This is a club for book lovers in the Toronto area. Love for beer is optional. We meet once a month at a pub, or at a member`s house, whichever is convenient.

The Athena Collective Book Club was created to offer women ages 20-40 an opportunity to socialize and share their love for reading. As well as our monthly Book Club meet-ups, we will also organize social events.

Becoming an engaged reader requires commitment and intellectual curiosity, but the rewards are great. The IAM Readers Guild is designed to allow readers to interact with others in their own community as well as the wider IAM global community, and to learn a “deeper empathy” through experiencing great writing that wrestles with big ideas in many cultural contexts. Each month, groups around the world will meet to discuss the book of the month, beginning with a list of questions that will be sent t …

I want to connect authors with their readers. If you love books, and would love to meet your favourite authors, here's your chance! I'll plan bookclub-style events at cafes in the GTA, where you can come to meet and chat with real authors. Email me if you have any suggestions. Join if you love reading and want to hear about the latest books, and meet other booklovers.

We are a group of mothers with babies and toddlers who enjoy reading just about anything. We operate like a standard book club, but we bring our babies to our meetings with us.  We all do!  We read books, but we also read articles, listen to books on tape, etc. Mothers with babies or toddlers are welcome to come to meetings with your infants.  What a convenient way to both care for your child (nurse them too if you like!) and talk about grown-up books at the same time!   As of April 2012 our mee …

This group is a book club with a twist. It is a book club for writers. Why are some books popular? What makes them bestsellers? What can we as writers learn from these books? I started this book club because traditional book clubs are too vanilla for me. If you are a committed writer, then this meetup is for you. Each month, we will chose a work of fiction and examine it from the perspective of a writer (and not from the perspective of an English literature professor). The idea is to find inspir …

Lets get together to compare ideas on the current bestsellers list over a lunch and early afternoon during the week.

The purpose of this group is to learn and help one another recover from shame-related issues such as perfectionism, unrealistic expectations, body image, and self worth (to name a few).  Our primary focus is to explore the ideas in Brene Brown's books "The Gifts of Imperfection" and "I thought it was Just me" (read this one first). You should join the group if you want to learn more, share your stories, or find kindred spirits to take this journey with you. Not sure if this is the right thing fo …

This a group for individuals enjoy reading both fiction and non fiction. John

… Bring passages from novels, poems, short stories, essays, children's books, journalism, folklore, drama, scripture, criticism, speeches, history, anecdotes, screenplays, memoirs, anything celebrating words.   Writers who want to read their own work are encouraged to do so; those who'd rather just listen without reading are also welcome. Some events we can devote to a theme (e.g. ghosts and gothic writing in October, opening passages), but much of the time it'll just be "pot luck."

Do you love a good mystery? Are you looking to meet other like-minded literary types who love a good puzzler? Come on out and join us for good times and good talk about your favourite genre.
