Reading this month: summer reading! I'm keeping it light and fun, with a side of cheesy. The Bookers can wait. Looking forward to seeing you at Astro's. I'll be in the back room with books on the table. Cheers, Lyssa

Where do you meet authentic, independent thinking gals, 45 and up, that are friendly, fun, stylish, intelligent and likes to read too? At the "Women With A View" friends with books Meetup Not pompous or too structured, and don't worry if you're not a big bookworm. Exchanging and sharing books is an easy way to meet kindred souls and forge new friendships in a safe, positive environment. We are women who like adventure, suspense, thrills and romance . . . in our books! A biography is good too! …

If you want a book club where we pick a book, have an outlined discussion and only talk about the book, this is not it! Most BOOK clubs are of the "You must read this specific book to hang out with us" variety. Our club, on the other hand, uses whichever title we've picked as more of a jumping-off point and we end up discussing a whole slew of different books, authors, and genres. Sometimes, the subject just goes into an off the wall place. You never know what we end up talking about or doing. T …

Valley Girls Tuesday Night Book Club is about enjoyable reading for women who want to experience good books--period.  Doesn't matter the author, genre or medium.  In fact, I would encourage you to try different media when reading.  Try a book on CD/tape every once and a while--as long as it's unabridged.  Makes those car rides go a lot faster!  I'm not a slave to having the author be a woman or it necessarily even about being 'women's issues' (whatever those are) but would like to pick interesti …

When we moved to the IE we realized that there are not any book clubs out here that cater to everyone, so we decided to start our own. The book club meets once a month on week day and Saturday evenings. Please only join if you are able to meet once a month and have the time to read one book. Every month we announce a genre that we will be reading from. We are constantly asking for reading suggestions from our members and then four of these suggestions within the genre are made into a poll to vot …

-------Latest --- Boy! has this group evolved!!! July 2012 I have settled in my home in Norco and I have adopted more girls and a disabled boy, so now I have 7 roosters and 30 hens! My hands are full and so my egg cartons! So I decided to start planning some meetings to swap eggs for fruits and veggies. I figured there are lots of people in the same boat... with too many of the same... and willing to trade... So this group is now more than just about chickens... it's very much about organic livi …

Orange County Science Readers is a book club for people who enjoy learning about the physical and social world through published science. The book club does not assume that readers have any prior experience with a given scientific subject; the only assumption is that readers genuinely find the topic interesting and that readers enjoy exploring their curiosities with others. While some (many) topics may warrant critical discussion, the primary purpose of this group is to have fun and to encourage …

This Meetup is designed for folks that want to learn certain functions of the digital / mobile / new media / entrepreneur and technology fields but haven't. Many people unsuccessfully enlist friends, take courses, read manuals or never pursue their passions or hobbies because they simply can't afford to, don't have time to or feel some sort of insecurity that holds them back. Apple has courses, there are plenty of great workshops, classes and online tutorials out there, however sometimes there a …

Well I think the group name does most of the describing, but the goal here is for people relatively the same age, to pick great books, meet up once a month and discuss them. I want to create a casual and fun atmosphere so that like-minded people can get together, meet people out of their circles, and have the intellectual stimulation that's void from so many of the encounters I've had with people out here in LA. We'll pick from a range of books, and meet wherever the group decides. Ideally, we'd …
