San Diego Book Divas!

Have you been looking for a place to discuss some of the great books you find?

Do you want to meet some quality intelligent girlfriends in a non-threatening fun environment?

Then San Diego Book Divas is the book club for you! 

What makes us different from other book clubs? 

We have been going strong since August 2008. We have many organizers hosting various genres. You aren’t forced to read a book that you don’t want to read. You can also choose to push yourself by reading a book out of your comfort zone. Only RSVP yes to the events and books that interest you and work for your schedule. We meet on Zoom and also in person (depending on Covid restrictions). 

You can choose from a few books every month. We are reading fiction, chick-lit, young adult, young adult sci-fi/fantasy, classics, short reads, Jane Austen, crime, sci-fi, and nonfiction books to have a nice mix of serious topics and lighter material. We have the occasional movie meetup, streaming Netflix parties, podcast discussions, author events in person and social meetups. With over 1000 past meetups it's difficult to list just a few of our previous reads! Books are chosen based on polls on the website and suggestions by the members. We normally choose books that are available in paperback and at the public library.

San Diego Book Divas! is a great way to stay "with it" and read books that are out of our own comfort zones. It also feels great to have a deadline to finish a book and then share opinions on really great reads. Please attend the meetup if you haven’t finished or did not like the book. There have been many times at book club where we all see different things since we all have our own perspectives. When the book is shared, you get such a stronger meaning from it.

Come to laugh, share stories and make new friends! We're meeting 6+ times a month now, so you have plenty of opportunities to join in on the fun!

Meetups cost $2 cash per person at each meetup attended. This is for the costs of the Meetup.com website and the organizers' time.
