Do you live in Jersey City and find yourself wondering, where are all the lesbians? Hoboken, I'm talking about you too! I thought there would be no better way to get us together than with food. So, if you are single or coupled, have any interest in food and wine (or film, working out, networking, whatever) let's get together and be social, and of course, eat.
Meet with other book lovers once a month to discuss a chosen piece of literature (fiction, nonfiction, biography, contemporary, classic novels- depends on what we all vote on!) over drinks or a bite to eat. This is a great chance to meet other local people who share your love for books. Books will be chosen by the group, so feel free to recommend anything you are interested in reading.
