A book club is a great way to meet new people and share opinions. I have found book clubs to be both intellectually stimulating and emotionally supportive.  This is my second meetup book club and this group will be run by the memebers.  There is a wide range of books all suggested by members.  Anyone can suggest a meetup. If you have a book you would love to read/discuss then suggest a time and day for the meeting. Don't be shy, others will join you.  I will try to help with the organizing end, …
