What we’re about
This is a group for young women living in or near Bergen County who are interested in making new friends, reading books, and drinking delicious wine (or beer)!
As an avid reader and wine drinker, I wanted to get together with a group of women (around 10-15) once a month at a wine bar or restaurant in or near Bergen County where we can make friends, enjoy a good meal and delicious beverage and discuss that month's book. But to be honest, we usually enjoy hanging out with each other and probably talk about the book for 10-15 minutes :-) We've also participated in various fun events outside our monthly meetup, like an escape room, paint night, and plant night.
How we select what book to read and where to meet:
At each meeting, we bring book recommendations for the book that we will be reading two months from then. Usually, we have a variety of book recommendations from various members and all suggestions are welcome! I make a list of all the recommendations and create a survey of them, posting the survey link on Meetup so that we can all vote on the next book. The book with the highest amount of votes wins! We usually meet the first Thursday night of each month and switch off between meeting in the upper-Bergen County area and the lower-Bergen County/Essex County area. If you have any restaurant suggestions, feel free to post them in the Meetup discussion area!
