What we’re about
This is an in person book club for those aged 21+ for Northern NJ.
We meet the 2nd Monday of every month from 6:30-8:30 p.m. at Chili’s in East Rutherford, NJ. You are not required to purchase food or drinks. Chips, salsa and water are provided without purchase.
There are 14 spots - please RSVP and cancel if unable to attend as there is a waiting list.
We read some books that contain graphic content which is why this group is 21+. Sometimes the group will vote on a book to read next other times it will be chosen. It is up to each individual to choose if they wish to read the book for that month. We will probably not be that cozy mystery group but all are fiction.
