Target's New Book Club Pick is Shelter Me

Shelter me Target's new book club pick went on sale in all their stores this week and it's the debut novel Shelter Me by Juliette Fay. In this compelling novel, a newly widowed mother struggles to care for her two young children as she battles the grief that threatens to undo her. Bestselling author Marisa de los Santos called Shelter Me: "A gorgeous paradox of a book: a deep, thoughtful exploration of a young mother's first year of widowhood that is as much a page-turner as any thriller." You can read a full description of the book here, an excerpt here and check out the reading group guide here. Learn more about author Juliette Fay here. I can't wait to dive into this one.

I didn't know Target had a book club pick. They usually have a good selection of books, though.

I am first in line for this book at our library ... been waiting since the beginning of December. I am anxious for the library to get a copy so I can read it.

I just blogged about this too! I was lucky enough to score an ARC last month. It was a wonderful book and a terrific book club selection!

I read a review of this on Booking Mama earlier this month. The book sounds great, and looks great (I love the cover!)

Happy New Year to you.

There is not much to choose between men.but some have more strength of character, or more opportunity, and so in one direction or another give their instincts freer play, but potentially they are the same.

It is well if they lead us to take ourselves not too seriously. and if they enable us to look upon our fellows, even the most eminent and respectable, with humor.

It's difficult to know at what moment love begins; it is less difficult to know that it has begun.

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.
