Emily Books brings people together online to write about our monthly book club picks, but a lot of us have never met. Let's change that! Once a month, we'll have a (verrrrrrry) informal book club meeting in a bar, where we'll talk about the book we're reading and whatever else.

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.
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.
I want to combine 2 of my interests - reading and wine - so am hoping to start a book club that will meet in our local wine bar once a month. Open to anyone with similar interests that is looking more to enjoy good books, good company and good wine than get too serious about what we're reading!
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!

They saying goes, "If you want to hide something from a Black person, put it in a book". Well this group's aim to dispel that stereotype and take in as much literary information as possible. This group will read books of all genres and meet up on a monthly basis to discuss the current reading selection. Each book will be chosen by a member of the group to enable the group to read books of everyones taste.

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.

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.

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.

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 everything worth reading. :) This group is aimed at mid-twenties to mid-thirties individuals who like to get together over drinks or a meal and have critical discussions about books. Please read on to find out how we run our book club! Each Meet Up will r …

Hey girls! Are you someone that likes reading chick lit (think... Prozac Nation, Reading Lolita in Tehran, He's Just Not That Into You, French Women Don't Get Fat)?? Are you someone that like to have a glass or wine? Are you someone that is looking to meet up with other gals in the city, make friends, and chat about a great book you just read? Then this club is for you! We will all vote on a new book each month and then meet up at a coffee shop or lounge to discuss the book and any other things …
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.
Meet with other book lovers once a month to discuss a chosen piece of literature (fiction, nonfiction, biography, contemporary, classic novels- depends on what we all vote on!) over drinks or a bite to eat. This is a great chance to meet other local people who share your love for books. Books will be chosen by the group, so feel free to recommend anything you are interested in reading.

All book lovers in Sunnyside/Woodside/LIC are welcome to join a local book club. The group will meet in various apartments and everyone should feel free to bring a snack for the group.
Hello my fabulous book club pals! For those of you who are new-or semi new-just be for warned we are mostly a social club. Yes, we discuss the book but its pretty darn casual.

SO far ( for the past year!) we have been SUPER successful at this! SO be ready to laugh your head off and chat and sorta talk about the book. Sometimes I do read the boo …
