Lisa's Library (Book Club)

Short and sweet casual meetings at coffee shops (98% of the time) discussing books.

I have a list I want to run through (that's how most books will be chosen), but I am open to suggestions that will go on my never-ending Good Reads list. I am fine swapping out planned books as the list is only tentative :)

I will post a few different genres/meetings every month, mostly in Williamsburg or Lower Manhattan, depending on what works best. Join one or all of them and still come even if you have not finished the book. Genres will vary from bestsellers, classics, self-development, business, and anything in between!
