No One Writes to the Colonel and Other Stories | 
so-soThe problem I have with short stories are they're short. I'm still warming up to it, dipping my toes into the story then it was finished. I do not get to love them as much as I would love if it was a full length novel. This novella/short story was actually pretty good. None of the magic I was accustomed to but a lot of realism. This is real. This happened somewhere in time. A short masterpiece by Senor Marquez!

#LitsyConfession: I haven't read any Gabriel García Márquez. But I'm fixing that this afternoon! I grabbed his first collection of short stories before diving into a novel. I'm excited because I love magical realism. Also will you look at that dapper rooster on the cover? How could I turn this book down?! ?
It's also beautiful & 70° today! But pollen is out in February already? so I'm not reading outside, but I do have the window open. ☀️
Getting my magic-realism on. It's the price on the book that caught my attention.
