Looking to make new friends and enjoy good books? I am! Looking to meet once a month (or less depending on length of group) at my home for food, drinks, and good conversation. Fiction, and select non-fiction books would be selected which we would vote on. Just an informal group of women who like to read, and like to chat even more ;-)

My husband is balder now, thanks to my love of classic fiction and my inability to keep quiet about it. In an effort to maintain marital peace (and perhaps to keep a few threads of hair attached to his poor head), I decided to start a book discussion group centered on classic novels. The purpose of the group, then, will be to dive into the worlds created by some of history's most famous authors: Steinbeck, Twain, Austin, Dostoevsky, and, of course, Dickens, just to name a few. If you also enj …

We are a group of women who enjoy fictional books of substance. We meet at 6:00 p.m. on the 1st Tuesday of each month at various locations near the Chandler Mall/101 for Happy Hour and to discuss our current book selection. http://hhbookclub.blogspot.com/ We are accepting a few new members.

I will comm …

A great group of avant-garde women who want to read and talk about challenging literature - fictional and non-fictional. This is NOT your chic-lit group. We read classics like Rand, Lewis, and Twain. We read moderns like Friedman, Friedan, Robbins, and even Rowling. All for FUN. We're clever, raucous, valiant, and not afraid to use a dictionary!

We are a group that loves to get together in a thematic way over books and movies. Our meetups currently happen twice a month and consist of one meetup where we discuss a book and another meetup where we watch a movie that is based on a book. For this second meetup of the month you have the choice of reading the book and watching the movie or discussing just based on watching the movie.

This group is designed to gather together valley professionals for an active discussion on current and classic novels. My purpose in starting this group was to rekindle the college literature class discussions that I used to enjoy so much. We will focus on a discussion of theme, context, genre and substance of prose.

Since there is such a high demand for the "Chick Lit" Phoenix Book Club, I thought I would start another chick lit group in Scottsdale. This group is for women who enjoy the occasional "Sex and the City" type book. What woman has not found herself at least drawn into the television show?!? "Chick lit" is a term used to describe a genre of fiction that is written and marketed to young women. The genre especially targets young single, working women in their twenties and thirties; however the genr …
