If you like to read, dine, and discuss some of your future favorite books over a cup of coffee then this is the group for you. We're a bunch of babyboomers (+ or - a few years) interested in gathering together about every six weeks, to discuss a selected book. We'll have a pot luck brunch to savor, as we relax, converse, share ideas, and devour our books. If sounds like the type of book group you've been looking for then please join our group.

Hmm...a new book or a new friend? Why not both? Come meet new people and discuss a new book every month in The Capital Region Avid Reader Meet-Up Group. (We are aiming for a 20-30s age range but everyone is welcome! )

Meet other book lovers in the Albany/Schenectady Book Club! We read books from a variety of genres and topics, both old and new. Come to laugh, discuss some great books, and make new friends! $1.00 goes toward subscription fee for meetup.com
