Welcome to the Milwaukee Chick Lit Meetup Group. We started this group in an effort to have fun, drink wine and talk about our favorite books. We organize meetups in different areas of Milwaukee and are eager to hear your recommendations. We also swap books that we have already read and use them to explore a new world! We meet once a month, usually a week night, downtown or in the Third Ward. Meeting locations are restaurants where we can have a drink and bite to eat while we chat. We love to r …

If you love a good book discussion but sometimes it feels like a school assignment to finish the book in time and/or maybe read a book you really don't want to read then this is the book group custom made for you. We get together one Tuesday evening a month, every member brings a favorite book of hers to share, either one she has read very recently or one from the past that will not be forgotten. This is a great way to meet new friends and at the same time add to that "to be read" list. We do in …

Project FINISH is an inspiring new group for everyone out there who’s sitting on an important, back-burner, “maybe someday” project and wants to finally make it happen. It’s for everyone who needs that special brand of kick-in-the-pants that only a group of total strangers can provide. It’s for those of us who may have been waiting for: -that exhilarating, magical flash of inspiration -things to settle down at work -the kids to graduate -ourselves to graduate -enough time -enough money - …

We are a group of open-minded, multi-dimensional, multi-cultural young people who don't fit into one single "label" of conventional society. We love recycling, growing organic food, camping and traveling. We love tattoos, craft beer, intelligent song lyrics and vintage eyewear. We love DIY craft projects as much as we love Renaissance sculpture and avant garde painting. We love discussing politics, geography and the latest trends in web design. We love classic literature, video games, foreign fi …

Hmm.. Child of the 80s Book Club.  What does that mean?!  Do we have Judd Nelson over for poetry readings?  Is it necessary to wear black spangly bracelets and quote Madonna?  Do we choose to read the biographies of John Hughes and Joy Division? No! "Child of the 80s" is more a time frame state-of-mind. In other words a) you want to read great books that open you up to new ideas/literature/feelings/art; b) you enjoy diverse people; c) you are somewhere between post-college and Medicare (although …

Celebrate your freedom to read! BANNED! is the perfect book club for anyone who enjoys reading and thinks that literary censorship has gone a little too far. We will be working through the Banned and Challenged Book list from the Radcliff Publishing Course Top 100 Novels of the 20th Century as well as the NCTE Banned and Challenged Book list and will be discussing not only the book, but why it has been banned or challenged in the US and if we agree that it should be banned from our libraries and …

Well you can be all three and …

A group for those who have graphic novels and comics sitting on their shelves and are willing to swap books with others. Whether you are looking to complete your collection, part with your old comics, or just want to try out something new, this group might work for you. I'm starting this group because I have quite a few comics and graphic novels which I have enjoyed, but don't plan on reading again. Additionally, comics and graphic novels can be a pretty expensive hobby. While I will always supp …

This group is for anyone who loves YA, fantasy, paranormal, sci-fi, romance, chick lit or all of the above!!! Reading the book prior to a meetup is never mandatory, but be prepared for spoilers! Meetups will be scheduled once a month, maybe more in the future, at different locations around Oak Creek, Franklin and the surrounding areas. While this is primarily a book club meetups will include movies and other fun events that seem fitting as well! Book swaps are also encouraged to open everyone up …

This is a group for people who like reading, sharing, discussing, and (every once in a while) smelling books. What's that you say? There are already a bunch of book clubs, and you already know what you want to read? Well, I'd like to think that this one will knock those other clubs out of the water with our (forthcoming) charismatic, smart, funny crowd. It'll be a little more fluid in structure than those other clubs- people can read whatever book(s) they want, and all genres are welcome (though …

This group will meet on the last Sunday of every month from 1pm-3pm. Books for each month are picked by the group so please bring suggestions. This book club is for LGBTQ individuals. The books selected are focused directly or indirectly at the LGBTQ community. We also will have get-togethers on the 2nd Saturday night of each month for fun and just a basic night out. Whether it be to dinner, theatre, or other entertainment.

This is Book Club for those who have a passion for reading. We will select books that are simply so good you have to talk about it ! If you have a book you have read and you want to swap with someone that would be great too. If you have not yet read the book but have heard about it. We will read our fav parts and hopefully motivate you. Men and women ages 18 and up are welcome.

We're making reading a social activity. In this group, we'll gather for 'independent reading' time (my favorite part of elementary school!), outdoors when possible. The idea is very simple. Meet up, read together for a while and then follow up with discussion, reading suggestions and general mingling. We'll also have special 'literature-focused' events on occasion in which we hike, bike picnic, BBQ, etc., adjusting activities in the colder months of course. We'll do an optional book-club-type re …
