If you love books and movies, why can’t you discuss both? I started South Bay Books and Movies because I wanted a club where people get together to discuss books and movies. In South Bay Books and Movies we will be spending time discussing fascinating books and movies while expanding our interests and not worrying about the details. We will meet every one to two weeks to discuss our book club selection and every three weeks to watch a movie and discuss it afterwards over dinner or late lunch. A …

Welcome! This is a fun social co-ed book club for people of all ages (must be 18 years or older) who love reading. I used to read quite a bit when I was younger and in school but as I started working I found that my time was very limited and slowly stopped reading. I'd like to get back into reading at least one book a month. I would like to start this book club in the South Bay, specifically the San Jose area because this is where I live, so that as I read I can share my ideas and comments to ot …
Immanuel Lutheran Church in Los Altos hosts this book discussion group for the South Bay community. All are welcome to join us in discussions about thought-provoking books.

We are looking forward to meeting you and hearing what you have to say!

Meetings are devoted to various genres, both contemporary and classic. Although the club is based in Berkeley, CA, book readers from any geographical area are welcome to join. The club's …
This is a meetup for queer-identifying folks to get together and read books together, talk about them, and socialize. (But we won't discriminate against any straight allies that may want to participate!) Books read in this meetup group will include multiple genres, and group participants will help decide what books will be read. While it is a queer-targeted book club, we will not be limited to queer-themed material (though such literature will have its place, as few other book clubs will incorp …

Good books and good food go hand in hand, I think! A not-taken-too-seriously sort of women's book group that also shuns your everyday "chicklit" - not because some aren't romping good reads but they don't exactly warrant full discussion. Meetings take place at a restaurant or establishment so we can all try new places. Also, if you don't quite get around to finishing the book (or reading it for that matter...no worries!). Just feel free to come to the meetings and socialize too. Quarterly, we …

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 …

So maybe it's OK if we don't always have time to finish the book... This group is for Moms and expectant Moms in Silicon Valley who want to grow their social circles. I work at Google, and after having our baby my husband and I moved to Palo Alto after a year in London and many years in San Francisco. I'm looking to develop a social circle down South, and I'm guessing there are many other people like me out there! In this book club, we choose a book and a thematically appropriate cuisine (e.g., …
