This is a group for Eastside women in their 20s who like to read and are looking to hang out with other Eastsiders. We'll meet one evening a month (usually the last Tuesday or Wednesday of the month) to discuss whatever book the group has decided on. We'll also meet up from time to time for other events that tie into the book we're reading (movies? trivia at a local bar?)

If you like to read and discuss books, this is the place for you! In the group, you'll meet kindred book lovers who come together to discuss a variety of topics. We mainly read non-fiction books - history, politics, religion, current events and economics. Every couple of months we read a book of fiction to keep us well-rounded. Our discussions are a way to explore the concepts and facts presented by our reading. It's a wonderful way to learn, share and keep our brains active. Come join us!

The type of book club where you really just need an excuse for girl time. We will take turns choosing books and meet monthly to discuss the book and socialize. I am all for challenging my intellect, but sometimes I just want to have fun!

This book club was formed back in January of 2008.  Since then, I have had the pleasure of meeting so many wonderful women from diverse backgrounds, cultures, and interests with the common desire to connect and meet new friends who also share the love of reading. Each member is encouraged to participate in discussions and selections of our monthly readings.  We typically read books from various genres, sometimes they are from the bestseller's list, sometimes they are not.  We meet once a month, …

If you are looking to get together once a month with other women and share what you enjoyed about the book we just read, then this is the place. My goal is to create some great long term friendships that develop over conversation and sharing who we are.

The American spiritual teacher Adyashanti's new book "The Way of Liberation" recommends people form study groups, and we are doing that.
