About us
Suggest new books or locations using this link: Baltimore Books and Brews Suggestions
It's hard to make friends as an adult. Come join a low-stakes kind of book club where we hang out, chat about our monthly book, and build community.
Didn't finish the book? Only watched the movie? Hated it? Just want to listen to other people talk about a book you've never read? Everyone is welcome!
We'll rotate breweries or coffee shops for meet ups once a month (usually the 3rd Saturday of the month).
What to expect:
- To encourage and spark conversations we'd like to open meet ups by going around the room, introducing ourselves by rating the book 1-5 stars and a couple sentences about what you thought about the book.
- At the end of the meeting we’ll spin a wheel full of genres for a random genre and then use that to select a book from out Suggestion list at random for future events.
- Events planned a few months in advance to give everyone more time to find, place on hold, and read the book.
- We want your suggestions! - we really value the input from the group and wanted to keep all those great book and location suggestions in one spot where they won't get lost for future meetups.

February Book: A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens
Location: Wico Brewing
One of Charles Dickens's most exciting novels, A Tale of Two Cities, set during the French Revolution, is a compelling portrait of the results of terror and treason, love and supreme sacrifice. When the starving French masses rise to overthrow a corrupt and decadent government, both the guilty and the innocent become victims of their frenzied anger. Soon nothing stands in the way of the chilling figure they enlist for their cause—La Guillotine, the new invention for efficiently chopping off heads. This captivating tale uses the contrasts between the two cities’ “beliefs” to reveal the central choice confronting every society and each individual: Should a person work to change society, or should the revolution occur within his heart?

March Book: Ghosts by Dolly Alderton
Location: Ceremony Coffee Roasters - Harbor Point32-year-old Nina Dean is a successful food writer with a loyal online following, but a life that is falling apart. When she uses dating apps for the first time, she becomes a victim of ghosting, and by the most beguiling of men. Her beloved dad is vanishing in slow motion into dementia, and she's starting to think about ageing and the gendered double-standard of the biological clock. On top of this she has to deal with her mother's desire for a mid-life makeover and the fact that all her friends seem to be slipping away from her . . . Dolly Alderton's debut novel is funny, tender and painfully relatable, filled with whip-smart observations about relationships and the way we live today.
