The Girl in the Flammable Skirt: Stories | 
panDark, off-kilter short stories full of magical realism that did nothing for me. Full review at http://booknaround.blogspot.com/2021/12/review-girl-in-flammable-skirt-by-aimee....
so-soI usually really like Aimee Bender, but this collection wasn‘t my favorite. I think there were too many stories and I wanted fewer stories with more development. Not bad, but I didn‘t love any of he short stories like I‘ve loved her other work.
Just wow! From ModCloth.
Anyone signed up for season of stories through penguin random house? Every few months I get a short story divided over 4 days in my email... the stories have been great and stuff is never read otherwise. Highly recommend!
Want more #bluebooks? I got 'em. With so many shades of blue, I decided to clump them. Here is a version of brightish middle blues...

so-soI'm not sure where I read about this book but I decided I needed to read it (even though I generally avoid short story collections). It's an odd collection, strangely compelling with some truely great opening lines... but it's also pretty random...
And the #awkwardmoment award goes to....
This is the first half of my Book Outlet #bookhaul ! It just arrived today! Yay! :)
When I first read Aimee Bender, I had devour all her work as soon as possible. She writes the best whimsical--and sometimes disturbing--short stories. Definitely a must-read if you like #magicalrealism. Gah! Just looking at my shelves tells me I'm overdue for a reread! #magicalmonday #magicalshortstory
#shortstories I have a large short story collection and here are a few of them. I enjoy writing short stories myself and so like to also read and study some of the masters. #somethingforsept #septphotochallenge
