Anyone else believe that organizing books is a complete hobby in itself?
Putting together my summer reading.

pickThis was an interesting short story! I saw there‘s a movie adaptation so I guess I‘ll be checking that out tonight 🤓🤣
bailedOnly read 3 stories and had to stop. Boring, ending made no sense and didn't want to read any more.

pickLike with most short story collections, I liked some more than others. So many were heartbreaking. But also full of love of family. Sony‘s Gone might have been my favorite, but The Bones of Louella Brown was also a favorite. #bookspin @TheAromaofBooks
It‘s another great day to buy spec fic by African-American authors. #shortfiction #blackauthors
Another miserable story from this so far dreary and depressing anthology. “I See You, Bianca,” by Maeve Brennan was essentially 11 pages of description of the MC‘s NYC apartment. There happened to be a cat who goes missing and the MC doesn‘t seem that bothered really. That‘s the plot. What a downer! I‘m very nervous to continue with this collection. If the next story is more of the same I may just shelve this for now.

My new nighttime short story collection. Kicking it off with “The Islands,” by Alice Adams. Quite a melancholy start, a story about the life and loss of a tailless Manx cat named Pink, named after the MC‘s friend Zoe Pinkerton. Zoe‘s path through life mirrors Pink‘s, both leaving a hole behind in their place. I‘m nervous that every story in this collection will be a downer, but I hope I am surprised. Finn and Jack pictured offering moral support.
