Anything Goes Book SIG

General Information

This is a monthly group 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. We rotate leadership of the meetings among the participants. Curious what books this group has read in the past? Check out the list here.


The book group is open to all Women's Connection members. Nonmembers are welcome to join us a couple of times before becoming a member of Women's Connection.


Our meetings include a book discussion and a check-in from each member. This way we get to discuss the book we've read and we also take time to get to know and support each other. We appreciate involvement of anyone who wants to participate in the group, whether they've read the book or not.


We meet every month on the first Thursday of the month. From December through February, we meet via zoom from 10 AM to 11:30 AM. From March through November, we meet in person at the Shoreview Library from 10:15 AM to 10:45 AM in the book club room. The Shoreview Library is located at 4560 Victoria Ave. N.


Meeting reminders with zoom links and/or confirming location are sent out a few days ahead of our meeting to our contact list. If you are interested in participating or want to be on our contact list, 1) login and add yourself to the contact group or 2) Contact us at msp@womenconnecting.org if you have questions. Chris Di Pietro is the administrator for the group and updates the webpage, collects books suggestions, sets up zoom meetings, reserves rooms, and sends out communications. Linda Grant makes arrangements for discussion leaders for each of our meetings.
