[close] A book club geared toward the LGBT community that will dive into the world of literature. We will explore LGBT themes in genres such as fantasy, science fiction, horror, YA contemporary, fiction, etc. All book lovers are welcome to join and socialize with people who share the same passion for books.

[close] A place to discuss all the unique aspects of Deaf culture as highlighted in the thriller Silent Fear (A novel inspired by true crimes) by Lance & James Morcan. This group can also be an intersection of sorts where Deaf and hearing people can engage and learn from each other.

[close] A group for readers to connect with Jonathan Emrys, author of "SCARECROWS: A DANDY World", the first book in his SCARECROWS SciFi/Futurist series. Here you can chat with him about his novels, characters, and future projects. Have a question about Lucy, Roscoe, Dr. Pratt, Chimei, or even Dickie? Ask it here.

[close] Hey Ho Book Lovers! Please join us if you can relate to any of the following: Do you often feel unenthused at the idea of having what you read next dictated by a book club? Or wish that your book discussions would involve opinions of both men AND women? Do you love meeting up with friends to discuss what others are reading and get recommendations, in a friendly, obligation-free environment? Do you use your library card more than your gym membership? Or visit Vromans on a bi-weekly basis and wish you had someone to browse with? Do you fall in love with the staff members at your local bookstore based solely on the "staff recommends" shelf? Or listen to your favorite book discussion podcast wishing you were cool enough to have those sorts of discussions in person? Look no further! What I hope to accomplish with this group: - Bring book-loving individuals together in my community! - Generate a killer book-recommendation machine through these meetups for anyone who attends! - Go on fun bookish adventures (bookstore browsing, literary festivals, and author readings) - Have deep, enlightening conversations about the publishing industry, the future of books, the preservation of libraries, etc. - Sound good? We'd love to meet you! Once again, if it wasn't already obvious, this is NOT a book club. We like to live in an obligation free zone! Feels good, right? Now you can get back to that huge stack of books on your nightstand! Please visit our meetups website to join us! http://www.meetup.com/The-Next-Best-Book/
