The Pulpwood Queen's Book!

You first read about the Pulpwood Queen's Book Club (on this blog that is) here, when Confessions of a Jane Austen Addict author Laurie Viera Rigler posted about her hilarious trip to Kathy Patrick's Beauty and the Book bookshop. Now Patrick herself is an author, with the newly released, The Pulpwood Queen's Tiara Wearing Book Sharing Guide to Life, which tells Patrick's own story of going from publishing sales rep to bookstore owner and leader of one of the largest book discussion groups in the country. Patrick offers her tips on how to start a book club, lists of great books and recipes to accompany them. Read an excerpt, check out the reading group guide and see if you can catch Kathy on tour. Tonight she was in Natchitoches -- a name I love (even more so thanks to Lucinda Williams). Patrick's favorite book of all time? The recently blogged about To Kill a Mockingbird.
