Alice Notley, from Selected Poems of Alice Notley; "September Book,"
After a very tight race Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia won by just one point! If you’re looking for somewhere to pick up this book try one of these black owned indies. I hope to see you all back here for our discussion on September 20th!
After receiving a frantic letter from her newlywed cousin begging for someone to save her from a mysterious doom, Noemí Taboada heads to High Place, a distant house in the Mexican countryside ... Noemí, mesmerized by the terrifying yet seductive world of High Place, may soon find it impossible to ever leave this enigmatic house behind. (xx)
My September book from the Willoughby Book Club arrived and it's Jewel by Amy Ewing. Have any of you read it?
It’s HERE, vote for our September book! Next month we’ll be voting on books for October so be sure to leave any spooky book recommendations you have :) Voting ends August 15th 11:59 AM EST.
And don’t forget about our discussion of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo on August 16th!
What were some of the dreams Denver and Dali hoped to realize through singing and possibly becoming famous?
Hey you!
Yes you! We’re having our discussion on Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia tomorrow at 2pm EST. Can’t make it? That’s okay, feel free to add your thoughts when you’re free!
When nurse Charlie Cullen was arrested in 2003, journalists were quick to dub him "The Angel of Death." But Cullen was neither a mercy killer nor a simple monster. He was a son, a husband, a father, a best friend, and a valued caregiver. He was also implicated in the deaths of as many as 400 people, and may be the most prolific serial killer in American history.
Cullen's career in the world's most trusted profession spanned sixteen years, across nine hospitals. In this riveting work of investigative journalism, Charles Graeber-the only person Cullen chose to speak with following his arrest-reveals how Cullen got away with murder for so long. Based on hundreds of hours of previously unseen and unheard footage, recordings, and records, as well as extensive interviews with homicide detectives, Cullen's friends, family, coworkers, and confidential informants and whistleblowers, plus exclusive, one-on-one interviews with Cullen, himself, THE GOOD NURSE paints a dramatic portrait of madness and the bounds of friendship, and shines a spotlight on America's medical system. A harrowing and irresistibly paced book, you'll never look at a hospital the same way again.
Guys? GUYS?! G U Y S!??!? IM SO EXCITED FOR THIS BOOK!
Ok, so it’s September and that means we are doing our “read back” book, where we revisit a book from our school days. And let me tell you, “Ella Enchanted” by Gail Carson Levine was one of the first books to give me FEELINGS in all caps. I’m so excited to read this and I hope you’ll join us. Grab this classic book on Amazon or at an Inde bookstore near you and read with us!! Our date for discussion on twitter is Wednesday, September 26th at 8pm EST.
