This is a book club for those interested in reading, and discussing books from classy to trashy, from lit to written by a half-wit, and everything between... and some social libation. Non-drinkers welcome as well!

So what's the worst part of most book groups? Being forced to read a book you simply don't want to read. And what's the best part: getting all those great book recommendations! In this meet up, we're going to dispense with the book *reading* and go straight to the recommending ... and we'll do it with a game I call the "Book Auction". Each participant brings 2 of their favorite books (1 fiction, 1 non-fiction) -- these can be books off your shelf, or new purchases from a store. At the door, ever …

Back by popular demand... First, thanks for taking the first step in joining a special group of ladies who love to read, chat, over enjoy a glass of wine. I initially started this group two years ago because I am a book junkie who was looking to join a book club in the area and found none. After a year on Facebook, I decided it was time to take the group back were it all started. We read mostly contemporary lit, but do mix it up every so often with a classic. This is the book club for anyone who …

Don’t you hate trying to get to know new people at a book club, but then you don’t see them again for a month…. Two Tuesday’s is a Book and Social group for 20/30 something women to get together every other week. We will try to read 1 book a month and plan 1 social event (movie, dinner, cocktails, potluck, shopping, bowling, hiking, whatever you want… this is YOUR group!) Your suggestions are encouraged, your opinion is valued and your repeat attendance will make this group fun and successful! I …

I am new to Berkeley via San Diego (via Bay Area, via Seattle, via Philadelphia, via Santa Barbara :) and looking to meet some new girlfriends. I started and was a member of a book club in San Diego and had a blast. We actually had a great group of girls who ended up being friends- reading, going out, running races, together, etc! I'd like to recreate something similar here in Berkeley/Oakland! This group is for ladies only (sorry boys) in their mid 20s/mid 30s (roughly!) who are looking to meet …

Hi there fellow 40-somethings, I created this group when I first moved to Marin County from Southern California and it was a great way to make friends. Now I'm in Berkeley and wanted to start one here. The name of the group speaks for itself, I don't stick with a theme of books to read; one month we may read a mystery, another month a classic, the next...well, you get the idea! We'll have one scheduled book club meeting each month and I'll also schedule meetups in between to attend a literature …

Join us for discussions of non-fiction titles!  Preference is for shorter books 350 pages or less, but all are welcome suggestions.

The Midtown Booze & Book Club is the book club "for the rest of us". We aim to be a diverse group of readers who gather together for libations and lively discussion. We want to read books which are clever and sometimes funny. Everything from Bukowski to Burroughs (William AND Augusten), from Roach to Reichl, from Nin to well, Miller. Exploring new and old, off the beaten path books, not always your "award winning" reads. We meet on the second Tuesday of each month (and sometimes more, if we feel …

Are you looking for a book club, social club, group of friends, sisterhood, and support system? Ladies that will laugh, cry, and grow with you? Sista's Book / Social Club is all of the above and more! We are opening up membership to this dynamic organization's  Bay Area Chapter. This organization is not a fly-by-night group;  We are black women who share the common goal of uplifting one another. Whether you are young, old, a mom, a wife or single you will have a blast with the support of your si …

So this year we are celebrating 60 years with 007. Sure, Skyfall is a great movie, but what about the books? We'll be reading Ian Fleming's books starting with Casino Royale. Sure we'll talk about the movies: George Lazenby et al but it'll be fun to actually read the original intents. The locales of these books run the gamut from Las Vegas to London to Istanbul to Jamaica to Mahe Island. Hopefully we can find bars/restaurants that correspond to the locales and rap.

This is group is for thirty-something women who want to make new girlfriends and get together for activities in the San Francisco area. Late 20s to late 30s welcome! Let's meet for music, drinks, hikes, or anything else that sounds fun. The events will be small to encourage getting to know each other better and make friendships both at events and outside of Meetup.

This is a book club for woman who love to read a wide range of books. Each month we will read a book selected by our members.  We we will be meeting the 2nd Wednesday of each month at a coffee shop in Midtown, but this can change as we get to know each other and grow more comfortable, possibly even sharing our homes with each other. I would like this group to develop into a group that meets to discuss the books we are reading while having fun and socializing. We don't have to have a super seriou …

This group is for people whom enjoy reading all types of books. Anything from a NY Times best seller to an old classic. There is no genre that will be ignored. The group is also for those who enjoy an adult beverage or two while discussing the merits of a good novel. We will meet monthly at various locations in midtown, Curtis Park, and Land Park.

