Newbie interested in Joining Book clubs

Hi everyone! My name is Celine and in my quest to look for a book club to join, i stumbled upon this site. I am a fresh graduate of BS Psychology but I recently started continuing studies in a more science oriented/technical course and university. Used to the humanities heavy curriculum of my former university, I'm looking for a way to compensate for the absence of it in my life so I don't go crazy-- also so i get my reading goove back on.

So, if anyone has a book club that meets monthly, please inform me. I live in the ortigas area and study near the Pedro Gil area so book clubs in those places are the most convenient for me. But i can go around

Also, if any are interested in joining one I am open to organizing one (but don't think i would be fit to moderate the discussions themselves). This could be online for starters -- or any medium where communication is somewhat immediate and/or in real time!

Anyway, I am excited to join this community!

Thanks in advance!

Hello, Celine and welcome to RP! ^___^

I've yet to hear about any meetings of any frequency here in RP but I don't see a reason as to why it can't be done.

The idea has been mentioned and played around with but nothing definite yet.

I'm sure there are quite a few who are interested to join, myself included. It's just a matter of getting the word out I suppose. How about starting a new thread in the general discussions page? ;)

For now, please feel free to go through the different threads, if you haven't already. Chime in even if the last post's date stamp is a few months back. :P

WELCOME TO RP CELINE :D
I would be interested to join a book club but my location will not be convenient since i'm in the visayas region. But most of the active members here are kind of busy with their individual lives right now and I know most of them are rarely posting here now a days. But you can bring it up to the admin by sending them a PM. I volunteered to moderate the Young Adult section so that it will be updated as well.
There is also Book of the Month we have here but even the moderator for that hasn't been active since last month also. Which reminds me i will check with the admin for that hmmm.

@jemchan_n why don't you send a PM to admin and volunteer to start a poll for BoM for June? I already did that for May since Ivy was busy.

Welcome Celine :)

I've never attended a book club before. Not even a Bible study :) LOL Count me in if this pushes through. Not sure what kind of venue for this activity. But if its over lunch or dinner, sagot ko na ang isang ulam. hahaha

Disclaimer:
Maximum of 12 people lang pala. Baka mapasubo ako haha

Noted. :P Also, I got a reply from the admin about the members meeting up and they're all for it. :D yay~ I'll start a new thread with that as the topic. Please keep an eye out for it. Thanks~
