September’s Monthly Pick
Want
By Gillian Anderson
Our Happy Place Book club pick for September is Want by Gillian Anderson. This book is so incredible. It contains sexual fantasies that have been submitted by women from all over the world, with very different backgrounds and experiences of life, and it’s all thematically put into different categories. Gillian Anderson then does a beautiful introduction to each section, and she’s also submitted her own sexual fantasy anonymously in this book, which really gets you thinking.
I couldn’t put this book down. It’s so entertaining. It’s so fruity. But it’s also so fascinating. So many different questions come up from reading the book. It’s deeply interesting at times. It can be very tender, but also really sad as well, and makes us think about how much shame and guilt is attached to sexual fantasies. It’s totally liberating. And I think you’re going to love reading along with this. This September. It’s Want by Gillian Anderson.
