This is a group for gals in their 30s and 40s who live in The Commons of McLean area and like to read fiction. There are a lot of transplants in this area and a book club is a great way to get to know your neighbors. It's a pretty relaxed group, so come ready to socialize, meet your neighbors and chat a little about a fiction book. We are not confined to any genre and will take suggestions from members for the next book of the month. Books will be classics ("To Kill a Mockingbird") or newish ("T …

Can you spend hours in a book store? Is being in a book store almost as enticing as a shoe store? Could you spend all of your hard-earned money on books? Do you own more books than shoes?

We lean towards literary fiction and, to keep it interesting, we'll throw in a classic or two. Check us out! Membership Requirements: 1. Pay your membership dues $10.00. The annual memb …

A women's book club in Vienna, VA - although we occasionally stray outside of Vienna's boundaries for our monthly meet up!

We meet once a month to discuss a book; usually at a restaurant (occasionally a member's home) - sometimes with the cuisine matching the theme of the book!  We try to select books a few months out, and select books at a meet up - with those present at that meeting suggesting, voting o …

There are many things that this group is NOT: It's not being critiqued by anyone who walks in off the street, It's not meandering conversations about kids, recipes, having a terrible job, or having no job at all. It's not about blogging, fanfic, children's books, or books that are written in an hour, a week, a month, or a year. What this group IS is meeting regularly with a professional writer and editor who will work on your book on all levels from genre choice to plot arcs to line-by-line edit …

I am a high school biology teacher who would like to have extra motivation to read science-related books and discuss them outside of school. These wouldn't be textbooks, they would be more "popular science" that are educational and entertaining as well! Authors will include Richard Dawkins, Natalie Angier, E.O. Wilson, Carl Sagan, and Rachel Carson among others. There are many of these that have been on my "to-do" list for a long time. Of course other science teachers would be great for this gro …

This group is being started for women who live in the Kentlands , Gaithersburg or other areas and wish to meet other women who like to read women authors and make new friends.  We will pick a book by a female author each month and meet to discuss it.  Sometimes we may view movies that have been made from books and compare them to the book.  This will be a chance to make this group what the members want it to be and to get an opportunity to get in on the beginning of the group as it forms.

The purpose of this group is to discuss books that we find we can't put down after the first reading.  We'll discuss the elements of the story that we most connect with. Drinking warm, soothing tea such as jasmine, oolong, mint, constant comment, green leaves with orange peel, or peppermint will enhance your discussion of what we will read. How comfy is that? This group will appeal to diverse women over who enjoy laughing and crying over a good read. If you feel as if you would like to discuss y …

Let's get together over coffee and chat about the novels of Susan Howatch, which have been described as follows: In all of these novels there is a meshing of Christianity and psychology, which Howatch uses as a tool to perhaps reach those “who say and think that religion is outdated rubbish.” If you talk to these people in the language of psychology, she says, “then you can say, this is what Christianity is saying. Learn the language." You don't need to be a Christian to enjoy these novels. Ther …

One of the best ways to network is to do it through shared activities. By being in a relaxed atmosphere you will get to know others and establish deeper relationships doing something you like, vs. a quick networking meeting at a hotel or restaurant. Besides the networking opportunites for business and work, you will also improve your health and fitness. Hikes will tend to be 4-6 miles during the weekdays before or after work with options for longer hikes for those wishing to do so. It sure beats …
