Any Lady Bookworms in Kuwait? Book Club for Women?

Hello all,

I have been looking for book clubs in Kuwait and came to the conclusion that it may be best to ask if anyone wanted to start a book club with me. We'd pick a book and in a month's time, we'd have it read so that we could meet up at a restaurant or a coffee shop to discuss it and socialize.

Any ladies interested?

Comment on this forum or private message me if you are interested and we can get this going!! :D

Something to look forward to in Kuwait!

I would be interested...

Would be a good way of meeting new people.

meeting new women you can say,men are too desperate here.

If you want a book worm friend you need to meet my wife Collette.

She reads a book every two days....oh she loves romance novels!

You can email her on collette2004@hotmail.com

She is the VP for the British Ladies Society.  Their library is the best in Kuwait.

great idea, I'd be very happy to join.
please correct me if I am wrong, but this place doesn't seem to be strong in bookshops...
so far haven't seen any, so any tips with a newbie-proof directions would be highly appreciated.

Does having a Kindle work? I'm slowly reading through 50+ books, but always interested in new ones. Let me know, I'd be interested.

I would suggest a place called (Book Cafe)

A good place for ladies who love books to meet, its located in Omneya Complex(M2)in Salmiya

Check out their facebook page,

Just a reminder that this is a ladies only initiative. Sorry guys.. :)

Heey, I was searching online for bookclub, and found this blog, well I really like the idea , cuz I used to study English Literature, i'd love to spend time reading, analyzing book theams and criticizing the ideologies , but I prefer to do it, on a fix place , aby office or house rather than a cafe , please contact me to start establishing the club

well i am glad you found a group just formed,hope you all enjoy each others company.

akasha_pl

Yes! finally something other than shopping and eating! I use kindle on my tablet, they have a great selection of books. I totally recommend to all book lovers who need easy access to virtually any title desired.

Viva did u manage to set up any meeting yet?

Abadi

there is a place in sherq

Ladies, i suggest "Better Books and Cafe Kuwait", it will serve several purposes:

1) they offer free tea and coffee, the life-blood of socializing in Kuwait

2) they have places where u can sit to read the books u want (free of charge)

3) their prices are great

4) They're in Salmiya, behind al-rashed hospital

5) if u speak with the proprietor, Maxine i believe, charming old bird, u can probably look into starting an actual club there, they host meetings for toast masters etc, and they have a schedule for events.

you can find them thru facebook here

+ its safe; Maxine makes sure no lurkers of ill intent stay on the premises :)

Lulwa

i would like to join in if that still happening

Nayana

Love the idea as Im a BIG bookworm eventhough I never got time to read books here in Kuwait. But Im in! A great idea! ;)

ibra_taher

good luck

lme

I read the first one. Not sure how you managed to read the other two. That was some of the worst writing I have ever seen; I couldn't continue reading. But if you like that "heat" ;), check out Anne Rice's Sleeping Beauty series. Same naughtiness with much better writing! I doubt you will find that in Kuwait either. Hehe

I would love to join a book club! Hopefully, I will be able to download from amazon to my iPad over there.

Lulwa

How about this to all the ppl who r interested we can exchange phones and create a whatssup group to comminicate, we decide on a book and agree to a spot to meet and discuss it, tell me if u like the idea or propose another

Hi Viva.

I'm in! I've been looking for a book club since last year. Glad to know there are other bookworms around.

Also, I agree with Legacy. 'Better Books and Cafe' is a great place for a book club.

Cheers,
JD

J-Dizzle

Oops! Just realized the message was posted way back in 2011.

Anyway, if you guys are interested in forming a book club, do let me know. I've been meaning to start one.

Ciao!

legacy

lol JD u one cool cat ;)

i think this topic deserves a re-run, coz it was left unsettled. reading is a lost art.

plus yes, give maxine some company over @ better books Kuwait. also keep in mind it is becoming a hotspot for expat activity, so u can easily diversify ur interests from reading to salsa dancing. seriously.

Lulwa

Yeah we r still here. i am actually trying to contact u all with my cell so we can start

J-Dizzle

Hi Legacy!

I agree. We need to revive it. Maxine will be delighted to hear about our (prospective) book club. And yes, I've heard about the salsa classes. Tempted to give it a shot but the classes are held on a weekday. So bummer!

Let's get all the bookworms together. I'm so excited :D

Cheers,
JD