Small groups will get together to read aloud to one another and appreciate the written and spoken word (and simply have a good time). Each person brings a short selection (fiction, poetry, nonfiction, whatever). Folks also bring drink and nibbles to share. Fancy or not. Meetings will vary; formats will evolve. My small kitchen will be the setting for some events; perhaps others will volunteer their kitchens as well. We may also decide to have thematic events, such as reading appropriate selectio …

A group of Sonoma County food and literature lovers who gather to cook, drink discuss and live.

This group is for adult women who love young adult (or "YA") media of all types. Whether you love books, movies, or television shows, this group is for you!!

This is a group for women in their 30s who feel they are going through major transitions in life, i.e., career, family, new home, friendships/relationships, spirituality, etc. As a woman in my 30's, I definitely experienced this transition and I am still going through it now. It seems that the 30's is such an important stage in life when you are redefining yourself, establishing yourself and asserting who you are as an adult in the world. My purpose in creating this group is to create a space fo …

Looking for a casual book club that doesn't feel like homework? Look no further! This club will be meeting twice a month, but each meeting will be unique in its own way. The first meeting of the month will be your conventional book club, where the group reads the same book and we discuss our thoughts. Book genre will be open and books will be chosen by a majority vote at the meetings. The main request would be for those attending to actually have read or are almost finished reading the book. The …

I'm hoping to combine two things that I love: Literature and discussion about literature that takes place in a relaxed cafe atmosphere (nothing too fancy here & drinking is optional). A nice way to meet other literature lovers and smart conversationalists. Come and join the fun and expand your horizons a bit when it comes to literature! I need motivation at times to complete my reading list and maybe you do too? I'm a fan of classic literature (think Aeschylus, Dostoyevsky, Mann, Balzac, Cervant …

We are a group of 20/30 Something's that will meet once a month to talk about a new book, fiction or non-fiction...anything goes! We will meet for dinner and drinks and talk about the book and anything else that interests us. In between meetings we will meet up for movies, drinks, walks or whatever we want.

Are you a queer theory nerd? Let's meet up to read and talk about queer theory, drink wine/coffee/kombucha/beverage of your choice and meet new friends.  All genders and sexualities welcome.  Meetings will be in the East Bay.

Meet other apocalypse sci fi lovers over drinks at various cozy bars in the city! Each month we will read a book with an apocalyptic setting picked by either the organizer or voted upon by members. P.S. Some people have asked about what the 1.00 fee is/how is it used.... Most meetup events charge a low fee because meetup costs to start a group. (when an organizer makes a group they have to pay before it is posted. This fee helps reimburse me for the money I paid, as well as cutting down on …

This diverse group meets in the city of San Francisco about once a month. We welcome suggestions and encourage voting about what types of books to read and what types of venues to drink in. (If you decide to join, please check out the polls and vote!) (Polls can be found under the "More" tab at the top, just below our Group Name.) We are very informal, meaning you are encouraged to come to a meetup even if you haven't finished the book, or haven't started it! It's Booze first and Books second, s …

Have you ever heard of Naked Girls Reading? It’s a group of ladies who enjoy giving readings of various works to a large audience au naturel. The group originated in Chicago two years ago when the founder’s husband caught his naked wife lying in repose focused intently on her book. At that moment, both agreed that there was something amazingly powerful about reading sans culottes. As a PhD literature grad student and a nudist, I have been doing this for years! And now, I think it’s the perfect t …

We're a social club catering to a slightly nerdier crowd. We have both indoor and outdoor adventures, geared for "indoor" people (i.e. any level of fitness.) The IAC is mostly made up of people in their 20s and 30s, but all adults are welcome. We have outings of some kind at least twice a month. Outdoor we might do a pub crawl or hang out at one of our many local bodies of water, and indoor may mean board game nights or a trip to a comedy club. Come join us and experience all the great things th …
