Wine, Women, and Words:

1st Thursday of the month, 7pm

This group has been meeting for over a decade. Newcomers are always welcome, whether you've read the book or not!

This group  is mostly women who love to read a variety of books. We get together monthly to discuss the book selected by a group member but communicate by email between times. We try to explore our books, look at websites, attend a movie, opera, or live preview, share a glass of wine and munch on the exotic or mundane. We sometimes start discussions with reading guides.  Our meetings are the first Thursday of the month.

  •     May: In the Garden of Beasts: Love, Terror, and an American Family in Hitler's Berlin by Erik Larson
  •     June: The Art of Fielding by Chad Harbach
  •     July: Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern
