We are fans of all things in the horror genre. We do movie screenings, horror themed plays, tours, readings, discussion sessions, etc.

New to New York? Or just want to discuss great books with like minded friends? This group was started because there's nothing better than sharing a great book. Come to laugh, have fun and exchange stories over a glass or two! From the humble beginnings of a few avid readers meeting once a month in London in 2008, The Girly Book Club network now extends around the world and would be delighted to welcome you, wherever you are! Join us in Denver, Colorado Join us in London, England Join us in Oklah …

A book group for people in Sunnyside and Woodside, Queens (or those who want to come here). Any age, any gender, is welcome. This is a group for people who want to meet others every month or two to talk about a book we've all read (or mostly read. We know, sometimes you hate a book and you just can't finish it. Come tell us how much you hated it and why!), and get to know people near you.

What's better than holding a brand new book in your hand? Tipping back a glass with other book lovers right after buying it. The NYC book and pub crawl consists of three easy steps: meet at a local independent bookstore, buy a book, then meet at a local bar nearby to hang out with fellow bibliophiles.

Are you a lover of historical fiction books, period movies,or TV shows? If you are then this meet up is for you. We will choose a novel to read each month and also get together for other related activities. I welcome suggestions from all members!

A group of thinkers who want to get together to explore compelling works of literature, philosophy, history, etc. The books are chosen based on their merits as thought-provokers.

This book club will cover great literary works such as Hemingway, Dickens, Shelley, Bronte, Milton, to more recent authors like...humm...let me think--okay---let's face it, English degree = reading lots of dead authors. But really, let's read some great classics, and a little new stuff too. :) This group is aimed at 25-35 year-old people (give or take a few years) who like to get together over drinks or a meal and have critical discussions about the classics. Please read on to find out how we r …

Welcome! This group is for women in the Jersey City area in their mid-20's to 30's to who love to read all different types of books and are looking to make new friends! The plan is to select a book each month to read, then get together at a local restaurant or bar to discuss over a glass of wine.  Ideally, we will keep the meetups small and get a core group together that meets every month!

Inspired by a recent story in the Wall Street Journal, about a long-running reading group in which the members read books aloud -- 35 or so pages a meeting -- they've read Dickens, Milton, Tolstoy, Faulkner, the Brontes, Eliot, Austen. In addition to the book we're reading (our first is The Transit of Venus), we've begun meetings by reading other short pieces or poems.

The Breakdown: We read good books. We're looking for other intellectually curious, like-minded 20somethings (a vague guideline) in Astoria (another vague guideline) to read them with us, share some food, drink, and sweet convo. The Criteria For Choosing Said Good Books: Magical language (with a healthy dash of magical realism), fresh voices (love a debut) irreverent to painfully relevant, growing up, growing old, dying, coming back to life, urban culture to Southern idyllicy, savory books that y …

I decided to start the group because I cannot find a book club that assigns books that are more to my liking. So I am hoping to find other girls who will enjoy the type of books I love to read. I read both fiction and non fiction, but my main interest is stories that touch upon specific things: feminism, sexuality, mental health, etc. So join my group if you are looking to stay local in Brooklyn, like to drink and like to read.

I'd love book clubs if it wasn't for the reading. This club is about reading captivating articles of modest length, and then chatting about them over a drink. Articles can be about whatever we want: corruption, religion, Jesse Ventura, high school popularity, etc. We meet in Manhattan, usually in Union Square, the East Village or LES.

Remember when you were a kid and comics were awesome? Well they still are. Actually, they're much better now. If you don't already know that then you need to come to the next Meetup. We're going to use this group to explore all genres for comics, trade paperbacks, and graphic novels and then discuss them over a few drinks.

