Anything Goes Book Club

General Information

This is a monthly club for women who enjoy reading both fiction and non-fiction books. The books are chosen by the group, after soliciting, receiving, and discussing recommendations from members. Every member steps up to be the discussion leader for one of the books recommended by either themselves or another member. 



Our meetings begin with the book discussion and end with a check-in from each member. This way we get to the meat of the meeting first, but we also make time to get to know and support each other. We invite you to join us every first Thursday of the month at our new time - 10:00 AM.



New members, new ideas and new opinions are always welcome. And remember, you can come for just one meeting if you are particularly interested in the book of the day. 


If you are interested in participating or want to be on our contact list, 1) add yourself to the contact group or 2) Contact Eleni Skevas, if you need the zoom link, using the Member Directory. If not a member, please contact us.

 


Event Information

Nine women got together on August 1, a very rainy day, in person at Silverwood Park to talk about Saturday Night at the Lakeside Supper ClubMost of us were glad we had read, but it didn't rank on our list of top books. We liked the references to Minnesota places and customs we are familiar with. We were glad there were a limited number of characters, but thought we needed a diagram of who they were anyhow. We discussed how Stradal once again has such strong female characters and weak male characters.

We set plans for the upcoming months. All meetings are at 10:00-11:30 AM. We will meet in person through November and avoid winter driving by using zoom in December-March.

Curious what books we have read in the past? Check out the list here.


The book club is open to all members (and non-members are welcome to join us a couple times before becoming a member of our organization). It’s helpful if you’ve read the book, of course, but if you just want to listen in and test the waters without reading the book, don’t hesitate to do so. Please add yourself to the group using the instructions above on this webpage.
