Celebrate Earth Day and Win an Advance Paperback of Barbara Kingsolver's Animal, Vegetable, Miracle

Journal1In honor of Earth Day today, I'm welcoming tips on how you can make a difference in your home or life to help the earth. I'll do a random drawing of the tips received in comments and award two lucky winners an Ecojot journal made of 100% recycled paper, plus the paperback of Barbara Kingsolver's Animal, Vegetable, Miracle, which goes on sale on in one week!

Animal_veg_2And here's my tip directed specifically to book groups -- next time you pick your book, rather than buying new copies, why not check your books out of the library -- library books are the ultimate in earth-conscious reading as they are shared over and over again. And many libraries offer "book club kits" where multiples of the same book are packaged together with a reading group guide and other supplemental reading.

Who is Book Club Girl?

  • Book Club Girl is: a member of two book clubs currently -- one very official and one very ad-hoc -- 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.
