We were chosen!
HarperCollins Publishers chooses ten book clubs every year to be an official "Book Club Girl Book Club." They selected us for 2018! As I get more information, I will put it here. As members we will receive Book Club Girl-branded gear and a pick from a menu of 6-8 titles every month to discuss! We may also be given the opportunity for an author Skype or call-in during the year.
The Community
We also will receive exclusive membership in the Book Club Girl Facebook group to connect with other Book Club Girl readers and book clubs. The 'most social' club at the end of the year will be awarded a special prize!
As members, we are encouraged to review the books we receive on sites like Amazon, Barnesandnoble and GoodReads. Posting pictures and thoughts about books on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram will help our club stand out.

The Fine Print
When we choose to post any reviews of Book Club Girl book selections at consumer websites, we should disclose that we received our copy for free as a member of the Book Club Girl Book Club and send a link of the review to the publisher. (I will post more specifics here when I receive them.)
