Masterpiece's New Emma Gets a Thumbs Up in Today's New York Times

EMMA_Couple[1] I'm getting very excited for this Sunday's new 3-part adaptation of Emma by Jane Austen. First I took the quiz to see which man of Highbury I would marry (must retake that quiz) and then I read today's wonderful review in the New York Times. As I said earlier this week, I truly love Gwyneth's Emma, but I am definitely checking this one out. Plus, who can resist watching Jane Austen AND twittering? There will be a twitter party during the broadcast! Mrs. Elton would definitely NOT approve (which makes it all the more appealing).

The Kool-Aid Mom

Yay! I gots Mr. Knightly for a match! I had a bit of a bookie crush on him when reading the book, and I liked the old BBC Mr. Knightly played by John Carson.

I'll have to check out the twitter party and try to remember to watch it. Thanks for the post :-)

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.
