I actually have a lead on this. 2 days ago

I found a Jewish book club, now forming, listed on Craig’s List for the Lake Merritt area. I just sent an email. It depends on where and when they meet, for starters.

Ooh! 1 week ago

I just remembered that my local library has a club for “teens” that is either a youth club or a book club. I will have to look it up. When I was younger I was involved in reading clubs but they had no discussion about the books. I’d like to read one and discuss how it made you feel, why you liked it, why you didn’t like it, if you would recommend it to others etc.

Untitled 2 weeks ago

I read on someones (sorry, can’t remember who’s) entries about their goal to do this that they had seen a book club advertised in a book shop window, so that’s my next action towards this goal, to go and look at all the book shop windows I can find.

I would really like to do this but…
a) I’m not sure where to start.
b) All my time, energy and focus is on sorting a job out at the moment.

So the goal is on here, so it reminds me, but it’s a more long term goal. Hopefully sometime next year.



Typical Me 4 weeks ago

I am supposed to be there now bit I took the whimps option and didn’t go. So much for making efforts to be social. I had a rotten day from the start…(some parents know how to make your day). Came home with a headache and that was the end of it…..the thought of having to talk to strangers and sounding completely dumb got the better of me. I should make the call tomorrow and see if I can go to the other group which is on next Thursday this once, if I don’t I am likely to just find excuses. I had actually been looking forward to it all week. Typical.



kestenya I have realised that being a woman like Mary Russel is a good plan

online book club 4 weeks ago

unfortunatly, there is no book club in my town, so till moving to bigger city or starting my own reading group, I’ll must be satisfied with online book clubs, so I’ve just joined one.

So 1 month ago

now that I’ve been to a book lovers meeting and realized I liked it, I think it’s time to find a book club to join.

I know there’s one here in Bucharest where they exchange books and opinions and my plan is to go to every monthly meeting they have.



Susnick8 Feeling really down today. I need a job and some money.

Join a book club. 1 month ago

It would be great for me because I love to read and need to get out and meet people.



Technically..... 2 months ago

I have joined and the goal doesn’t say anything about actually haveing to go now does it?

Went in and got the book for October…..something called ‘The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society’ by Mary Ann Shaffer. I have signed up for the group that meets on the last Thursday of the Month. Apparently it is a pretty small group and it is simply informal discussion. I think that I should go to at least 3 meetings before I decide if it is for me or not. At that point I will mark the goal as done either way.
