🦭 Our group read discussion starts May 29 ✨


Good Morning Reader,

If you finished Wild Dark Shore by Charlotte McConaghy - or are still enduring through the last few dark, suspenseful chapters - it's almost time to talk about it.

Our discussion kicks off on May 29 in the Uncorked Readers Facebook group. I have so many feelings. Wooooffffff, what a novel, and it definitely gave me nightmares. If you haven't started, check the trigger warnings. It's a heavy read.

I'll be breaking up the discussion across three days:

πŸ“– May 29: The overall book

πŸ§‘πŸ»β€πŸ”¬ May 30: Characters (I have opinions about Rowan & Dom)

🏝️ May 31: That setting, and what it all means

I put together all of the discussion questions so that you can read through them ahead of time, mark your favorites, and get ready to discuss, lament, and scream into the wind and water.

πŸ—£οΈ Grab the discussion questions here. (There are some spoilers.)

See you in Uncorked Readers.
