If you live nearby, want to read one book/month and then meet a fabulous, diverse group of smart, funny women to drink coffee/tea/whatever to chat about our book, this might be the group for you. Please: no spouses, no kids, no "I didn't read the book, but I came anyway, pass the bean dip." If your plans change after you've rsvp'd yes, please change your status to "not going." Otherwise, you'll be considered a "no show," which is a drag. After two no shows, you are subject to removal from the gr …

Membership in this group is currently closed.   WHO WE ARE We are lesbian/bisexual women in our late 30s to early 50s who love to read, discuss books, cook/enjoy good food, and socialize. We are friendly, intelligent, and respectful of different points of view. Since this is the kind of group that requires advanced planning (reading, preparing a home and food, and hosting), we encourage conscientiousness regarding RSVPs. Please record your decision to attend or not on the website by the …

We originally formed out of an evening at Bookshop Santa Cruz for those interested in a book group. Bookshop Santa Cruz gives us 10% off our selection for mentioning "Ravenous Readers" at the cash register. We meet the first Thursday of every month to discuss our book selection from last time. We're open to new members who are willing to come to meetings, bring their ideas for our next book choice, and discuss the book we've read. Come and meet others who are just as fascinating as you!

Do you have a love for reading fun and romantic books? Do you aspire to find your' own Mr. Darcy? Do you hide your Nora Roberts book between the pages of another so know one will see you're reading a paperback novel?! Ah-Ha! Then this is the group for you! This is a very light-hearted group geared towards finding friends who share a love for romance books and other popular novels (i.e. The Help, A Discovery of Witches etc.) We will vote on a book every month and "meet-up" to discuss it as well a …

Our monthly meetups are informal, fun & friendly! We alternate between fiction & non-fiction. Members nominate books & vote online (on occasion, a particular book will be hosted).

I am starting this group because I love to read books! I love to read mostly everything that catches my eye. The purpose for this group is to meet new friends that have the same passion. Also would love to hear what others have to say about the book after they read it. Each month we will decide on a book to read and then after reading it we would come together to discuss it. Again if a month is too long, we can meet more. Out of kindness to others, please if you are joining the group make sure i …

Thrillers are awesome! Well, some, right? I wanted to get a group of people together to read thrillers and talk about them. What we liked or didn't, how the story developed, why some things worked and not others, or compare them to other things we've read. This is not a brainy book club, it is meant to be fun, open minded and for people who like to express their opinion and don't get angry if others don't share it. I'm from Spain, so I'm super opinionated and differences in opinions will always …

Looking for fun activities in or around San Jose? Let’s form a group filled with smart, witty and kind people to have fun together. I was a member of a similar group when I was living in Atlanta, which resulted in wonderful memories and close relationships for many of the members. Following the “if you build it, they will come” idea, I thought I would try to start a similar group here. We typically would have several meetings per month and do a variety of events, mainly movies and book reviews. …

This group is for women who want to get together once a month to discuss books which primarily have a female protagonist. Alternate months the movies we will watch are fun and upbeat. Our venues range from downtown Santa Cruz to Capitola.

A new book club for fun-loving, intelligent gals who like to read and discuss non-fiction books. Meetings will occur at cafes, wine bars and/or restaurants, or in members homes throughout Santa Cruz County. At least half of each meeting will be devoted to book discussion, with the other half for socializing. Because this group is new, time and place for meetings will be determined based on members availability but will be set for a regular day/time each month. Processes for choosing books, leadi …

Welcome Chick-Lit (and Historical Fiction) Addicts! Inspired by the book "Shoe Addicts Anonymous" by Beth Harbison, I created this group so women with similar interests, within close proximity, could get together to share books they've enjoyed in the chick-lit genre. This group is perfect for the woman who lives within the Silicon Valley and can spare a night here, an afternoon there, and while the goal is to bond over books, we'll also get some much-needed girl time. Women who are open-minded, …
