This group is a "real world" extension of the organization I founded on-line called the Indie Book Collective. We are all about helping authors figure out their publication options then helping them succeed (i.e. actually sell their books) through social media, Amazon optimization, and other promotional events.

… This group is the place to talk about your favorite authors, learn about tons of authors you've never heard of or always wanted to read, and continue to grow your never ending to read list. Share your thoughts on the books we're reading for the month or just come and listen to what others have to say. We hope to see you at the next meetup!  

Every month we read the best book as chosen by our members. We then meet and discuss them. If the book we chose has been made in to a movie or a play, then we might schedule an additional meetup event.  If you are fond of reading and would enjoy discussing books like Three Cups of Tea, The Help, and The Art of Racing in the Rain, we would love to have you as a member of our group.
