Meet kindred book lovers in a stimulating, coed book club that meets in Bethesda and in NW, DC! This book club already existed and has members, but we'd like to have new members join and we have continued doing so throughout the time the book club has existed- new blood and thoughts help make the book club even more interesting and diverse. The age range of the group is between the late twenties to the late 40s and one must fill out the form (I know it's a pain) and be selected by the group to j …

Welcome to the Washington Chick Lit Meetup Group!   We started this group in an effort to have fun, drink wine, and talk about our favorite girly books. We have organized meet-ups in D.C. and Arlington. We also share books that we have already read and use them to explore a new world! We meet once a month in Penn Quarter and in Arlington, and you are free to create new branches of our group in other areas, too. While we primarily are a book club, we also schedule events for a variety of purposes …

Meet other book people in a local book club. We read a different genre of book each month, and decide together on the next month's book.

Come to share your opinions and observations, have something to eat and/or drink, and make new friends from the neighborhood.

Hey All,   This group is for the unabashed, un-ashamed, "read a good romance novel in one sitting," avid trash novel lover.   If you thought of the coming of the e-reader as some strange evil that was trying to steal your hoard of select titles, vintage library finds, and tag sale mini-miracles away, but have since found that... yes... OMG... this wonderful device means that you don't have to haul around and create space for your catalogued stash of romance novels... AND now you don't have to lo …

This book club is for people that want to read and discuss selected leadership books. The discussions will be facilitated by a leadership consultant and will be targeted toward people in mid to senior level management positions. This book club will meet the last Sunday of each month January - October 2012 at Il Fornaio Restaurant in Reston Town Center from 2 - 4 PM. Appetizers and drinks will be served at 1 PM. The book discussion begins at 2 PM.

The purpose of this group is to discuss books that we find we can't put down after the first reading.  We'll discuss the elements of the story that we most connect with. Drinking warm, soothing tea such as jasmine, oolong, mint, constant comment, green leaves with orange peel, or peppermint will enhance your discussion of what we will read. How comfy is that?  This group will appeal to diverse women in their 40's or 50's who enjoy laughing and crying over a good read. If you feel as if you would …

Like that old, soulful U2 rock anthem, do you sometimes find yourself singing "I still haven't found what I'm looking for?" Or maybe you find yourself “losing your religion" just like that classic R.E.M. song says.  But in either case, you definitely feel emotionally distant from the Christian spirituality and Sunday worship you grew up with.  Curious to find out why you’re having these feelings/thoughts?  But more importantly, curious if there is a better way to think about and practice faith?  …
