Girls Just Reading Book Club Expands

Four years ago, the girls of Girls Just Reading and our friend started a virtual book club (see our explanation here).

When Girls Just Reading came into being we tried to bring our virtual book club to you by doing group reviews of our Book Club Picks. Now we're taking it to another level.

Along with our "Currently Reading" selections you will also find our next Book Club Pick and our due date so you can read what we're reading and be ready to post your comments! Our next pick is Sing Them Home by Stephanie Kallos and we plan to be ready to discuss it around the first week of April. We look forward to your point of view!

Girls Just Reading Book Club

Sometime last year, Julie, Lisa, another friend, and I decided we wanted to start a book club. This is logistically difficult as we all reside in different areas of the east coast, which makes our little book club not-so-traditional; our book ‘discussions’ range from message boards to emails and tend to be more comments and reviews than discussions. How does that fit the mold of a book club, you might ask? Well, it introduces us to books we may not have picked up on our own, which, in my mind, should be one of the main functions of a book club.

Now with our Girls Just Reading site in place, we thought it might be an interesting exercise to do group reviews of our book club picks. Our first pick for this site is A Thousand Splendid Suns.
