I love the movie "The Jane Austen Book Club." I also love Jane Austen and reading. This group will read all six of Jane's books, The Jane Austen Book Club and books inspired by Jane and her books (like "Mr. Darcy Broke My Heart").

In this group we will read a book about leadership each month and meet to discuss the book we read. It is expected, yet not required, to read the book before the discussion. We will read books from Collins, Blanchard, Maxwell, Covey, and other suggestions are welcomed. I look forward to challenging each other as leaders. Come to the first meeting and get the first book …

I teach M-Th and have many family obligations evenings and weekends. I would love to meet up with folks for a morning book club. We'll meet one Friday morning a month at an East Cobb restaurant for brunch and a book chat. Titles a bit more sophisticated than Harlequin Romances (not that there's anything wrong with that!) but not so complex and "heady" that your brain has to hurt while reading it. Members will be encouraged to take turns selecting books and restaurants.

Our group meets every two weeks on Friday for brunch and camaraderie. We chat about books, movies, current events, our lives, whatever is going on with us. All ages are welcome...just please have a love of the romance genre and alternate plans for child care.

We'll meet for an informal brunch at least once a month to discuss the possibilities and enjoy the fellowship of those who love both the reading of books and the craft behind …

Sometimes being a geek girl is a lonely experience. It's hard connect with other women when their staring at you funny because you're trying to explain your theory that the nature of a child's mutation stems partially from genetics as seen in Polaris and Magneto, but mostly from some sort of trauma before puberty, the time in which most mutants first exhibit abilities. Ex: Nightcrawler wanted to disappear because of his demonic appearance and he did. You flashed 'em a little bit of your geek and …

Dinner with a twist… “You know that scene in the deli from the movie When Harry Met Sally? That’s what I feel about food when it’s really good.” This quote, from Malcolm Gladwell’s novel Blink, is from a woman who is a professional food taster. How’s that for a dream job?! If you’re like me – single, 40+ and you enjoy cooking, learning and reading about food as much as you do eating it, then pull up a seat and join us at the dinner table, in the classroom, a book discussion - or anywhere else ou …

This meetup is about Spirituality NOT Religion! I promise you this... If you become wholly committed to awakening from the dream you have dreamt since the stars first began to appear in the heavens and if your one desire is to be only what God created, then lay at the altar of your heart with every breath, everything you think you know, everything you think you need, and look lovingly upon every place that fear has made a home in your mind, and allow correction to come. It will come. Regardless …

Metaphysics can be a priori speculation upon questions that are unanswerable to scientific observation, analysis, or experiment. A salon is a gathering of people under the roof of an inspiring host, held partly to amuse one another and partly to refine the taste and increase their knowledge of the participants through conversation. This group is dedicated to learning more about various New Age and self-improvement topics. We are willing to believe that there may be phenomena not easily explained …
