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.

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.
