Thank you so much @DoonTheGoon! I love everything, and so do my cats. Bottom right is Phoenix after he literally dove into the pile trying to get the button. 🤦🏽‍♀️😂 I haven‘t read either of these collections before, and I‘m really looking forward to it! Get in Trouble is on my TBR and I‘ve been considering picking up something by Perrotta for a while now but haven‘t gotten around to it, so now I finally will. 😄

Every time I see the book yard sale at this particular house up at the lake, #igottafeeling that I'm gonna be bringing some books home 😊 Whoever lives there has a sale each summer and always has an amazing selection of books (usually) in great condition!!

vivastory When I saw Jim Carroll read at St Mark's in '04, he read from that novel. It was a pretty remarkable experience as he was my introduction to poetry. 6y
LeahBergen A book yard sale?? 😮😮 6y
Reviewsbylola I missed Rules of Civility. Great book!! 6y
emilyhaldi Pretty much!! @LeahBergen they set tables and boxes of books out on the yard with a tin can for shoppers to leave money under the “honor system”📚📚 I look out for it every year!! 6y

My first short story collection! I know, I know, missing-out.

Unsure how to review a collection, as some were more enjoyable than others. However, if you like Perotta's writing you are sure to like this too.

⭐️⭐️⭐️

Tonight's #CheerwineandaBook is brought to you by Tom Perrotta's short stories because y'all know I can't get enough Tom P!

This is a new can type I picked up at Harris Teeter. It says, "Deliciously Different!" And that perfectly describes Cheerwine!

Cspen113 Love that book bubbie!! 7y
Megabooks @Cspen113 It's so pretty! Thanks! (edited) 7y
Purrfectpages I wish he wrote more often! 7y

I'm bad with short stories. At the end of each story in this collection, I felt like I was left hanging. Like I wanted each one to be a complete novel that I could delve into. It's amazing that in just a few pages, he was able to develop the characters as well as the storyline so completely! So good

OSChamberlain I felt that unfinished feeling with his book 8y
Megabooks It's his signature @OSChamberlain He never ties a neat bow. He just leaves off. After so many "where are they now" epilogues, it's refreshing to me. 8y
Megabooks This makes me want to re-read The Wonder Garden because it leaves off in the same way, but the stories are interconnected. 8y

In the middle of a really busy work week.. I figured all I could manage was a bunch of short stories. Bring it on Perrotta. Show me what you've got!

Megabooks This is the only audiobook I've listened to, and it was horrid! Definitely read, don't listen. 8y
ramyasbookshelf @Ebooksandcooks but, definitely read? Or bail? 8y

Megabooks Read! It's good. The audio was really distorted, but the stories are solid, especially if you already like Perrotta! 8y
ramyasbookshelf @Ebooksandcooks my first Perrotta. I read the first two stories and kinda liked them.. 8y
Megabooks I've read three and listened to this one. They were all good stories! The Abstinence Teacher was my favorite. I'd love to get my hands on Election since the movie was based on the book. 8y
ChasingOm I love Perrotta! The Leftovers was my favorite, then I devoured The Abstinence Teacher and Little Children. I look for his books at used bookstores so I can keep my copies. 😊 8y
bermudaonion Love the cover! 8y
ramyasbookshelf @Ebooksandcooks @ChasingOm I'm almost done with this book and I really like his writing! Going to look for his full length novels next.. 8y
