I've just been told about a fantastic online resource for book club members and all book lovers: LitLovers.com. The site, run by a former college English instructor, features reading group guides which in addition to the traditional questions have in-depth features on the author, details on what the critics had to say as well as little-known facts about each book. The site offers short courses to sharpen your literary skills, a shop in which you can buy lovely gifts for your book club host (or yourself) and Lit Fun -- a potpourri of other things book people will enjoy like great literary film adaptations, ideas for mothers and children, recipes for foods to enjoy at your book club and more. Check it out!

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.

Greetings,
I noticed your posting about LitLovers. We have started a new online book club site where people can choose books, invite friends, and read and discuss books together.
It's all pretty new and we are interested in having some people join, give it a try, and give us feedback on how they like it. We hope you like it, and if so (or not) we're hoping to get some blog reviews about the site as well.
You can get there at:

My name is Jason, and if you have any questions or comments (good or bad) feel free to contact me
Regards,
Jason
