Girls only! This book club was founded over 5 years ago at a local publishing company between a few editors and ad sales reps. These gals wanted to share their thoughts and feelings about a recent books or articles, add it a little friendly gossip and enjoy local meeting spots; such as a wine bar, coffee shop or new pub/restaurant. After a few career changes, relocation's and the beginnings of new families, we broadened our wings and started a Meet Up group to attract new members. Current book s …

Life is too short... Life is too short to read boring books or to eat boring food at boring places or to do boring things! This is not the place for fuddy-duddies. This is the place for the calmly audacious. Dullsville has no place on our maps and our only four-letter word is YAWN. Here is where you are if you like your inner monologue at its' maximum potential. Here is where "these go to eleven". We welcome you to join us and help us to turn things all the way up!

We find ourselves never needing a reason to finish a bottle of wine but needing a little push to finish that book on the nightstand, even if it is a good one.  Join us on the third Monday of each month at the Rocky River Wine Bar for a book and wine meetup where we can all enjoy a good glass of wine and discuss the book of the month. NOTE: Due to many last minute cancellations, which keeps others who would have attended from being able to come, cancelling your yes RSVP within a week of the event …

Feeling like you lack the time or the inspiration to get started or finish your writing, whether it is a book, poem or series of short stories? Then this is the group for you. I find that it is hard with work and our busy schedules to find the time or the discipline (in my case) to finish pieces I have nearing completion or to begin new projects. I have been writing since I can remember and would like to turn those glowing embers into a fierce blaze again. We will generally meet the 2nd Tuesda …
