What I Read and How I Found It

Gone Girl: A Novel by Gillian Flynn
Published by Crown/Random House

I loved Flynn’s first book, Sharp Objects, and somehow missed her second, Dark Places. I was thrilled when my friend Josh Christie posted this NPR link and the comment, “What the hell, GONE GIRL? Gillian Flynn’s new book took a branding iron to my brain.”

And then, just days later, I learned that Flynn was signing at Tattered Cover. I went to hear her speak (she prefers Gates BBQ to Arthur Bryant’s) and bought a signed copy.
