let's meet on Monday, January 16 to discuss

the movie is also coming out soon!

Ok!

It's short, only 200 pages

perfect!

I read it somewhat recently... didn't love it (didn't hate it either) but thought it would make for interesting discussion what with the artistic conceptual tie ins

it sounds interesting

also, doing a search to request from my library I saw he's written a retelling of the crane wife, so requesting that, too!

Weirdly, when I was looking for this at the library and couldn't find it, I tried the nearest catalog computer… and the previous user had also been looking for a Patrick Ness book!

it your alter ego who is also in our book club???

That would be a surprise turns out they were looking for chaos walking

Wasn't Days of Heaven a movie club pick? I'm reading Carrie Fisher's book and she just said she auditioned for that movie with John Travolta! Can you imagine!?

Now that is a parallel universe

oh my god
