#BookReport 28/23

Another good week. I enjoyed the tagged one (another J Robert Lennon 😇) and Hijab Butch Blues a lot. Woman Running in the Mountains was enjoyable too, The Finkler Question super annoying.

sarahbarnes Another Lennon! 😍 This one is on my list for sure. 1y

J Robert Lennon‘s backlist is still rewarding. This is an outstanding collection of very short stories (most are 2 pages) that manage to pack a punch nevertheless. I keep repeating myself but he really is such a clever and entertaining writer!

Ruthiella This is why reading book prize lists is rewarding! Finding new favorite authors. 👍 1y
BarbaraBB @Ruthiella So true! I‘ve found many authors I‘d never heard of before! 1y
Librarybelle Yay!! 1y
Centique Beautiful cover too! 1y

Flash fiction excellence. Razor-sharp, small but mighty tales of demons & ghosts from beyond & within. My favorite was a tale of a ghost hunter called in by a teen‘s mom, “A Vocabulary for the Haunted.” Kulpa never disappoints. #flashfiction #5stars #ghosts

An #anthology of short fairytale-like vignettes, revolving around the theme of cunning (but cute) foxes.

It proves that flash fiction can form valid, interesting stories.

A light, refreshing read, with some #lgbtq rep. I‘m reading another book by this author right now, but—while I like it—I‘m not in the mood for it much. This was a pleasant break.

Something different.

Nice.

3.5/5

This flapper had a fun time reading my flash fiction with students & colleagues at the Writespace Houston Spooky Tales reading last night. Except for that writer dressed as Mike Myers lurking in the trees. Too realistic, dude! #ghoststories #flashfiction #shortstory #writingworkshops

I am forever chasing a pre-critical capacity for simple truths, the ability to be moved without thinking. This is why I loved Chere Taylor‘s piece. I am in awe of her talent in being able to deliver such an experience in so few words.

The book explores the human relationships to the music, what music can offer in the different situations. The story of music is told through anecdotes, snippets of history from all the around the world, and without classic narrator. Some parts/sentences are beautiful written, but story as a whole was too fragmented and experimental for me. #Booked2021 - musical instrument on cover

Cinfhen Sounds like it had potential ?too bad it wasn‘t awesome ? Don‘t forget that we are now tallying completed prompts with a form submission???Every book read, from April 1- June 30th earns you a chance to win our quarterly drawing? You have until midnight, **July 3** to fill out the second quarter form? ?

Simona @Cinfhen The thing with this book is that I do think that it is extremely good written and that it is extremely well executed, but unfortunately experimental writing style isn‘t my favourite ... 🤷🏻‍♀️ I opt out for the prizes, but thank you for remanding me😘 3y
Cinfhen You‘re so sweet for opting out… but you won years ago xx feel free to change your mind 3y
BarbaraTheBibliophage Great job! 🤩 3y

Reading this for a workshop I will be taking. It takes a lot of skill to create an impactful teeny tiny story!
