Wine country is amazing, but we were lacking a book club which fueled me with the idea to start a casual monthly book club.  We are a small group who enjoys good books, great restaurants, and even better conversation.  Each month, a different member "hosts" the meeting.  It is up to that person to choose our book, the restaurant to meet at, and lead our discussion.  Any book is fair game (we have read mysteries, historical fiction, memoirs, and much more to come) and any restaurant is open to us …

This book club will meet once a month to discuss sci-fi or fantasy books voted on by members. We will choose from the list of 100 top picks of NPR listeners (the 60,000 who voted can't be too far off!). http://www.npr.org/2011/08/11/139085843/your-picks-top-100-science-fiction-fantasy-books Initially, we will meet at a public place such as a restaurant or coffee house, but may also begin meeting in homes if people feel comfortable with that. Meetings will be in the close-in SE Portland/Milwaukie …

Come join us for lively discussions, good food, and most of all...fun!  Meet other book lovers in order to discuss books usually- but not exclusively- by African American Authors. We are also a Social Club that enjoys getting together for game nights, movies, fitness, ladies night out, bowling, community service, and the list goes on. This is a great way to meet and fellowship with positive women of color in the Beaverton/Portland/Vancouver area. CHECK US OUT! Book Discussions are the second Sat …

Some of us are dedicated book readers. Others can't seem to find the motivation. So whether you are the former, or the latter (me), let's get together to inspire and encourage each other to read and share our literature experiences! Every month we will meet up to discuss the book of the month as chosen by the hostess of the month. Sorry men, this book club is intended for ladies only!   ***WE ARE CURRENTLY FULL!!*** I'm keeping the group limited, but if a couple of people drop out (which will su …

There are others book clubs around but they are already full or well established. I would like to have just 10-12 ladies that want to share with others the books they enjoy. We will start of in a mutually chosen spot . After we will each host the meetup. She will pick the location, the book and 'run' the meetup. I am looking for women who love to read and share the story with others. Who want to be in a book club, and don't feel they fit in any of the other groups.

This is a book club for those who have been told that fantasy is a "shallow" genre without any substance to offer. The focus of this group is on fantasy and its various sub-genres. So, for those who love questing with Bilbo, flying with Bastion, learning the Craft alongside Witch, or dream of the sunken city of R'lyeh, please join us for a fantastic adventure. Here's the short and sweet about how it works: We meet once a month. The book we meet to discuss is chosen the month before via poll.  T …

Hello! Sick of trudging all the way to the Eastside? This is a group for people in the NoPo/Overlook/Killingsworth/PCC/St.Johns area. We will meet primarily around close-in North Portland and close-in NW. Although the group will focus more on books, we can also have discussions on just about anything! The North ("NoPo") is a great area that is often overlooked from the rest of Portland.  Traditionally thought of as sort of a grungy area of town, the "fifth quarter of Portland" is actually is a m …

This group is for people that have started realizing there might be more out there than Atheism or organized religion but are not sure what it is, what it’s called, what it means or, most importantly, where to go from here. We are interested in Spirituality - be it - ESP, Hypnotherapy, Meditation, Astrology, Reincarnation…all general metaphysics. We are by no means experts on any of these subjects and that’s just the point! This group is all about taking a book on one of these fascinating subjec …

Well, I for one, love to read. I would also love to take reading to the next level with a little discussion. I have a few things in mind for this book club: 1) Read some stuff. Obvs. 2) Use some brain power to think and discuss. 3) Meet other Portland women in my age range (early 30s). 4) Have a nice evening once a month despite rain clouds. 5) Maybe have a glass of wine/beer? Hmmm? Or tea.  Who's with me?

I'll be honest....I have no friends! I just moved to the Portland area for business. I have a great job, an amazing boyfriend...but I miss spending time with girls! I know I can't be the only twenty-something, semi-single career gal new to the area, and thought this might be a fun way to meet some fun girls. The group will be about the reading if you'd like it to be...or we could talk about the book for about 15 minutes and then just drink wine.

Ok, so once again I was lamenting over beers with my best friend that my old bookclub in Michigan was so awesome & I totally miss it... The books, friends, food, wine & good times. I love living in Portland & have met some great people, but I'm looking for the next awesomest bookclub! You: -Awesome! (any age or gender) ok, well over 21. -Intelligent -Enjoy good food & wine/beer or what have you. -Read the book -Have an interesting life so we have something to talk about after the book & the seco …
