The Midtown Booze & Book Club is the book club "for the rest of us". We aim to be a diverse group of readers who gather together for libations and lively discussion. We want to read books which are clever and sometimes funny. Everything from Bukowski to Burroughs (William AND Augusten), from Roach to Reichl, from Nin to well, Miller. Exploring new and old, off the beaten path books, not always your "award winning" reads. We meet on the second Tuesday of each month (and sometimes more, if we feel …

This is a book club for woman who love to read a wide range of books. Each month we will read a book selected by our members.  We we will be meeting the 2nd Wednesday of each month at a coffee shop in Midtown, but this can change as we get to know each other and grow more comfortable, possibly even sharing our homes with each other. I would like this group to develop into a group that meets to discuss the books we are reading while having fun and socializing. We don't have to have a super seriou …

A book club for women of all ages in the Concord - Diablo Valley area. Sorry, Gentlemen, this is a book club for women only. We started out meeting every two months to discuss, socialize and pick the next book; however, due to the size of our club there are now more book discussions offered each month.  Join us and rediscover a love for reading, meet new women, and (hopefully) make new friends!

We're a social club catering to a slightly nerdier crowd. We have both indoor and outdoor adventures, geared for "indoor" people (i.e. any level of fitness.) The IAC is mostly made up of people in their 20s and 30s, but all adults are welcome. We have outings of some kind at least twice a month. Outdoor we might do a pub crawl or hang out at one of our many local bodies of water, and indoor may mean board game nights or a trip to a comedy club. Come join us and experience all the great things th …

Any women/gay guys in the east bay area between 21-29 are more than welcome (You don't have to live in Walnut Creek to come hang out with us!) whether you are a college student, in your career, or a stay at home parent.
