The Go On Girl! Book Club Chapters

Despite the rapid growth, GOG has remained true to its origins. There are over 30 chapters in the following states:

    Alabama
  • Illinois
  • Indiana
  • Maryland
  • New Jersey
  • New York
  • North Carolina
  • Pennsylvania
  • South Carolina
  • Texas
  • Washington DC

  • Virginia

Each chapter is limited to 12 members, however, there is no limit to the number of chapters that can exist in any given city or state. Chapters meet monthly to discuss that month's book. Each year, GOG members vote on the best books in certain categories based on that year's reading list. Authors are recognized at the club's annual meeting and awards ceremony.
