The Hartford Area Book Club Meetup Group

"Hello everyone. I'm an avid reader, but I tend to stick to books I know I'll enjoy. I want to try out some new books and meet some new people."

"Hello All! I am moving across the entire country- from California to Connecticut! So I am in the market for meeting new people, new adventures, and new ways to spend my time. Can't wait to get all settled!"

"Greetings All ~ It's a simple pleasure to read a good book, and share one's thoughts, feelings, and perceptions of it with others, so this group is a great idea!"

"Reading is one of my favorite things to do. I have never joined a book club before, so I thought I would try something new. I am looking forward to meeting everyone."