If you love books, bars, and meeting people from the neighborhood, please join me in starting a new UES book club! The Upper East Side Book and Pub Club will meet once a month, have fun and lively discussions about a variety of books (voted in by members), and enjoy and support the local pubs. Both women and men alike are welcome, but you have to live between 59th & 96th Street, 5th Ave & East End.  Update 9/5/12: New Rule, we are getting so much interest outside of the area from some amazing fo …

Each month, we will read and discuss and/or write about a great classic written by various American or European authors. Some of these books we may have read as children or teens, others may be new to us, but all have had a significant impact on readers around the globe and are worth a read, or even a second read. We will meet at a coffee/tea shop or a wine bar each month to discuss the book of the month and share anything we have written about the book, if designated as an optional assignment.

Calling all Murakami Nerds! This is a book club for fans of Japanese writer Haruki Murakami, author of Norwegian Wood, 1Q84, and more. Each month, we will get together and discuss one of his novels. We'll also have Murakami-themed events with food, music, and performance art. Anyone wanting to get together and share appreciation of this amazing writer is welcome!

So here's the deal: Let's get together once/month over food or drinks to discuss a work by a Nobel Prize Winner. The books will tend to be thought-provoking, so we should have some pretty engaging and passionate discussions. You don't need to be an English major -- just open-minded, friendly, and willing to get dirty with some heavy-duty literature. This is a new MeetUp, so I'll definitely be open to suggestions regarding the best way to organize our meet ups. Here's what the current plan is: Ea …

This is a group for anyone interested in sharing some girl-time with an awesome group of women! I love hanging out with my girlfriends, but they're all getting married and having less and less time for get-togethers! Members of this group live in NYC, are women ages 22 to 32, and are looking to form some lasting, genuine friendships. Let's get together for movie nights, street fair browsing, shopping, coffee, walks, dinners out, chick-lit reading, people watching in the park, manicures, sportin …

If you are looking for a serious book club in which they discuss the deep meaning of the books please note this is not the one for you. We are a fun, sometimes serious, most times not so serious book club. We all enjoy reading (well of course we do) and have read some very good books and unfortunately a couple not so good books. Our discussions can last from five minutes to an hour and it really depends upon the book. We read primarily contemporary fiction, but we're open to anything. Some of ou …

A once monthly group for queer literature discussing, new friend making, old friend seeing, and cocktail drinking... Every month we will choose a queer themed book to focus the next meeting on. No need to be queer or lesbian to take part, but know that you'll be subject to some sensual lady on lady literature, regardless. Feel free to invite friends! The more the merrier!

We are a book club of women (mostly early 30s, some older, some younger) who have been meeting for about four years, but many of our members have moved out of the City so we're hoping for some new people to join. We usually discuss a book every 4-6 weeks over dinner, and read everything from chick lit to nonfiction; all suggestions are welcome. Please join us!

We're an already established group of amazing women who have been together in our book club for about 4 years. We are all good friends, but have decided that it's time to meet some new people, and add some new members to our lovely group. HOpefully that's YOU! we're all late twenties/early thirties, work and live in New York City/ Brooklyn, work hard, play hard, love to dine out, in, and of course, get together to drink wine, eat cheese, and discuss books. This is a fun, easy going group. We tak …

“Too much of anything is bad, but too much good whiskey is barely enough.” ― Mark Twain This group is all about whisky and books but feel free to bring a cigar!

Do you like to read novels written for those young at heart? Do you find yourself gravitating towards the YA section at the bookstore? This book club is for people in the New York City area who considers reading YA Novels a guilty pleasure. We know they are are technically published for those younger than ourselves, but we just can't help it! Each month we will vote for a new YA novel and then come together to discuss and meet new people.

Share your writing: whether it's a novel, a piece of literary fiction, a political essay, a screenplay or just a pitch for an article or book, you're welcome to join us and discuss your work over a free beer or glass of wine. Free "aperitivo" style snacks will also be available. Please submit an excerpt of your writing at least 24 hours before the scheduled meetup.

This group is for anyone interested in reading biographies of famous (and not-so-famous) women of the 19th and 20th centuries -- including Coco Chanel, Marlene Dietrich, Lil Hardin Armstrong, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Mary McLeod Bethune, Sarah Bernhardt, and others. We plan to meet once a month on a Sunday afternoon, at various locations in Manhattan. Also, each member will have the opportunity to select a book for the group.
