We've Arrived!

So I'm sitting here watching tv, thinking about what to post when what do I hear but "the book club was coming over..." It's an ad for Silk soy milk centered on a book club! I tried to find it on either their website or youtube to no avail. In any case, these women all try soy milk and find it's pretty good. All ok in my book except for I don't know any book group that sits around drinking milk. Unless maybe they're all pregnant. Too bad you can't advertise alcohol on tv, we'd be all over the air waves!

I saw the Silk ad too and had similar feelings! Most of my book club are all about the wine, but hey...whatever works! :)

Sutter Wine has a book group page on its site for all you who like to enjoy a glass of wine with your book club.

Ha, too funny. My book club sure doesn't drink milk - we are more a beer and wine crowd.

I wonder if soy milk would substitute equally for a milk or even single cream addition to a sweet martini [sweetini]? Must....experiment...

I love this post! I haven't seen the commercial yet. We usually have wine, tea, or coffee at my meetings. Occasionally we'll even pop open a bottle of bubbly! Maybe I'll bring soymilk next time!

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.
