Right and since she knows how to post to LJ I would say: customize a Wordpress blog (on wordpress.com, maybe, where they take care of things if you have dos-attacks) or on your own webspace - and get one of the plugins that allow cross-posting between LJ and Wordpress.
Fiddle with the layout (the basic would be to pick one with a design you like, change the tab/button names and put some of the book graphics behind the header) and then go live ^^. You get comments, you can do polls, you can link to your own books on amazon.com and get some money for that (as an affiliate) if you even want to do that, as someone who works in an honest bookstore.
I can only work in stuff like Dreamweaver preview mode to code websites and fiddle with existing layouts (www.bookish.net is based on a golf site layout by Alex King), but it worked for my school newspaper (www.zeitung-hk.de) just as well as a blog.
