Josh Kilmer-Purcell's Candy Everybody Wants On Sale Today!

Josh_and_james_2Josh Kilmer-Purcell, author of the acclaimed memoir, I Am Not Myself These Days, returns with his first novel, Candy Everybody Wants, about a young gay teen in Wisconsin yearning to hit the big time in Hollywood. Here's a pic of Josh hobnobbing with James Frey (whose new book is also on sale today) at the Candy book launch party last night in NYC. Here's a link to the HILARIOUS video of the lost "Dallasty" episode written by the protagonist of Candy -- look for the special '80s guest star! You can check out the PS section to Candy here to see some hilarious pics of toddler Josh parading around in his mother's wig (sign of things to come...). And lastly, here is the reading guide.

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.
