Hey guys
March is almost to a close so I wanted to go ahead and post some questions that Celeste Ng (the author) created for book clubs to discuss! I will post a few each day. Looking forward to hearing how everyone liked the book <3

1. Shaker Heights is almost another character in the novel. Do you believe that “the best communities are planned”? Why or why not?

2.There are many different kinds of mother-daughter relationships in the novel. Which ones did you find most compelling? Do mothers have a unique ability to spark fires, for good and ill, in us?

3.Which of the Richardson children is most changed by the events of the novel? How do you think this time ultimately changes Lexie’s life? Trip’s? Moody’s? Izzy’s

I started it two nights ago! So far I really like it, I actually JUST finished her other book a week ago so I have some understanding of her "writing voice" and am excited to compare and contrast the two books. Anyone else already started it?

Authors have begun to make playlists to go with their books (I LOVE this idea). This is Celeste Ng's spotify playlist for Little Fires Everywhere, I thought it would be fun to share so people can be even more immersed in the book!

Ok the people have spoken our first book will be Little Fires Everywhere!!! Sorry to anyone who has already read it, this book just ended up being one many people wanted to read.

If theres a book you want to suggest for April, let me know!!

I am SOOOOO excited to do this with you guys. One suggestion was to do most of our dicussion on here BUT maybe do a google hangout on a day that works for everyone and actually discuss it face to face :)
xo, g

I have been hearing good things about "The Immortalists". Other suggestions would be:
Middlesex
The Secret History
The Ocean at the End of the Lane
Little Fires Everywhere
The Girls
When Breath Becomes Air
The Goldfinch

What are YOUR ideas?
