Welcome to Litsy!

I normally struggle to enjoy very meta books where writers consider the idea of telling stories - it‘s so easy for them to vanish up their own artistry, so I probably wouldn‘t have picked this one if my book club hadn‘t made me, but I was SO pleasantly surprised! These were everything I want from short stories - small slices of normal lives told in a way that make you consider how meaningful everything that happens to you is

Waiting for my boyfriend in a cafe near the concert venue we‘re going to later and getting a little bit of reading in ☺️

This is a really gorgeous collection of short stories to savour! Disappointing lunch on a rainy day but I do genuinely feel like my daily reading at lunch nourishes me. It‘s nice to have something I know will make me feel better when I‘m tired and it‘s a grey miserable day.

This is the next book for my irl book club and I‘m fitting a few pages in before bed. Sorry for the terrible photo - can you tell im tired lol. I love short stories and have high hopes for these!

I‘m becoming a huge Ali Smith fan! Her stories are deep, and you have to think to read them, but it‘s well worth the effort. I can‘t wait to pick up another collection. Highly recommend!!! #24in48 @24in48 #yearofshortstories
