We are a group of book lovers that meet once a month to discuss.....books. We like to read books from all genres, though usually fiction, we have thrown in a non-fiction a time or two. During the monthly meetups, we choose the next book. Actually, we tend to stay 2 months in advance so everyone has a chance to get the book from the library if they want. How we choose books is a little different too. We don't really discuss the book before reading it. Someone at the meeting suggests a book they w …

This group is for people who like going to the theater to see SciFi and fantasy movies, both great and shlocky, and then going for coffee afterward to pick them apart.

Hello everyone. I'm Eric Griffin. I am a gothic fantasy novelist. I haven't been published yet, but that will change. The purpose of this group is just what the name states. You don't have to be published to be a member, although having at least one published author in the group would be wonderful. I would, however, like to deal with writers who have been around the mountain enough times to employ a strong knowledge of technique and the fundamentals of novel writing. That way, each member …

Once a month we'll meet to discuss the current book selection, as well as select the book for the next month's reading. Everyone will get a chance to offer up their …

That can be a bit of a time saver. Come to the meetings equipped with hard copies of your writing, the willingness to help others and a se …

If you like to read and discuss books, this is the place for you! In the group, you'll meet kindred book lovers who come together to discuss a variety of topics. We mainly read non-fiction books - history, politics, religion, current events and economics. Every couple of months we read a book of fiction to keep us well-rounded. Our discussions are a way to explore the concepts and facts presented by our reading. It's a wonderful way to learn, share and keep our brains active. Come join us!

Do you ever spend time on tumblr wishing that you could have the opportunity to bask in the presence of other tumblrites in real life? That you could find a community of fellow fangirls/fanboys/fanpeople to share in the shows, movies, or games that you love without the (sometimes wonderful, don't get me wrong) limitations of having a computer screen separating you? That someone would see your t-shirt/bracelet/backpack/whatever and recognize the fandom in-joke and be able to relate to you about i …

Every month we read the best book as chosen by our members. We then meet and discuss them. If the book we chose has been made in to a movie or a play, then we might schedule an additional meetup event.  If you are fond of reading and would enjoy discussing books like Three Cups of Tea, The Help, and The Art of Racing in the Rain, we would love to have you as a member of our group.

Writers who work in any style (drama, poetry, comic books) are also welcome in our group. Members shoul …

I really like the Redmond Sci-Fi & Fantasy book club but thought there might be enough interest to justify a more local club. We will pick a different Sci-Fi or Fantasy book each month to read and discuss.
