Every other week reading group in Balboa Park: Pre-Halloween Special!

This is a reading group for those in their 20s, 30s, and 40s. If that's you, come join us in Balboa Park to share about the latest book you're reading (or have read). We'll each get an opportunity to share about our book (why we chose to read it; what we liked and didn't like; and whether we'd recommend it). This is really a place to get to know each other and to learn about books that we might not normally read, but after hearing someone share, we might give them a shot. So bring a lawn chair, a picnic blanket, or something else to sit on and join us!

Feel free to bring any book of your choice: fiction, nonfiction, graphic novels, horror, satire, scientific studies, philosophical texts, crime, mystery, action/adventure, short story collections, poetry, and so much more. Additionally, depending on what book is presented, be prepared for various types of discussion including but not limited to the author’s background, themes, religion, politics, the environment, history, biology, animals, plant life, and other potential topics.

There are two, small parking lots on Balboa Drive, very close to where we meet. To access these lots, from 6th Ave and Upas, you turn onto Balboa Dr and enter the park. Drive past Quince and you'll see them on the right.

About this Halloween Special Event: as usual, each of us will present a book of our choice; however, there will also be a Halloween related potluck! Feel free to bring candy, spooky treats, baked goodies, and tasty snacks. Additionally, you also have the option to come in costume. And if that is not enough, I am going to bring a few horror/Gothic books, but here is the catch! Each of them will be covered, so when you select a book, you will not know which book you selected. Mwa ha ha ha ha! Feel free to contribute and bring your own mystery horror/gothic books for someone to select and take home! 🎃

Note: If you cannot make it, that is okay. Just make sure to change your attendance status ASAP. Additionally, if you do plan to show up, try arriving on time. It makes it easier to set up groups, stay within time, and it helps decrease disruptions.
