Welcome to Litsy!

Rereading The Honey Month for February. Amal's work is so evocative, so rich. Even the descriptions of the honey she's inspired by are poetry.

BookRiot has a wonderful blurb on an even wonderful human, who also happens to be a great author, Amal El-Mohtar. A Reader‘s Thanks to Amal El-Mohtar https://bookriot.com/2019/02/08/a-readers-thanks-to-amal-el-mohtar/

Not the tagged book, but a short story by the author that I half read on Strange Horizons. Maaaybe it is in this collection? Anyway, it was lovely half read by LeVar Burton on his podcast!

I'm all for honey, so may I heartily recommend Amal El-Mohtar's The Honey Month. After being gifted 30 samples of honey from a beekeeper friend, Amal (who I consider a friend) wrote 30 short stories inspired by the flavours. It is nothing short of an astounding work.

What an interesting read! I really enjoyed the way she was able to describe all the honeys. These little stories will stick with me for awhile and roll around in my brain. I really love when that happens. #24in48 #hour18
