@Billypar ‘s review made me pick this one up and I wasn‘t disappointed. Short stories about food are totally my thing! It‘s short and delicious and it‘s not about caviar 😉

quietlycuriouskate That cover image is all kinds of horrible! 🤢 3w
BarbaraBB @quietlycuriouskate Yes and it doesn‘t fit the book at all. 3w
Billypar Glad you liked the collection! The stories are so wild and varied, and yes @quietlycuriouskate not at all like the cover. In fact, the combo of the cover and blurb suggests this is a much different kind of story collection: I wonder how many people picked it up expecting food-related erotica and were disappointed? 3w
Flaneurette I got this cheap on kindle recently because I really liked Being Dead by this author. Glad to see you enjoyed this one! 3w
BarbaraBB @Flaneurette I‘ve had Arcadia on my shelves for years but still haven‘t read it. I now feel encouraged to do so! I liked Being Dead too! (edited) 3w

#Bibliophile Day 16: #SetInSoAmerica #SetInSouthAmerica - Galeano would always be one of my fave South American writers. My full review here: https://wp.me/pDlzr-hRd

The characters are definitely characters, and Paley's dialogue is quite colorful, which makes this book of short stories something of an experience, even as I found it difficult to discern what the heck was going on at times.

This was a #Roll100 title from January.

3.75/5
While I prefer Foster and Small Things Like These, these three short stories are still very representative of Keegan's writing style: well-written story which slowly but surely sucks you in.

After a frustrating day, I'm going to follow Camille's lead (although I'm going to try to finish one story from the tagged before I lose consciousness)(and I likely won't fall asleep perched on the back of the sofa).

Yeoyu - Europa | Han Kang

Mehso-so

Need & desire in an unlikely, fragile friendship. Reluctant trust, identity, vulnerability, recovery in two outsiders finding each other. Rather gentle for Han Kang. Trans. 2019

13 “Her songs slid the bolt from across my heart and my craving stepped out into that dark, run-down alley to look me straight in the eye.”
28 “The majority of people live out their lives with much the same color and form, but some change their bodies several times over.”
