We had an awesome time last night at Schlafly Bottleworks to discuss Bone Gap by Laura Ruby. Five people attended the inaugural YA² meeting, and on the whole, we had a great time reading this debut novel. We found it creepy, magical, and surprising in all the right ways! We also voted on the selection for the July book club…Grasshopper Jungle by Andrew Smith won! More details can be found here.
Along with discussions of strong female protagonists and a mutual love for Neverending Story, we shared other titles and authors we’ve been enjoying lately:
- Carry On by Rainbow Rowell
- Saint Mazie by Jami Attenberg
- Nick Offerman
- Ruth Reichl
- City of Dark Magic by Magnus Flyte
- The Daughter of Smoke and Bone series by Laini Taylor
