Oh, What a Wonderful Morning - BEA Week Begins!

To paraphrase Oklahoma, what a wonderful morning today at work when we were visited by not one, not two, not three, but EIGHT book bloggers who are in town for BEA and the Book Blogger Convention on Friday! It was so nice to sit down with Trish from Hey Lady! Whatcha Readin'?, Natasha from Maw Books, Nicole from Linus's Blanket, Lenore from Presenting Lenore, Michelle from Galley Smith, Alea from Pop Culture Junkie, Amy from My Friend Amy, and Gail from Ticket to Anywhere. We chatted about how it all works between publishers, bloggers and authors and how it can work better. The gals then popped into our video studio to shoot a quick video hello (to come!) and we followed that up with lunch and chatting about some of our favorite books coming out in the next few months. I wish I could have stayed talking all day, but I had to do some work for the rest of BEA week. And of course, I felt better knowing that this was just the beginning of a week of blogger fun at BEA!

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.
