Now This is a Book Group I'd Really Like to Join

Book Clubs are Talking About...

Gwyneth Paltrow has started a book group that includes, among her friends, Madonna. Oh how I would love to join that book club! Gwyneth lists Jane Eyre and The Sheltering Sky among her favorite novels and Madonna loves The Bad Girl by Mario Vargas Llosa and The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger. See the full list of books all her friends love, including Their Eyes Were Watching God and The Poisonwood Bible at her very cool website Goop.

That Goop site is pretty neat. I would LOVE to be in a book group like that, but the one I have is pretty cool too ;)

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.
