[close] We're an in person book club based in the Santa Cruz area of California. We meet up about once a month at local breweries or wine bars for drinks and light discussion of the current read. If you're 21+, into reading a variety of fiction genres, local and / or willing to make the trek to Santa Cruz County, please join us! (Readers 18+ are welcome to join as well, but your ability to join us at in person meetings will be dependent on whether a given location allows patrons under 21. A lot of breweries do, but we can't guarantee that will be the case every month.)
