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.

Book Club Girl's Book Club Is Reading
Book Club Girl's Book Club Has Read
Thanks so much for posting this. I hadn't finished the book yet so I didn't tune in...I can't wait to hear what I missed. I am LOVING this book and am so glad you sponsored the talk. I love Book Club Girl!
Posted by: Prisca | May 23, 2008 at 09:03 AM
I have yet to read the book but I listened to the podcast and I think it's great that you host these interviews. I think back to book clubs that existed ten years ago and how rare it was to get the author's point of view. All I can say is that I am grateful for technology.
