My haul so far from Edinburgh #edinburgh #bookhaul
A small literary short story collection that lies somewhere between Laura van den Burg and Sofia Samatar in tone. There are a few stories set in dystopias that seem just one or two clicks off from our own (one is a society that has gradually decided words/lanuage was passé so that was interesting). There are some about being a book person.
There is one story, “Simple Hans”, that I really didn‘t like and it felt out of place in the collection.
Having a “book & beverage” and a “break” before diving into another round of data collection. #riotgrams #30daysofreadathon @bookriot @deweysreadathon
Such wonderful and quirky short stories. Such skilled writing. This author is clearly highly skilled with words. My favorite story was Bookshelves but none of them disappointed.
#bookmail 😃 thanks to Alyson Sinclair and And Other Stories Press - out in September!
So I found a story about books and bookshelves in a book... How cool is that? I don't agree with the ending of the story... But with most of the things....
Came home to #bookmail and couldn't be more excited about it!
Here's a book of short stories due out in September. I know nothing about the author but look at that cover! ❤️❤️
