Jane, Jane, Jane...Part 3

MansfieldDon't forget, Mansfield Park is tomorrow night, or tonight, depending on when you read this. Watch the trailer here. And I just figured out how they're going to squeeze the Colin Firth P&P adaptation in -- it will air over three weeks from 2/10 - 24. Before that, and after Mansfield, we'll have the biopic Miss Austen Regrets, starring Olivia Williams--and, thanks to imdb.com, I've finally realized where I remember her from -- the Peter Pan from a few years back.

I didn't like this version of MP. I went back and watched the BBC version with Sylvestre Le Touzel (sp?) and have to say that I think I like Ang Lee's version the best. Which I think is the one that most people hated. Oh well, at least there is a version for everyone with MP because there are so many ways to interpret it.

Who is Book Club Girl?

  • Book Club Girl is: a member of a book club and an avid reader who spent most of her childhood immersed in a book, an English major who considered library school until she realized it was all about computers, so turned to publishing, where she now works (but she vows to talk about books from all over and not to simply flog those from her own house). She was single, lived in the city, met a man, moved to the 'burbs, and is now a wife, a stepmother, a mother, and in her spare time, a fledgling blogger dedicated to sharing great books, news and tips with book club girls everywhere.

My Review Policy

  • I review fiction and nonfiction that is appropriate for book clubs. This includes literary and some women's commercial fiction as well as memoir and narrative nonfiction. I do not review self-help, thrillers, mysteries, horror, or fantasy. I have a fondness for YA literature and while the blog is not devoted to it (well, except for my obsession with the Betsy-Tacy series), I will occasionally review some YA books. The best way to reach me to request a review is to email me at bookclubgirl AT gmail DOT com.
