"My sister and I are avid readers. After exploring this site and seeing how popular ChickLit type groups are, we decided it might be fun to start our own. My sis works at Barnes and has an "In" to all the good ChickLit books coming out. So we hope to have some really good books to read and discuss. Also we hope to meet some new friends in the Portland area." Above is the description that I wrote when the group was first started. Since then my sister started culinary school (while working full ti …

Wine country is amazing, but we were lacking a book club which fueled me with the idea to start a casual monthly book club.  We are a small group who enjoys good books, great restaurants, and even better conversation.  Each month, a different member "hosts" the meeting.  It is up to that person to choose our book, the restaurant to meet at, and lead our discussion.  Any book is fair game (we have read mysteries, historical fiction, memoirs, and much more to come) and any restaurant is open to us …

Sorry men, this book club is intended for ladies only!   ***WE ARE CURRENTLY FULL!!*** I'm keeping the group limited, but if a couple of people drop out (which will su …

There are others book clubs around but they are already full or well established. I would like to have just 10-12 ladies that want to share with others the books they enjoy.

I am looking for women who love to read and share the story with others. Who want to be in a book club, and don't feel they fit in any of the other groups.

Well, I for one, love to read. I would also love to take reading to the next level with a little discussion. I have a few things in mind for this book club: 1) Read some stuff. Obvs. 2) Use some brain power to think and discuss. 3) Meet other Portland women in my age range (early 30s). 4) Have a nice evening once a month despite rain clouds. 5) Maybe have a glass of wine/beer? Hmmm? Or tea.  Who's with me?
