[rubysmama]

The book we've chosen for November is the 2006 debut novel by # 1 New York Times, best selling author, Gillian Flynn.

The book for November 2021 is
Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn

We will be reading it between November 1st and November 21st
Discussion will begin November 22nd

Everyone is welcome to read along with us. You can RSVP that you're going to read it, by posting in this thread.

Reviews can be read at Goodreads: Sharp Objects

I think that covers everything, however, if you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Quick question! do I need to read Gone Girl / Dark places in order to understand this?? I'd like to read it! But when I went to buy it I saw a boxed set and wanted to just make sure!

 

[rubysmama]

Krienze : No. All 3 novels are standalones, so you don't need to read them in order.

Would love to join! I've read it before but I have horrible mid term memory so I often re read and re watch things I've liked as I forget most everything that happened.

 

[rubysmama]

noani : Welcome to TCS. Glad you're considering reading along with us in November.

We're currently celebrating our book club's 2nd anniversary, with a "read anything you want" book in October. So maybe you might like to join us earlier than November. That goes for you, too, Krienze , and anyone else reading.

I believe I'm going to be in. Will go look if it's at the library.

I felt "Gone Girl" was not a very satisfactory read. Is "Sharp Objects" better or equally frustrating?

I've not read either, so I'm not any help. Maybe skim some of the reviews at Goodreads?

Thank you for the tip. Just the questions and answers on Goodreads have put me off the book. If I'm going to have to skip the "disturbing" parts, I may as well read something where the subject matter is generally less painful to me as the reader. I don't mind a murder or two but .......... there is a limit

Just bumping this thread since it's November 1st.

Anyone start Sharp Objects yet?

 

[verna davies]

Waiting for my copy to come from the library.

 

[rubysmama]

I'll be reading it, but have to finish the book I'm currently reading first.

 

[Mamanyt1953]

I think I won't. I think this one might be somewhat triggering for me, but, my goodness, y'all enjoy!

This is a reread for me but a welcome one!

WARNING:This book deals with self-harm but has a good ending.

 

[pearl99]

I’m going to skip this one, I read reviews and it sounds like too much of a dark place for me.
Enjoy the book and discussion!

I think I'm going to try reading it after I finish the book I'm reading now.

It's really good, Lola. They have made it into an HBO mini-series.
