting each month at 1 pm and 7 pm.  Days/times we meet may change, but advanced notice will be given.  **Starting in August, we will be meeting Mondays.** The book of the month will be posted at least a couple months in advance.  This is not a 'chick-lit' only group.  We read a variety …

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 …

These are the voyages of the Western Suburban Science-Fiction Book Club... Our continuing mission: to seek out the most compelling, discussion-provoking science-fiction (and occasionally, fantasy) and gather together to chat about them over dinner. It's a pretty good mission. Reading sci-fi suggests certain nerdish... leanings, but don't be afraid: our group is all-inclusive. Yes, I'm sure a few of us qualify as geeks, but we're all socially well-adjusted and reasonably freshly showered too. Our …

We'll read one book per month on topics that will us be better leaders, effective business people, engaged family members, more satisfied, or successful in achieving the things that we set out for. This group is intended to provide concepts that anyone can use to help achieve their own personal goals. This book club is a friendly group of book readers that want to learn more about themselves, business, career advancement, happiness, many other topics that are focused on helping our members becom …

We are a cozy women's book club that meets on the third Tuesday of every month except December.  We welcome new members joining, however new member signups only occur once a month for one week.  Due to a large number of new membership ups, we will be skipping our membership drives in March and April and open our group up in May.  For May, we will be open to new member signups from May 15th (10 pm) to the 22nd (9 pm).  During that timeframe, Meetup.com will show us as an "open" group.  This is ho …

I'm a 30-something guy who likes to read mostly nonfiction. If you're a nonfiction reader like me this is for you! I like history, science, sports, true crime and travel narratives, but am willing to be flexible.

I am starting out in the world of children's book illustration and would love to have a critique group to share images and ideas.
