Welcome to Litsy!

4/5

I've been living Silvia Moreno-Garcia's novels, so I was excited to read some of her short stories. Like most short story collections there were a wide variety of stories, and I liked some more than others, but overall it was a great read.

An incredible collection of speculative short stories from the author of Mexican Gothic. Great range of genres and topics and time periods, usually with a magical or supernatural twist. Stand outs: the title story, Stories with Happy Endings, and Cemetery Man.

My sister @sebrittainclark introduced me to these amazing new Japanese bath soaks and I'm never going back. I had hoped to finish at least one more book this month but its not looking likely-- trying to remember that not something worth being hard on myself over. Besides it just means I get to sit with these gorgeous short stories from SMG a little longer.

Sunday reading with my best girl and some excellent short stories

Oops I maybe realized I wanted a bunch of fairy tale books for research / inspiration since I've been working on a lot of fairy tale reimaginings lately. But honestly I'm really excited about all of these, especially the Silvia Moreno-Garcia collection 😍

A memorable collection of strange stories. The Mexican folklore and interesting female characters had me hooked.
