If you’re working on your newest novel, now’s a good time to come to the library for NaNoWriMo. But that’s in November, you say? Well, now there’s Camp NaNoWriMo — the difference being that you set your OWN word count goals. This is a great way to get into the habit of writing without that 50,000 word requirement looming over you! Any kind of goal will do — a short story per week, a poem per week, 1000 words a day — it’s up to you!
Every Friday afternoon in April, from 3-6pm, we’ll have all sorts of encouragement, writing dashes, snacks, prizes for goals met, and plot ninjas available for when your imagination goes on the fritz. There will be dedicated computer time, and we have open wifi so bring your laptops! We’ll have free notebooks and pencils for all writers, so come on by, there’s nothing to lose.
Saturday, April 27 at 10:30 am we’ll be discussing Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn.
Marriage can be a real killer.
One of the most critically acclaimed suspense writers of our time, New York Times bestseller Gillian Flynn takes that statement to its darkest place in this unputdownable masterpiece about a marriage gone terribly, terribly wrong. The Chicago Tribune proclaimed that her work “draws you in and keeps you reading with the force of a pure but nasty addiction.” Gone Girl’s toxic mix of sharp-edged wit and deliciously chilling prose creates a nerve-fraying thriller that confounds you at every turn.
On a warm summer morning in North Carthage, Missouri, it is Nick and Amy Dunne’s fifth wedding anniversary. Presents are being wrapped and reservations are being made when Nick’s clever and beautiful wife disappears from their rented McMansion on the Mississippi River. Husband-of-the-Year Nick isn’t doing himself any favors with cringe-worthy daydreams about the slope and shape of his wife’s head, but passages from Amy’s diary reveal the alpha-girl perfectionist could have put anyone dangerously on edge. Under mounting pressure from the police and the media—as well as Amy’s fiercely doting parents—the town golden boy parades an endless series of lies, deceits, and inappropriate behavior. Nick is oddly evasive, and he’s definitely bitter—but is he really a killer?
As the cops close in, every couple in town is soon wondering how well they know the one that they love. With his twin sister, Margo, at his side, Nick stands by his innocence. Trouble is, if Nick didn’t do it, where is that beautiful wife? And what was in that silvery gift box hidden in the back of her bedroom closet?
With her razor-sharp writing and trademark psychological insight, Gillian Flynn delivers a fast-paced, devilishly dark, and ingeniously plotted thriller that confirms her status as one of the hottest writers around.
