[close] A Book Club for Curious Minds All are welcome to join in as we read a book together each month. This isn’t a club about speed or pressure — it’s about exploration, conversation, and connection. We read stories that make us pause, reflect, and sometimes smile. ✨ What to Expect ✨ Rotating themes: memoirs, social issues, personal journeys, reflections on life, and books that explore human thought and behavior. Thoughtful, curious discussions—never judgmental. A space to pause, share, and embrace the messy, beautiful complexity of the world and its people. For readers who value stories that stay with them and shift the way they see the world.

[close] Welcome to The Socially Aware Womxn Book Club. We are all here to learn about the world around us in a socially conscious way. If you would like to join us for meetings you can find us here: https://www.meetup.com/g/thesociallyawarewomxnbookclub/settings/basic/ This group is here to bring together women and LGBTQ individuals who are concerned with topics of social injustice or would like to learn more about these topics through literature. The group title may sound a bit pretentious but the group is not. Please feel free to read the books and not come to the meeting or to come to the meetings when you have not read the book. The goal of this community is to include not exclude. Most meetings explore what we want to do with the knowledge we gained, an exploration of the social system, or a discussion on how the book has changed our understanding things. This is an exploration. Together we will read, meet, and discuss books regarding social issues that our world faces. Through engaging with this content the vision for this group is to connect with each other and seek ways to connect with the issues at hand in our world. My hope is this group provides an opportunity to connect like-minded people over real world challenges. Click here for a link to our book list. Group meetings work to center BIPOC and other under-privileged voices during the discussion.
