About Book Club

AG & AG Book Club is a way for members to grow intellectually in areas of self-defense, mindset, marksmanship, preparedness, confidence, and more. The Book Club serves as a community in which to participate virtually from your own home for a casual gathering to discuss relevant topics with like-minded women.

Book Club meetings are on the last Thursdays of every month at 6pm Central Time. Occasionally, Book Club will be rescheduled when the last Thursday conflicts with a major holiday, such as Thanksgiving, so watch for announcements. 

Our Monthly Virtual Meeting takes place on the last Thursday of each month at 6pm Central Time. Members can instantly join our discussion group and submit comments to the authors. Please log in to check your status or join today!
