Book discussions with women in/around South Orange County, California
South Orange County Women’s Book Club
LET’S TALK ABOUT BOOKS!
MEMBERSHIP FREEZE: Please note that we are not accepting new members into the club at this time. Thank you for your interest!
Looking for other book lovers like yourself?
A good story is even better when you’re sharing it with friends! Our Club members read a wide variety of novels, fiction, memoirs, and whatever else we decide upon (except no political/religious books). This is a women’s social book club, so we primarily read books that appeal to women as a whole, or feature women as primary or strong supplemental characters (though we don’t limit ourselves)!
A book is a gift you can open again and again.
JULY 2026 BOOK DISCUSSION
The World Played Chess, by Robert Dugoni
In 1979, Vincent Bianco has just graduated high school. His only desire: collect a little beer money and enjoy his final summer before college. So he lands a job as a laborer on a construction crew. Working alongside two Vietnam vets, one suffering from PTSD, Vincent gets the education of a lifetime. Now forty years later, with his own son leaving for college, the lessons of that summer — Vincent’s last taste of innocence and first taste of real life — dramatically unfold in a novel about breaking away, shaping a life, and seeking one’s own destiny.
