pickOutstanding, I love stuff like this. A composite of the works found on Bolaño‘s hard drive after he had passed. These are stories; the beginnings of novels; lectures; experiments.
A lot of the reviews I read say these are supplementary writings, for Bolaño completists. For me that‘s not the case, as I find it to be work in which he‘s pushing himself the most, constantly striving for something fresh and interesting to put on the page.
Incredibly smart short stories with a SyFi touch
so-soIn this collection of short stories inspired by the works of Jane Austen, there are some hits and some misses. I enjoyed most the stories that expanded on the perspectives of some of the more minor characters. I enjoyed less the modernizations.
pickEnjoyed this very much. Can‘t wait to read another of her books.
So happy there is a book like this out there now. I feel like a lot of people of color have felt this way at some point. I wish they had a book like this when I was in middle and high school since I always felt like I didn't fit in with my peers. It's crazy how as an adult I am just now starting to feel comfortable being who I am no matter what people think about me 👑
Ich lese Deutsch!
This is actually from the book Ferien in Frankfurt, the sequel to the tagged book. I'm sure that for the native German speaking #littens it's comically simple, but it's just my speed. Though I admit it's not a real page turner plot wise. 🤣
Now if only my listening comprehension was good. Lesen ist einfach. Hören ist schwer.
pickI don‘t think I‘ve ever read P.D. James before. I‘m not sure how I made that omission, but I decided to give this book a try over Christmas. I liked it, but didn‘t love it. I think I‘m just more used to Agatha Christie‘s lighter style. To be fair, I liked these stories enough to want to give a James full-length novel a try before I make a final judgement on her writing. I‘d still recommend this collection.
Happy Birthday to Edgar Allan Poe 🎊🎉🎁🎈🎂

pickThis was great. One of the best all round horror short story collections I‘ve read. There‘s really not a weak one in the bunch. This is translated from Spanish and is Mariana Enriquez‘s horror valentine to everything Argentina. Its culture, its politics, its land, its history, its people. From haunted houses, to environmental monsters, to the hikikomori, to ritual sacrifice, every one of them feels fresh (or rotted) through this Argentinian lens.
