Well we’re more than half way through October so I figure I might as well tell you what I read in September. Maybe one day I’ll get to these sentences quicker… September 2012 #35: Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn - What??? I wasn’t surprised by anything in this. The internet, the blogs, the real life people all said Gone Girl would be nuts but I guess it just wasn’t for me. Crazy people do crazy things, that’s just the way it is. #36: Girlchild by Tupelo Hassman - Y'all, please go read this. It is so simple yet so perfect. The story is of a young girl who wants to be a girl scout when there are no others around her. But it’s also more than that. It’s also about Nevada, and family, and growing up, and hurt, and survival. So much good here. #37: The Words of Every Song by Liz Moore - Liz Moore, if you ever read this (and I hope you do), consider this my fan note. As someone who loved your second novel, I was excited to go back to the beginning. The added bonus of the New York music scene only made me more enthusiastic about your work. Please keep writing so I can keep reading. #38: This is How You Lose Her by Junot Diaz - What is there to say that hasn’t already been said? I’m not sure. All I know is that it’s the perfect book to read entirely on a 3 hour flight. It is no more or less than that. Diaz clearly knows what he’s doing and I will probably buy whatever he writes. It seems that plenty of other people feel the same. -- source link
