Manhattan Smutty Book Club - The Trouble with Monsters by Grace McGinty

The book for December is recommended by Elle - **[The Trouble With Monsters: A Creature Crisis Hotline Novel by Grace McGinty](https://a.co/d/02aqkVAU)**. It's a monster reverse harem book about a human woman who comes to work for a monster crisis center. The books is pretty new, so it is only available in print or ebook, not audio. Quick housekeeping note: Scammers have been using the name of Smutty Book Club and its organizers to invite people to for-profit events. **If you receive any solicitation for an event or receive communication outside of Meetup asking for money, then it is a scam.** Please let us know if you see anything suspicious. **Ok, back to [The Trouble With Monsters](https://a.co/d/02aqkVAU):** ***The Trouble With Monsters is a standalone, why choose monster romance. It has heat and heart in equal measure.*** *. When creatures emerged from the hidden nooks and shadowy crannies of the world decades ago, they had one goal–to create a world where humans and creatures could live together peacefully, out in the open. And it worked, mostly.* *. Despite everyone's best efforts, problems still arose, and that's where the Creature Crisis Hotline stepped in.* *. Bridge troll blocking your commute to work? Call the Creature Crisis Hotline and they'll send a team to relocate him.* *. Want to eat your annoying coworker because he keeps stealing your designated parking spot? The hotline will talk you through that rage.* *. Accidentally bought a demon possessed teapot at the thrift store? Don't worry, a Creature Crisis Hotline Team will take care of it.* *. So when Hailey's attractive Orc neighbor suddenly disappears, she listens to her gut and calls the hotline for help. Little did she know that one call would change her life forever, and the person the Creature Crisis Team would really save was her.* The book for each month will be chosen at the book club before. So come with your suggestions! Please join us at Cornerstone Tavern, 961 2nd Ave, New York, NY (51st and 2nd) for great conversation, laughs, and friendship. Look for our signs, and listen for the laughter. We are often in the back of Cornerstone behind the curtain, which is actually a different restaurant called the Stags Head and then up the stairs. We start at 7pm, but feel free to come early before happy hour ends at 7. People usually start to drift in by 6:30pm.

Improve Your Public Speaking Skills — Columbia University Toastmasters

Gotham Go Group - Tuesdays at the Hungarian

Every Tuesday evening from 5 - closing. All are welcome, from beginners to pros. We usually have 8-15 players show up. This is a casual coffee house environment so don't expect a Go tournament kind of silence, but rather a din of conversation that is probably the vanguard of intellectual New York. Absolutely free, it costs nothing to play, and there is nothing to join. But PLEASE do get a drink, dessert or both to support the good folks at the Hungarian Pastry Shop who so graciously allow us to use their storied and humble space. We have some boards and stones, but it never hurts to bring your own.
