Remember all those great books that were forced down our throats in High School? Do you remember them with fond memories? No, of course not. We were all too young with other priorities to fully appreciate them. This is a book group that aims to remedy that by revisiting all the great classics. Books like The Great Gatsby, Moby Dick, Crime and Punishment, Wuthering Heights, and many many more. This is not high school, there will be no tests or forced questions, just book lovers and casual discuss …

Byrd's Books has a book club that meets the third Thursday of each month (except August). We read one book a month and meet in the Upstairs Gallery in Molten Java (across the hall from the bookstore) to discuss! This is an open group- anyone is welcome to attend. We notify through Meet-Up, Facebook and direct email. Please visit our website, ByrdsBooks.com, for more details on the bookstore and the Book Group.

Hello to all you Lovely Ladies out there! This Book Club is for women who love spending time with the girls. It's about building friendships, spending quality time with fantastic women, and reading & discussing some great books. :-)

This is a book club for everyone who loves to read!  Nonfiction books are a great way to expand your horizons and learn something new.  Talking about books is also a great way to spend time with friends and make new ones. Every month we will choose a different book from recommendations made by our members.  I look forward to receiving lots of suggestions. At each discussion, a $1 donation will be collected to cover the cost of the Meetup website.

I started this group because I love to read Sci-Fi and Fantasy books, but I rarely have anyone to discuss them with. I've only been in CT for a few months, and I would love to meet like-minded individuals that I can have fun with and also share my love for the fantastical.

Meet kindred book lovers in a local Meetup Book Club! We are a mix of guys, gals, recently graduated, and recently retired. You will read and discuss an eclectic mix of fiction (historical, sci fi/fantasy, humorous, etc.), non-fiction, old, and new. One caution: Oprah's not running this!

Hmm...a new book or a new friend? Why not both? Come meet new people and discuss a new book every month in The Capital Region Avid Reader Meet-Up Group. (We are aiming for a 20-30s age range but everyone is welcome! )

After this group was begun by another organizer, I took over in the spring of 2012 so that a group of individuals who enjoy reading can share ideas. It's interesting to hear different view points from the group about the people's/character's personalities, the settings, and the topics in general. We have had some great discussions about the author's craft. In the past we have drifted toward biographies; any titles and suggestions from the group are welcome!  Debbie Parker

All those who enjoy a good novel, past or present, plus some yummy baked goods. I would love to meet with all that love a good read and swap recipes for baked goods, savory and sweet. I am starting this group because I love reading, but I truly feel my best when I create or just eat some good baked goods. No need to bake if that's not your thing. You can bring something that looks yummy from a local bakery or restaurant. So come on Upper Valley peeps, let's meet and discuss a great book. We can …

Meet kindred book lovers over dinner in a social setting! Come to laugh, share stories and make new friends! Let's learn what books we all like together. Fiction or non-fiction, paperback or hardcover, audio you will read a new book every month.

Life is nutty. As an active parent and community member, I find it hard to get all the spiritual food and fellowship I need, and my nights are booked! Looking to get together with others who yearn for more of that soul nourishing time with other Christians to (loosely) discuss a pre-set book once or twice a month over lunch.

Specifically, I wanted to meet readers and gamers who were a bit more local to me. In general, I wanted to create a casual venue for fun, interesting, and knowledgeable people to interact. Book club and gaming meetups will be held at GET REAL BOOKS, 4627 Rte 209 Accord, most of the time. We may also meet at local special events and movie theaters. I am a science and SF fan, and would like to meet like minded people. But, not exclusively... Members should suggest book clubs in any genre, ... as w …

The first rule of the Cult Fiction Club: you do not talk about the Cult Fiction Club. What is a cult book? 1. A book that is not a bestseller, or has been out of print for some time. 2. A book that inspires a small but vocal following. 3. A book that touches on topics that are in some way unusual, different, outre, even dangerous. 4. A book that inspires change, thought or action. 5. A book that is, above all else, well written. Every month, The Cult Fiction Club selects one book fitting all or …

This group will share ideas around bringing mindfulness into our own lives and the lives of the children in our own home, schools and community. Together we will become more aware of how our presence or lack of it effects not only ourselves, but the children in our homes, schools &/or community. Together we will share and discuss ideas of how to bring this present awareness into the lives of the children we are in contact with.

We are an easy-going group of people who want an excuse to get out of the house more, and talk about books, eat some food, drink some drinks, do some book swapping, etc. Our meetings take place on the first Monday of each month, at Forbes Library in Northampton. We meet downstairs, in the Community Room, at 7 pm. Our friendly librarians reserve the following month's book selection; just ask at the desk.

A book club for members of the Capital Region who want to explore new ideas, meet new people and enjoy tasty beverages.

Connect with others who want to read and discuss the Bhagavad Gita and be supported in spiritual community. At each meetup, we'll read specific verses and an unfoldment that not only makes them highly accessible--to both Indians and Westerners--but also connects the teaching to daily life. My experience is that it is both practical and transformative. If you practice yoga, kirtan, or meditation and would like to know the teaching behind them, or if you read on your own, come share and deepen in …

"Mind Spa" for women is about going inward and challenging the way we think about things. All around us things are changing, from the economy, to our communities, family and work. We have a choice to resist these changes with out dated thinking or, we can embrace today's challenges with a new sense of curiosity and awareness. A mind that is regularly exercised and expanded, becomes free of judgment towards ourselves and others and instead is filled with compassionate thoughts and a wanting to be …

This group offers a forum for writers to learn and exchange practical information they need to get published. Members gather to ask questions and give advice about every stage of the publishing process, from writing a manuscript to querying an agent to negotiating a contract. While there are many groups for writers out there, most focus exclusively on the craft of writing, while failing to address the practical information that publishers really care about and that can make or break a book deal. …
