To whom it may concern

July comes to a close and that means it's time for our discussion post on Meddling Kids by Edgar Cantero!

Here are some questions to get you started:

1. What did you least expect that happened in this book?

2. How do you think a similar plot would play out in Eerie-verse?

Our next book is The Longing and the Lack by CM Spivey. The discussion post will go up August 31st!

Also reminder that we have our Nominations post for our next round of books, so head on over and throw in your ideas

As we wrap up another month (wtf is time even), it's time to discuss our next book club book: Welcome to Night Vale.

Some questions to get you going:

- In what ways does Night Vale remind you of Eerie?
- In what ways are they different?
- Do you think, given enough time, Eerie might one day become what Night Vale is? Why or why not?

And of course, feel free to bring up whatever topics interest you!

Also reminder that the discussions for these are ALWAYS open so if you're "behind" (honestly no such thing, read whenever you want or can!) or if you reread a book and have new thoughts, feel free to jump in at any time!

Next book: Meddling Kids by Edgar Cantero
discussion post will go up July 31st.

Also sometime in July I will be posting a nomination post for new books, as I only have us scheduled through August, so start thinking of books you want to nominate!

Apologies for not posting this yesterday it has

been a week/weekend.

ANYWAY here we are to talk about Vol 1 of Paper Girls!

An Eerie question to get you going:

- How do you think this would play out in Eerie? Same? different? Similar but also different?

Our next book is:

Welcome to Night Vale by Joseph Fink and Jeffrey Cranor. You do not need to have listened to the podcast to understand this book, in case anyone who hasn't listened wants to join us. The book stands on it's own very well!

Discussion post will go up June 30 (this time I swear I won't forget xD)

You thought I forgot!! Okay I did forget but only in that I Forgot today was March 31 because this is the month that never fucking ends

So, let's talk about Lumberjanes!

Some questions to get you going:

- What Eerie characters could you see being Lumberjanes?

- On a scale of 1 to 10, how much trouble would the trio get in to?

- What badges do you think the Eerie characters would have earned? What badges do you think they'd make up to fit their own experiences?

Next book:
Maybird and the Ever After by Jodi Lynn Anderson

Discussion post goes up April 30

Not that I'm good at follow through... *stares at book club* (I promise I'll get that back up and running while I'm out recovering, if it's still something you guys wanna do. I have QUITE a list of books that are relevant).

Anyway.

1. I was talking with D, as I do frequently, about how cool it would be if Eerie fans got to write for any Eerie reboot - because HONESTLY I cannot imagine Eerie continuing without some of the amazing fanon this fandom has come up with. So I had a thought that we could have like. An Eerie writers' room and...create Eerie scripts? And then maybe do an Eerie Continues podcast or something?

I'm not sure how that would work wrt fair use/copyright, but I'm sure we could find a work around. If worse came to worst we could just treat them like podfic. I still have my kiwi6 account that doesn't get nearly enough use.

2. I'm rereading "Pairing: Pendragon/Merlin" cuz it's one of my favorite fics ever written and always gives me warm fuzzies, but it's also making me think about how fandom changes over time and all that and there's also a trans positive Harry Potter zine in the works so I thought: If I curated an Eerie Zine would anyone be interested in a) contributing to it and b) having a copy?

Anyway this is what my brain does when I have too much time to think, apparently.

(DEAREST FROODS, MASTER ARCHIVIST OF EERIE FANDOM, I have no idea how to tag this, I apologize)

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?

Next book: The Rest of Us Just Live Here by Patrick Ness
Discussion: April 22

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!

All right, so. Instead of doing a poll I decided for voting, at least for this round, we're going to rank the nominations. There are Seven nominations, so: number 1 is the book you most want to read first, number 7 is the book you least want to read first. I'll then use some Super Secret Tallying to either pick our first book or create a tie-breaker vote, depending on how this works out.

And the Nominations Are
May Bird and the Ever After by Jodi Lynn Anderson
Meddling Kids by Edgar Cantero
The Rest of Us Just Live Here by Patrick Ness
Bone Gap by Laura Ruby
Paper Girls vol. 1 by Brian K. Vaughn
Lumberjanes Vol. 1 by Noelle Stevenson
Welcome to Nightvale by Joseph Fink and Jeffrey Cranor
