This Book Club Meetup is open to everyone, that is interested in getting together and discussing books. The only thing that I ask as an organizer. If for you to be prepar …

We decided to combine two of our favorite activities--reading books and watching documentaries--to form a new fun book club for women in their mid 20s and 30s. Each month we will read a book and meet at a restaurant related to the setting of the book to discuss. Within the month, we will also watch a documentary related to some aspect of the book (e.g. culture, country, religion, etc.).  We are excited to get this group started and to meet lots of fun new people!!   A few ground rules for our gr …

If you want a book club where we pick a book, have an outlined discussion and only talk about the book, this is not it! Most BOOK clubs are of the "You must read this specific book to hang out with us" variety. Our club, on the other hand, uses whichever title we've picked as more of a jumping-off point and we end up discussing a whole slew of different books, authors, and genres. Sometimes, the subject just goes into an off the wall place. You never know what we end up talking about or doing. T …

(Formerly the Torrance Children's Book Writers) Whether you dream of becoming a published author, or whether you simply want to jumpstart your writing career, joining a writing group such as the Torrance Children's Book Writing Group will help you get started. Although our main focus is on writing for children, we welcome writers of all kinds, as well as those who love to read children's books (Middle Grade, Young Adult, Picture Books, etc). We will share tips, lessons, and learnings on …

Sick Minds is not your traditional/original book club. No romance novels, best sellers, Oprah's list or tear jerking books allowed. This book club will be reading bizarre and entertaining  books that are also humorous and sometimes considered disturbing to the common folk. Death: A Life by George Pendle is one example. It is a humor book written in a memoir style about Death.  One of my sons helped me name the group after I was trying to define a sick mind. He actually did something sick that I …

This book club meets once a month on Thursday and has been going strong for almost 2 years. We are a group of women interested in talking about current issues and meeting other like-minded people. We read a variety a books but most tend to have a general theme (we generally choose our books from the NPR or New York Times Bests …

You’ve experienced the page turner. The book that’s so compelling it forces you to silence calls, stay up later than your early morning permits, and respond in a brusk and irritated tone to any and all commitments calling you away from the story. A story that’s so good, it makes you want to do something about it. Who’s up for a book club that’s one part reading, one part discussion, and one part action? Let’s read Bukowski one month and hold our discussion in the central library that Bukowski fr …

  Are you an open minded, fun and cool woman?  Are you looking for a good book discussion? Do you care about social activism? If so, we are the book club FOR YOU!  You'll read a different book every month, from a long ago lost "Classic" to the "It" book flying off the shelves (and everything in between).  We are active in the community, making book donations to the local Libraries, giving money to charities.  We also may have a meeting once a month between our traditional meetings just to catch …

If one of the many things you miss from college are the class discussions of books that either moved you or that you thought were complete trash then this group is for you! This group is for people who have recently graduated or just people in their 20s or early 30s who would like to get together once or twice a month over drinks or coffee to discuss a book we all read together. First book recommendations are welcome and then we can decide the next book choices at the meetups. I thought this wou …

A book discussion group for members and friends of the GLBT community. Although the focus here is on reading and discussing books of specific interest to the community, we will read books from other genres, as well. We'll meet on the first Friday of every month to discuss our current selection and select a book for the following month. We'll also schedule occasional MeetUps at museums, concert venues, and restaurants. Whatever strikes our collective fancy.

Lovers of the mystical and metaphysical, and those mildly curious are welcome to join! There are various topics that fall under mystical and metaphysical interests. Together we can choose books that teach us about the spiritual and the magical in our world and beyond. The idea is to meet monthly to discuss a book, topic, or chapters of a book. We welcome even those who didn't read or didn't finish. Books are our springboard for information and conversation. Members of this book club are encourag …

Like books? Like to talk about life, happiness, and the occasional paper-cut from books? (or bruised toe for you kindle and nook readers.) This is the group for you. We are a diverse group of race, age, and gender who have one come together for one common interest - books. Yet in exploring the stories or history together, we discover we have so much more in common as well. We don't follow one genre or one author but try to find new areas to branch into each month. We also don't break the stories …

This group was created to bring together individuals who read books for substance and ideas. This group is open to artists, musicians, scientists, engineers, and anyone who likes to examine and exchange ideas, respect others' opinions, and is open to learning something from others. We find we get together to discuss what might otherwise be serious topics, but we end up laughing a lot, because it's such a joy to express ourselves and share our ideas...and go off topic now and then. We currently h …

We are here to make new friends through books. We meet up regularly at a restaurant, a cafe, a park etc. to exchange books with each other. If you have any book you already read and you are ready to give it away, bring it with you to our next meetup, get a new book and connect with new friends!! Along our book connection with each other's great company, let's also enjoy some great food in a restaurant, or at a picnic. We are currently reading the following book and we will be having meetups to d …

I decided to start this group through Meetup to recruit people from the local area who are interested in reading and discussing good books. The purpose of the group is to meet once or twice each month for friendly, but lively conversations about books, (fiction and non-fiction,) plays, poems or otherwise that group members have recommend. We might even throw in a movie now and again. The group will be based in Redondo Beach but people from further away are welcome. The group is open to men and w …
