Our Book Club is open to all growth-minded women. We read and discuss personal development books and books that will expand our minds and hearts.
What to Expect
The Sage Sisters Book Club reads books related to mindset and our inner selves, relationships and communication, spirituality, physical wellbeing, and practical living. We also read books that open our minds and hearts.
The Book Club is facilitated by Janet Tamassia. We often begin with an overview of the book and its main ideas, then have an open, free-flowing discussion with questions to help facilitate our dialogue. Book notes created by Janet are shared with Members.
Our discussions are open, thoughtful, and respectful. Members are encouraged to read the books they believe will help them discover, learn, and grow. Participation in all discussions is optional.
When We Meet
Book Club discussions are held quarterly, on a weekday evening (Mon-Thu) from 7:30-9:00pm ET, on Zoom. All are welcome. Additional in-person discussions (in the Ashburn, Virginia area) are being considered. Let me know if you are interested!

"I have generally always focused on professional development and when, during the pandemic lockdowns, I started rethinking many things. Then I met Janet and she invited me to check out her book club. After one book club zoom, I joined. One of my best pandemic decisions! I have read books that have been on my top read list for years, books and authors I’ve never heard of and I have learned SO MUCH. I have also connected with amazing women who at first glance I’d think I have nothing in common with, but after discussing books and sharing our troubles and triumphs, have found so many new and positive connections." - Sage Sisters Member
