pickAn absolutely exquisite comedy of manners, satirising the classist oneupmanship in a women‘s literary lunch club in the Edwardian era.

“This?” he demands, looking down at the waves far beneath them. “This is how you traveled? What if the enchantment ended while Vivi wasn‘t with you?”

pickBradbury is the master of the short story & this collection is one of his best. It follows multiple trips to Mars from earth. There are so many standouts, but Usher 2, depicting a horror house built to trap book banners, & There Will Come Soft Rains, about the fall out of nuclear disaster on Earth, are two of the most memorable. Bradbury has a unique ability to capture fear, innocence, joy, & longing with a simple phrase. He‘s a forever favorites.
pickFairly classic Tangier era Burroughs. Nothing phenomenal, nothing super Naked Lunch-esque. A short read for a short flight. Junky‘s Christmas is in this collection, the Immaculate Fix bestowed upon one who is junk sick sacrificing his potential relief being a highlight.
These are the three audiobooks by Vonnegut I found free on Audible with a subscription. #authorsamonth @Soubhiville
Thank You @catsandbooks for #ShowAndTellTuesday ☺️👍🏼🎨💝.
Made this from recycled and upcycled materials.
This is a pricetag from a Peter Rabbit plush. The front has a splendid image of Peter Rabbit, but the back had the product information and the barcode box.
This is made from a material that allowed me to sand off the wording and barcode.

The sign made me do it!
We got a new Barnes & Noble where there used to be a Forever 21! They didn‘t have what I was looking for but I still managed to bring 2 books home (The pretty sprayed edges were calling my name!).
Our new school librarian told me she almost loved the A Court of Thorns and Roses series more than Harry Potter so I finally caved and got a copy (Night Court Edition 😍🖤).
I got a day with Casey! Hurray!
He‘s currently helping me tackle the last story in this Korean collection about a skyscraper city. Alas, it‘s the sort of ideas-over-people SF I struggle to click with, so I ain‘t as wowed as the folks who recced it to me. There‘s enough meat here that I‘ll finish it, at least, but it won‘t make my list of stellar short fiction recs.
