Calling all book lovers! I love books and I love talking about books. My vision for this book club is that we will all find opportunities to try new books we may not otherwise have read, go back and re-read some of your favorites, and have an open, judgement-free zone where we can talk books, books, and more books! This will be an alcohol-free group, and is open to both men and women. It certainly can be fun to talk about other things but I would like to emphasize actually discussing books at th …

Our mission is to support one another and fellows hip with others who share a common entity; reading.  We don't have a particular genre that we stick to because we want to expose ourselves to as much as we possibly can and we feel that the more variety we have, the more we learn.  We do, however, read book written primarily by and about African American's and others of African decent but are open to reading  almost anything. Our BC is primarily women but it is also open to men.

This group is for anyone interested in reading on subjects related to health/healing and spiritual matters.

Unlike most Book Club, members are not made to read and discuss the same book but can choose to read and sha …

We are poets and writers of short prose with a desire to share our work and derive motivation from the creativity of others. We are not a writing work shop or an avenue to publication. Although, in time we may become the basis for a local poetry magazine. For lack of a better description, we are "amateur" poets that are driven by our muse to give birth to the things we write and seek communion with others devoted to the creative process of putting words down on paper. Our mission is to bring loc …

I’m starting this group because (1) I enjoy reading military history and (2) I enjoy discussing books with smart people. I’d like to meet people with broad interests in military history who are willing to read and discuss books spanning all of human history, rather than a narrow focus on one conflict or era: there is something to be learned from any war, I think. We will meet once a month, to discuss the book we'd voted on. Ideally, one or two persons will serve as primary discussion leaders: p …
