Eerie Indiana Virtual Book Club: "Bone Gap" Discussion Post

[evilinsanemonkey]

First, I apologize profusely for forgetting to put this up on Saturday. But I figure I'll get it up today and we can spend the week just chatting about the book. Have it be a nice relaxed thing!

So without further ado, let's talk about Laura Ruby's Bone Gap!

Some questions to get you started:

General

+ Do you think Petey is right about why Finn likes her? Do you think it matters?

+ What do you think the place Roza was taken is?

+ How does this book handle family?

Eerie

+ In what ways does this book make you think of Eerie?

+ What do you think the characters of Eerie and the characters of Bone Gap would think of each other?

Also we need a tie breaker! "May Bird and the Ever After" and "Lumberjanes" are tied, so let me know which one you'd like to read first!

such a lyrical feel to it and it was kind of gorgeous in its prose

Yes! this is kinda what I was trying to say when I said It was beautifully written, only better expressed! there were times, the nighttime excursions with the horse and Miguel with the corn, that it had the sweet lulling rhythm of a tale told at bedtime

Yes! I really liked this writing style and want to read more by this author. There was something a little Neil Gaiman-esque (when Gaiman's in fairy tale mode) about it, except also distinctly Midwest USA.
