We're Mankato Bound to Celebrate Betsy-Tacy!

Heaven to Betsy and Betsy in Spite of Herself by Maud Hart Lovelace Or should I say, Deep Valley bound? My sister arrived this evening, my bags are packed and we're heading to the airport in the morning to fly to Minneapolis. We'll spend a couple of hours upon arriving in Minneapolis touring Maud Hart Lovelace's homes there, with a stop to see the house that Mary Richards lived in in Mary Tyler Moore and to see the MTM statue (remember to bring hat to throw up in the air). Then we'll drive the 1 1/2 or so hours to Mankato, childhood home of Lovelace and the setting for the Betsy-Tacy Convention! The convention kicks off with Ice Cream at Heinz's Ice Cream Parlor tomorrow night. I think we'll try the Imperial and see if we can finish it (definitely Game Off this weekend). I will also attempt my first vlog on this trip so stay tuned!

    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.
