I Am Loving The Middle Place!

Middle Place by Kelly Corrigan I just wanted to say how much I am loving Kelly Corrigan's The Middle Place which I'm reading this weekend in preparation for our online book club show with her on Wednesday night. God, I love this book. I am finding myself reading it while trying to do other things around the house, I just can't put it down. She so perfectly identifies the emotions of being a mother AND a daughter. I'm hoping that my mother is reading along as well and that she can tune in on Wednesday. If you haven't yet, set your reminder for the show here. Be sure to register on the Blog Talk Radio site before the show so that you'll be able to participate in the chat. And you can call in and ask Corrigan (and me) questions directly at 347-945-6149. Check out book club questions for the book here. See you Wednesday at 7 pm EST!

I have this one on hold at the library. I'm trying (and failing, I might add) to remember who told me about this book, but I know so many people in that spot, squeezed between two generations and trying to make the best of it.

I seem to be on a roll, these days, with "women-related" books. (Don't most of us go through phases of a bunch of similar kinds of books, before going on to something else? Maybe it's just me.) But in between the latest Robert Parker and my continuing affection for the Betsy-Tacy books, I've been reading great vignettes by women on how they achieved success. It's The Power of Women United," and is just very interesting. It's real words, by real women that have resonated -- as I imagine Kelly Corrigan's words resonate in her book. It's inspiring, for women who want to really see their goals realized.

Hmm -- can't tell if you take links or not -- here's one to the book: www.powerofwomenunited.com. Hope it works.

Thanks Lizzie, and are you really a Betsy-Tacy fan or are you just teasing me? Check out the link to the convention on the upper left side of the blog!

LISTEN NOW TO AUTHORS DISCUSSING THEIR BOOKS

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.
