so-so⭐️⭐️⭐️
Just a so-so, I enjoyed some of the stories in this collection more than others but wasn‘t blown away by any of them.
The first one felt so anticlimactic to me, I don‘t think I understood it at all.
Oh well, on to better things or at least something new!

Starting this!
Happy world book day!
When I was living in the UK, we had World Book Night which is the first Thursday in March (they moved the date because it conflicts with school holidays).
You used to apply to give away the selected books. You‘d find people who don‘t read often or at all and give them a book (provided to you for free). I think now bookstores and libraries give them away.
It was great! I wish we had something similar here.
pick4⭐️ A great selection of short stories. Several are stylistically fresh and unique. For example, Li Fan is a 3-pg story about a woman‘s life beginning with her death. Well written and compelling.
pickI kind of savored this story collection. I knew it was special after just the first story. I didn‘t love them all but the ones I did I will never forget! #BOTM 🌸 ⚱️
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️ I‘ve been dipping in and out of this collection of slice-of-life short stories all month. It was honestly slow going, but I loved a few. The real standouts are “Li Fan,”cleverly told in reverse, and “Persona Development” which toys with monitoring the elderly as we do infants. Chang writes thoughtful stories, but some didn‘t quite hold my attention. Narrowly a pick. #BOTM
It‘s taking me forever to get through this collection. Grabbing a story or two while my 11 year old works on his Lego typewriter. A wild Friday night! 🙂
pickIf I were in a writing workshop reading short stories and voting which should be further developed into novels, this author wins the day. She has great concepts and writing with interesting characters, but there were 15 short stories in this collection and many just come to an abrupt ending as though I DNF'd good story after good story.
pickUnfortunately I was a bit under the weather over the holidays and have fallen behind on posting and checking litsy, but feeling a bit better today! 👍🏻
I enjoyed this short story collection featuring Chinese and Chinese-American women often in the context of academia. She does a great job at expressing the push and pull of expectations on them and how it might lead to unexpected outcomes. #botm
Waiting for my husband at the doctor‘s office. Happy to be reading!
I rejoined recently (it‘s been years), so I keep getting distracted by past choices. Really looking forward to my December pick! #BOTM
