What we’re about
Are you the type of person who loves reading, but who doesn't care for the books that book clubs in your area select? If so, this is the club for you. This Meetup is for people who thrive on reading and socializing alongside people who do the same. Some members enjoy reading novels, while others prefer non-fiction.
This Meetup provides you a slice of time to get away from the grind of your week so that you can just sit and read, while drinking your favorite cup of tea or coffee. Part of the magic is that members will be able to exchange book recommendations, and share their ideas on what these books meant to them.
This group meets on Saturday mornings. If Sunday is the day you prefer to read, try this nearby Meetup.
Come join us. We're very friendly!
