pickEvery time I read Alice munro‘s short stories I wonder why I ever read anything other than Alice munro‘s short stories. These were incredible as always, so rich and psychological but so simple and never pretentious. It‘s amazing how they can all ring so true despite being about lives so different from mine.
Hello from Latvia! My bf and I arrived here yesterday and currently I‘m reading some Alice Munro stories while we wait for our food in this big food hall to be done and Matt wanders round. Life is very good today 🥰
Second day in Vilnius and we‘re eating some bits and pieces at the hostel for lunch to save money and let our feet recover from a 2 hour walking tour. I‘m making a start on this Alice Munro collection that‘s been on my kindle waiting for me to get to it forever and I love it SO much. She‘s just the absolute short story master isn‘t she?
pickWith each Munro I read I am always astonished about how perfectly she captures women‘s emotions and reactions to events. There‘s always a number of sentences that make me stop in recognition of how real it feels. This collection is no different. She captures the intimate conversations and inner lives of women like no one else.
Finishing out my year with Alice Munro and coffee. Last book of my 40th birthday challenge. Wishing you all another year filled with inspiring, challenging, and engrossing reads. 📚 🥂 🎉

Nice quiet hour at the library returning & of course, checking out books. 📚
I'm pretty so-so on #shortstories. But Alice Munro is one of my all-time favourite writers.

He was a man made long ago, not making himself moment by moment and using whomever he could find in the process.
I'm a Gen X-er and my reading came of age in the 1990s. Authors I started reading then have continued to sustain me. Like Alice Munro. This is a collection of short stories from 1990. But any of her books, written in any decade are worth reading. #publishedinthe1990s #photoadaynov16 @RealLifeReading
