Night at the Fiestas: Stories | 
It‘s Day 7 of the @bookriot #Riotgrams Challenge! Today‘s prompt: it was all yellow! There are a LOT of books with yellow spines. These awesome books were the first ones I grabbed, but there must easily be a few dozen more in my stacks.📚💛📚
pickFinished this lovely collection of short stories set primarily in southern New Mexico just in time for bookclub #litsypartyofone
The tea is now spiked as this #litsypartyofone has turned into the pregame for two back-to-back bookless, people-infested parties this introvert has to attend 😱
Digging into these award winning short stories that I need to read for my book club meeting next week. I'm only 1.5 stories in but so far I'm enjoying them. 👍🏽 #awardwineingbookclub #bookclub

People were kind to me during this time, a strange, pitying kindness. I thought they knew how angry I was, knew there was no hope left for me. I too would be kind, I thought, if I met myself on the road.
pickNight at the Fiestas follows hardscrabble lives haunted by loss and enlivened by dreams of a better future. Quade‘s writing is lushly detailed, her characters lovingly drawn, and her stories achieve astonishing emotional power. By turns tragic and very funny, this is a terrific debut. —Rico
Bought this in NYC last week - excited to get started!
