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!

it really fit with her character and her experience and what she was used to people thinking about her and it hurt and I wanted to give her a hug.

Omg SAME damn I wanted to hug her in that moment!

Petey is such a great character.

I feel like she and Sara Sue would get along dangerously well. Throw Melanie in and no one stands a chance.

I would love that fic!

YESSSSSSS I NEED IT

Oh my God YES! I can see the Rudes and the Bobs running wild, getting into all of Sara Sue's stuff and Petey tearing strips off them while Sara Sue hangs back, kind of aghast but also kind of completely in love with her.
