Hello, Bookies

I'm Danielle Virgin, associate director of digital technology for Time Inc. My job is to take ideas that folks come up with—for example, updating the look of a website or figuring out how to integrate with Facebook—and bring them to life on the Web. I have had the pleasure of working across many of our sites here at Time Inc., but have always had a soft spot in my heart for RealSimple.com because it is the site that I have worked with the longest.

I was so excited when asked to lead this month's book club, but then immediately went into a state of panic about choosing the right book. I dug up every book review I had saved over the past two years and spent hours researching and reading online reviews to come up with the choices for January. I hope you are excited about this month's pick and that you get some nice reading time in over the holidays! Let's plan to cover the book in four sections, just as has been written: Early Twenties, Late Twenties, Early Thirties, and Late Thirties. I will return on January 3 for our first discussion, Early Twenties.

Happy holidays!

—Danielle
