[close] "Good friends, good books and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life." — Mark Twain. There is nothing better than sharing the experience of a great book--whether it is an old favourite or a book you never would have read before. Join like-minded book lovers in Amsterdam to discuss the featured book--and other ideas--in a relaxed social setting. The Amsterdam Book Club meetups are usually held in a member's home in central Amsterdam, which is why we limit attendance to the meetups. During every book club, attendees choose the book for a future book club. Bring your book suggestions and be prepared for a lively discussion and voting session. http://www.meetup.com/The-Amsterdam-Book-Club/

Indeed, they are magicians and play with the souls of their listeners as a child plays with his ball." Herman Hesse Travel around the world from your living rooms by experiencing books, music, movies, and food from exotic locales and chatting about it. Explore at your own pace.

[close] Welcome to Sisters in Books, a friendly Prague-based community for all bookworms who love reading and discussing books! This group aims to build friendship, support, and empowerment for women (non-cis + non-binary friends welcome) who wish to share their love for good literature. Join our circle as we explore acclaimed literature and share our thoughts and insights with one another through monthly book discussions and meetups. In this group, we read various genres - fiction and nonfiction, fantasy, contemporary, or historical - with a focus on popular reads (BookTube & Goodreads favorites), especially books that promote women's and queer voices and stories. This group runs on mutual respect and encouragement, and we support women’s rights, queer, trans, and POC rights. Thank you for being a part of the community. PS: We are all about friendship and building a community, not about networking, business, or sales. #nospam
