We all have a lot to do and focus on, so why not have a group of ladies who enjoy chick lit books and being social, where it is just an escape! We can meet up, enjoy some fun books, some wine and food and just have a good time!  We are low on structure, high on fun.  We enjoy light books, and  and fun conversation! We alternate among "official" chick lit (but not too fluffy so we have something to talk about!) and more "serious" books. We meet once a month to discuss, talk, have cocktails and ma …

Do you ever read (or listen to) a book and just want to tell someone about it so you can laugh/cry/get emotional over it too? Me too. I love to read. And listen to books. And watch the movies of books that I can't get through. I really enjoying discussing what I liked and didn't like about books with some awesome people! And yeah, occasionally it's fun to talk about the themes and tone and antagonist, but sometimes it's just fun to talk about which actor would play which character in the movie. …

Love to read?  Love to spend time in a book store? Are books practically a line item in the family budget? If your answer is "yes," come meet your people. Two years ago, we began with three readers as the McKinney Fiction Book Club with our first book - Cutting for Stone, a novel by Abraham Verghese. We loved it with a great and fiery passion and have been on a quest to find contemporary literature just as good ever since. Along the way we started a Classics series.  Then we added some book-and …

It is time for the modern woman to change the game, guard your heart, and empower your life through the art of womanhood.

What better way to start the New Year with a book that will get you moving in the right direction.

Read a good book lately and want to share it with others? Do you prefer poetry, plays, or classical literature? Are you frustrated by the current political atmosphere and would like to discuss various political commentaries? Or are you a sucker for reading science, computer technology, or other research articles? How about autobiographies, biographies, or historical nonfiction/fiction? I believe there is something to learn in everything; I love to read and to discuss stories, philosophies, and i …

This group is created to review new books and discuss ways to improve the gender gap of women in executive positions.

Because of the diversity of professional levels that attend our group, it is also a wonderful networking opportunity for all participants. We meet the first Sa …

This Meetup was created for African American women who enjoy literature and cinema.

We will read a few "throwbacks" as well as more current books. …

There are so many wonderful groups in surrounding areas, but I've had a hard time finding one with local events in Collin County. I want to welcome ladies of all ages to join me for dinners around the area, coffee chats, wine nights, and book clubs.

Hopefully this will be a way for all of us to find those frie …
