How do you find a book club in your area?
I've done searches and really haven't found anything.

2. meetup.com
That's how I found mine.
The local public library also may have a book club. I've also noticed that Barnes & Nobles, at least in some locations, may have one.
Have you tried these resources?
:hi:

4. Just found one on Meetup
they seem to have a varied schedule and they books and movies reviewed look interesting. One evening is devoted to the classics. Not that I wasn't paying attention in school or anything... ;)

:hi:

9. Thank so much for suggesting meetup
I had never heard of meet-up.com before and I have already joined a book club and volunteering group. The site is awesome! Thanks

3. friends told me...
I agree with the idea of a library or bookstore as a source, though.

Or hell, you could start your own!


Happy reading.
