Our book club was started in the summer of 2007 as a way to enjoy engaging discussions about books while eating great food and getting to know the restaurants in the area. Itâs been going strong since then and weâve read over 140 book and shared many dinners. The group consists mostly of women ranging in age and from a variety of backgrounds and professions, all sharing a love for a good story.
We primarily read fiction, including: historical fiction, current best sellers, classics, and young adult books. Each month we meet at a restaurant we chose the month prior, typically in Sherman Oaks, Studio City, or Encino, although we do go outside of that area at times. Originally, we tried to match the culture of the book to the type of restaurant, but now we often find ourselves selecting restaurants simply because we want to try them, although there are good ol' favorites thrown in from time to time. We meet on the first Monday of the month at 7:30 p.m.
We're looking to be challenged and we want to hear what you think, so opinions are welcomed and encouraged. While we understand life happens, we do ask that you be committed to coming regularly and reading the book each month, we're not looking for inconsistent or flaky members. We do not go over 8-9 members and typically have potential members waiting for an opening; so if you are not consistent or miss one of your first three meetings, we will kindly ask you to step aside so someone else can have your spot.
If you're interested or want to know if there is currently an opening, please contact Cindy at cindylermond@gmail.com.
