Bay Area Book Geeks

What we're about

Do you love books!? Well you have come to the right place. We totally geek out on all types of books. We have several separate book clubs for different book genres. Just pick one to attend or pick them all. This is a group effort where we vote on which books to read, and we are open to people hosting their own events.

Basic Rules

1. This group is a fun, safe space for people to discuss their opinions, make friendships, read amazing books, and have great discussions. Harassing and threatening members will not be tolerated. 

2. This is a group to meet people, even people you might potentially want to ask on a date. This is natural and acceptable, however many members attend for the reading and socializing alone. It is highly encouraged that any member not treat this group like a dating site.

3. If a well loved book is suggested as reading for the group, please be advised that not everyone will share the same opinion. This group encourages debate because it is what makes a good discussion. Respecting other opinions is highly recommended.

4. Group organizers are responsible for keeping an eye out for internal problems. If a member feels uncomfortable or disrespected please bring it to our attention.

5. We are happy to have so many members with the Bay Area Book Geeks but we do encourage you to keep your RSVP up to date. Especially with wanting to keep online meetings to a manageable size, we do limit the capacity at our meetings. To encourage members to keep their RSVP’s current we take note of any no shows at all meetings. If three no shows turn up on your record then the next time you RSVP for a meeting and the meeting has a wait list you will be automatically moved to the wait list for that event. We understand that emergencies happen, and if one comes up at the last minute, let us know as soon as you can, and we will adjust your record accordingly.

6. Cases in which a member has not attended several times in a row and has not been keeping their RSVP current, you will be sent a warning. If you do not comply afterward, you will be removed from Bay Area Book Geeks all together. 

Since we use meetup for the majority of our information and RSVPs, we have the meetup fee which is billed twice a year.  If you would like to help offset some of the cost of running the group, please use this venmo link or contact us to use another form.
