We're a book club primarily, reading contemporary fiction and some YA or whatever else we vote for each month!  We like good food and book discussions and try to combine the two as often as possible.  But we're also an Alamo Drafthouse sing-alongs, costume drama parties, movie nights, plays, concerts, Bookpeople events, whatever else you can think of, club. I've been in Austin about two years, and this club has been a (social) life-saver.  I've made amazing new girlfriends, and I can't wait to m …

Who Am I? I wanted to make this group because I am so busy with kids and work that I am neglecting my favorite hobby: READING! Who Should Join? If you are a mom with young kids who loves to read and wants to make some close friends through the coming years, then this is the place for you!  I narrowed the area to Cedar Park/Leander so that none of us would have too far to drive.   You're welcome to join from other areas if you're willing to come up here for the meetings. What About The Books? T …

This is a group for individuals interested in reading science related topics and lively discussions. We also thought we'd read a little sci fi now and then as science is fueled by imagination, isn't it? We started this group to socialize and meet fellow book lovers. We're looking forward to meeting all of you--

If you love great books, talking about great books and authors, and sharing and learning about new authors over good coffee, good food & good wine- this is the meetup group for you! I know there are plenty of book clubs in Austin, am in fact a member & event organizer of a great one already, and it inspired me to start another book club for Austin Women! I'm hoping to have a one Saturday afternoon a month meetup about the book voted on, and maybe throw in a few extra meetups a month just for fun …

Real Writers is called Academic because it is designed to be like a workshop you would take at a big university, where the instructor would take seriously the fundamentals of literary techniques and straightforward criticism about member writing in order to understand those techniques. Real Writers is a literary workshop in which substantial literary ideas are developed in order to facilitate 'real' writing both in the form of literature and in related media. Any writer or artist could potential …

This is a prayer, Bible study, and fellowship group for young women in Austin (20s and 30s) who have a progressive world view. I am liberal, but also take my Christian faith seriously. I feel like too often people think that those two things cannot exist in the same person. It's been hard to find others like me, but I feel certain you are out there in Austin. I want to create a community of supportive women where we can study the Bible together (and admit where it doesn't make sense to us, and t …

We are the Geeks. We are Whovians, Browncoats, Techies, Trekkies (Classic and NextGen), Jedi Knights, LARPers, board gamers, video gamers, B5ers, comic book fans (both DC and Marvel), and more.

We share visions of brighter futures and worlds of adventure. We share a passion for figuring out new strategies and trying out new solutions. We share a love …

Curious about Misty Curious?  This group is named after my nickname...because as you might guess, I am insatiably CURIOUS. I've worked to create a COMMUNITY that fosters growth, learning, and friendship. What are we up to in 2013? I'm really focused on reading books that will improve my quality of life.  I personally like to read one to two books per month and will break the books into parts for easier reading. I do hope you'll join us! Misty

Calling all Nerdfighters! We don't care if you are in Austin, Dallas, El Paso, or Alaska. All Nerdfighters welcome. I saw 1,100 of you at the Austin book signing (Jan 2012) of John Green's "The Fault in Our Stars" and was shocked that there is not an Austin Nerdfighter group. Austin Nerdfighters are focused on the reducing worldsuck part of Nerdfighteria. We each have a small role to play, wouldn't it be nice to have a group to talk about it with? This chapter will be primarily to support fe …

*This group is currently limited to attendees of Carrie's 2011 Fall workshop*  Let's build on what we started at Carrie's class.  We can post discussions on the message board like suggesting books to read, topics to discuss at our next play-date and ask for suggestions on new challenges that come up.  Maybe you know of a cool lecture or event coming up.  Feel free to post that or other ideas for gathering too.  I think there's even a feature to take a poll.
