I Am Beyond Excited for Kelly Corrigan's Lift

Lift by Kelly Corrigan I got an email from Kelly Corrigan today! OK, so did a lot of people, but it announced her new book, Lift, a 96-page letter to her daughters that goes on sale next week. I absolutely loved The Middle Place, her moving and inspiring memoir about her experience with breast cancer and that "middle place" that women find themselves as daughters and mothers. Kelly was kind enough to join me on Book Club Girl on Air last year to discuss it with many of you. As there was for The Middle Place, there is once again an amazing video to introduce Lift, featuring Kelly and her beautiful daughters. I cannot wait to read this book. Read an excerpt from Lift and look for Kelly on tour near you in the coming weeks. Check out the reading group questions for Lift, and watch the video below, with a hanky handy...

THE MIDDLE PLACE was such a great book! And Kelly Corrigan is so genuine and real in the clips I've seen on You Tube.

    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.
