SarahKat, I had The Chalk Man on my October list already for its orange cover. I would be happy to read it with you.

hi, I'd like to join The Chalk Man for October!

[Jen]

Did anyone confirm A Visit From the Goon Squad in November? I only saw the post about it today. I'd love to read it then.

[Beth]

I'm suggesting Finn: A Novel by Jon Clinch for November.

This is a modern-day backstory for Huck Finn's father, Pap Finn. I encourage anyone interested to read the reviews. (One reviewer said, "The book is not supremely graphic in its gore, but it does contain multiple murders, one of which includes body dismemberment, and the sexual abuse of both an adult and a child, and something about how these scenes were written stayed with me.")

In spite of that, I'm curious enough to go for it. There are a lot of positive reviews, and this seems like a logical next book after TAoHF this month and James in October.

[SarahKat, Buddy Reads]

Jen, it was not confirmed until you joined!
