[close] Let's talk about our favorite chick lit, from guilty pleasures to sassy, smart, empowering books. Once a month meetings, we can take turns hosting or meet at a public venue. Food, venue, drinks can be tied to the book theme... or not. Let's just have some laughs, make new friends, and read more for pleasure!

[close] Please list a book and describe the food you would serve inspired by this book. Hello! I have a book club where we try to bring a potluck of the food inspired by books. When organizing each book club, if I haven't read the book yet, I find organizing the potluck list challenging - there are usually not enough blogs and things written about the food mentioned in books! I thought this group might be helpful. Please join us if you like to discuss the food in books- or are willing to help others with this. Please list a book and describe the food you would serve inspired by this book.
