What we’re about

Love non-fiction? Craving deep, caffeinated conversations with fellow book lovers? Then welcome to *the* group for you! Each month, we dive into one book, with titles revealed two months ahead to fuel your excitement and reading time.  But it's not all book talk—we also host fun social events like trivia nights, potlucks, and the occasional karaoke "konclave".

NOTE: I only accept new members with a clear photo.

Our Values

  • -Curiosity: We're passionate learners, always eager to explore and understand the world around us.

  • -Varied Interests: We choose non-fiction books that span many topics and genres. Check out our past events to see the variety of our selections

  • -Inclusiveness: We pride ourselves on being open-minded, kind, and respectful, creating a welcoming space for all.

  • -Joy: We believe a serious discussion need not be a solemn discussion. We engage in meaningful discussions while keeping the atmosphere fun and lighthearted.

  • -Connection: We value friendship and community, continually striving to strengthen our social bonds.

Club Rules

1 - Our Meetups are open to confirmed attendance members and held at public venues; usually coffee shops or bars. We try to limit the attendee total to 12 per meeting. If the waitlist reaches 10, we usually schedule a second meeting.

2 - Please consider supporting the local businesses where we meet by buying drinks or food.

3 - Please read the book prior to attending. It’s ok to join if you were able to read at least part of the book.

4 - We strive to create a nice, safe and respectful environment. Everyone is given a chance to talk. Nobody should monopolize the discussion. Members showing disruptive, rude, angry or inappropriate behavior are removed from the group.

5 - We keep track of “no-shows” - instances where members RSVP but do not show-up to an event, and also "Last-Minute Cancellations": when members cancel less than 48 hours from the event. Members with multiple "no-shows" and/or "Last-Minute Cancellations" are removed from the group. Please change your RSVP as soon as you know you can't attend. If you really have something unexpected come-up, please reach out to me by Meetup message so I don't increase your last-minute cancellation / no-show count.

6 - Members with prior no-shows or "Last-Minute Cancellations" (less than 48 hours) lose their right to hold a spot in a Meetup and may be moved to the wait list for future Meetups.
