Welcome to Litsy!

January 2025 Book #7
My experience with short story collection is that like/enjoy some stories more than others just like this collection. Some of stories were so beautifully written, others in my humble opinion, were like beautiful expressions but didn‘t feel like a short story for me. 3.5⭐️

So about 4 months ago I cracked 10000 litinfluences, and last night I hit 11000!

Went to my local Indie bookstore, RiverBend Bookshop to pick up my Feb. holds & of course I left with 3 more books. What a thrill! #joy #indiebookstores #books

An exciting night of intrigue, murder & theft for Conan in a desert oasis town inhabited by cannibals & strange cults.

An opportunity for Howard to demonstrate some of his worst racism, with a seasoning of predatory sexism. Apologists say it's of its time: it's still 💩

My 4⭐ rating is based solely on the fantasy/adventure elements I read Howard for, & that while Conan is, famously, savage, he also isn't as thick as he's sometimes portrayed.

me right now…in my element… #readinglife

The Collected Short Stories by Jean Rhys
Luck by David Carpenter
Babbacombe's by Susan Scarlett
The Thorn Puller by Hiromi Itō
She's a Lamb! by Meredith Hambrock

A collection of short stories. Each story centered around a character's passion - friendship, lust, a mother's love - and multiply the passion tenfold in the larger context. I was highly engaged and couldn't wait to start the next story. #FoodandLit #LitsyAtoZ@Texreader @Catsandbooks

A book of short stories set in Mumbai, India, where the city is as much a character in each tale as any human being. An homage of sorts to the “maximum city” that is filled with poverty, crime, loss, but most of all hope and community. Written in the Kannada language, English doesn‘t seem to do justice to all the stories, but a few stories such as Interval, Gateway, Water really stand out in this collection.
