You’ve experienced the page turner. The book that’s so compelling it forces you to silence calls, stay up later than your early morning permits, and respond in a brusk and irritated tone to any and all commitments calling you away from the story. A story that’s so good, it makes you want to do something about it. Who’s up for a book club that’s one part reading, one part discussion, and one part action? Let’s read Bukowski one month and hold our discussion in the central library that Bukowski fr …

Books range from the latest releases to classics. We will try and expand the number of people who can RSVP for a meetup - having possibly two di …

This group was started because there wasn't one already- unbelievable, I know. The Boxer breed is the best, and if you are on the fence about that, then clearly, you are somewhat ... well, wrong, you are wrong. That said, here are some signs that you are in the right place:   * If you've ever pulled your car up to another car in traffic because you saw a Boxer sticking its head out the window, you're in the right place. * If you've ever pulled your car off the road because you saw a Boxer taking …

Do you love reading books such as "Confessions of a Shopaholic", "Bridget Jones's Diary" and "The Devil Wears Prada"? Do you love reading books covered with shoes, fashion and funky female cartoons?

Not all of us are interested in reading the classics and that's okay because this club is for women ages 20-infinite that want to mee …

Each member reads two to three submissions each week, and submits a piece of anywhere from 10 - 15 page …

A monthly book club reading classic and modern 20th century literature. A journey into some extraordinary but obscure literature drawn from countries all over the world.

This group is created specifically for Creative Writers, who know they have something beautiful, meaningful, or helpful to say, know (or may not know yet) that they are incredibly talented, can make the time for writing, yet somehow, something else seems to always get in the way. We all know how self-defeating procrastination can be, waiting for a better time ("when I have more hours, when I am less rushed, etc.") until the opportunity is lost, but also that procrastination is merely a habit.
