Welcome to Litsy!

I think this is going to be my final board for #bookspinbingo this month. I didn‘t actually get any bingo lines, but it was my first time playing and I had a blast! and read some really fun things off my TBR I probably wouldn‘t have picked up otherwise :)

This short story collection was so exciting to read because Oates is really masterful at character sketches and even the briefest stories in here just flew off the page. #bookspinbingo @TheAromaofBooks

#30daysofgratitude

Nov 17 Prompt: Books! I‘m so very grateful to have books and for my love of reading. What are you currently reading? I‘m reading the tagged book
Gratitude
1. Books- because even before COVID I was mostly stuck inside and they let me travel
2. Audiobooks- because otherwise I‘d literally never get the dishes done
3. Ebooks- because I live in a tiny studio
4. Libraries- because without them I‘d have gone broke a long time ago

Rereading parts of this collection so that I am prepped to discuss Oates‘ wide range of stories on a Women and Horror panel next weekend.... #shortstories #rereading #masterful

Yay, book mail! My first of two orders coming in from Book Outlet, but really with the sale, I SAVED money by buying more books. This is also why I never catch up with my TBR pile.

I can't seem to finish anything because my life is crazy right now. Crossing my fingers for a completion of short stories.

My first book that I've given up on this year. I didn't finish this collection. I'd read one story and then pick up a whole new book to avoid having to read another story. Not because I wanted to think about the story, but because I wanted to rinse my brain from the way I felt after reading the story. Not fun. No more.
