Loose Leaf - Book over Tea/Coffee

Loose Leaf 
adj. notes or pages 
adj. as in tea 
If you're the kind of person who loves to read and have a creative and fun discussion over coffee or tea, then...
THIS IS FOR YOU!

1. We are all leading busy lives..so we'll give ourselves a month or two to finish ONE book.
2. All meetings are held ONLINE via Zoom link.
3. Anyone can volunteer a book of his/her choice. Then five minutes before the meetup time ends, we will reach a group decision on what book to read for the next month.
4. We will communicate via email or Meetup messaging.
5. At least THREE committed members are needed in order to meet up.
6. We are here to critique yet provide an avenue of creative, intellectual, and fun discussion. 
7. Loose Leaf Book Club has been running for almost 5 years already and I cannot be more grateful to all the committed members and bookworms out there! However,  Loose Leaf Book Club is running on a Basic plan which entitles for a 50-member group. When the number of members exceed beyond 50, members who have been inactive and/or have not attended any meetup will be removed to give slots to new members. I hope you understand. If you'd like to be added again, please do so and I'll approve you once a slot becomes available.

Pick up a loose leaf. It's addicting.
