Listen to Tonight's Show with Todd Johnson Now!

I had so much fun tonight talking with Todd Johnson about his heartbreaking, poignant and at times, hilarious, novel, The Sweet By & By. I loved what he told us about the inspiration for the novel, how he wrote it and what it was like for him to write in the voices of the five wonderful women he created. He discussed some of his literary influences and favorite writers, including Reynolds Price and Jill McCorkle. We also talked about the reaction to the book and the countless letters he continues to receive (some of which are reprinted in the paperback edition of the book). Listen in to hear the entire show now. Thanks so much to Todd for joining us and thank you to all of you who joined us to participate in the discussion!

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.
