I love reading books don't you? Are you interested in Fiction books or Romances novels?  Looking to share your favorites with others?  Let's meetup and discuss our favorites!    

Calling all bookanistas!  Welcome to The Page Turners of Silicon Valley.  This is a book club for mature women who enjoy a variety of books, lively discussion and convivial company in a pleasant setting.  It is a chance to meet new people and make new friends.   

Join us for discussions on an eclectic mix of fiction and non-fiction books. We meet once a month - usually the evening of the third Thursday - at a member's home mid-Peninsula.   The book for each month is chosen by a mixture of voting and consensus. Our discussions include both the book itself and the issues it raises. They are lively, informal, and respectful of everyone's view. Here are some books that we recently read: - "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley - "The Haunting of Hill House" by …

Good books and good food go hand in hand, I think! A not-taken-too-seriously sort of women's book group that also shuns your everyday "chicklit" - not because some aren't romping good reads but they don't exactly warrant full discussion. Meetings take place at a restaurant or establishment so we can all try new places. Also, if you don't quite get around to finishing the book (or reading it for that matter...no worries!).  Just feel free to come to the meetings and socialize too.  Quarterly, we …

So maybe it's OK if we don't always have time to finish the book... This group is for Moms and expectant Moms in Silicon Valley who want to grow their social circles. I work at Google, and after having our baby my husband and I moved to Palo Alto after a year in London and many years in San Francisco. I'm looking to develop a social circle down South, and I'm guessing there are many other people like me out there! In this book club, we choose a book and a thematically appropriate cuisine (e.g., …

Peninsula and South Bay 20's-40's Girls who love books is a meetup group in which we meet at various cafes, bars and restaurants and each other's homes on the Peninsula/in the South Bay to discuss books we love.

… My purpose in creating this group is to create a space for women going through this transition, whether it be through thoughtful conversations, drinks, book discussions, dancing, dinners, cafe meets, hikes/walks, etc. The value of women with the same life experience joining together as a group is not only healing and validating, but empowering as well. If you're a woman in your 30s going through life transitions and would like to meet other women going through the same experience--please join! L …

Membership in this group is currently closed.   WHO WE ARE We are lesbian/bisexual women in our late 30s to early 50s who love to read, discuss books, cook/enjoy good food, and socialize.

… I have 100's of videos and audio books that could be shared, and we could have interesting discussions on these. I'm a book-a-holic and read many of the best sellers as well as inspirational, self-help, science, etc. I like cooking and have some great recipes. I'm sure you do also, and that could be another area of sharing: cooking demonstrations as well as enjoying the tasty results! I have a cat, so be aware if you have pet allergies.
