Today I finished the last March back issue of Real Simple, as well as this sad and insightful collection of vignettes about a young Hispanic girl in Chicago.

A couple days ago I got a free copy of the April 2024 in an attempt to lure me back. Nice try but no.

random_michelle @dabbe Everything there is a comfort read, but different things are comforting for different reasons. :)

And I'd probably reread one of those right now except I'm rereading Charlie Adhara's Wolf at the Door, so there's another series reread. :)

Loved all the stories in this collection—not a clunker in the bunch—but the first one, which gives the book its title, is masterful, a tour-de-force. It‘s an utterly compelling story of a former serial killer in the early stages of Alzheimer‘s. Convinced his daughter‘s boyfriend is a serial killer, he sets out to save her before he completely loses his memory. I understand why Kim has won all the awards & will definitely read more of his work.

I will officially read anything this author writes. Unlike her other 2 novellas I‘ve read (Foster & Small Things Like These), this collection of 3 short stories is a bit darker. She touches on a broken engagement, a writer staying in a remote house, and a woman set on having her first affair while Christmas shopping for her family. Each story pulls you in quickly with its descriptions and atmosphere. I can‘t wait to read whatever she writes next.
