The Thing Around Your Neck | Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

Pickpick

My problem with short stories is always that I don't take enough time to let them sink in. I usually go straight on to the next one and forget about them soon.
This time too, I kept on reading, but I weren‘t able to forget about the ones I‘d finished. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie wouldn‘t let me. She‘s is so good 💕. I think they‘ll linger in the back of my mind forever.

britt_brooke I tend to do that with short stories, too, and it often doesn‘t do them justice. This collection sounds good. Def stacking! 3y

Kalalalatja I‘m like you and @britt_brooke which is why I dpn‘t read short stories that much. But your review has definitely made me interested! 3y
BarbaraBB @Cinfhen No they are not, only in theme. But she has such a way with words. However if you haven‘t read Americanah I‘d recommend that one first. 3y
Megabooks So glad you enjoyed this as well! 3y
erzascarletbookgasm I loved this collection of short stories too, very good, aren‘t they? Reflective and haunting stories. 3y
Flaneurette Chiming in to say I do this too w short stories but still love them. I feel like this is high praise from you as I don‘t remember you reading many story collections! I do need to read Americanah first, it‘s been on my list forever! 3y
BarbaraBB @Flaneurette You are right, I do read them at times but not very often. I hope you‘ll get to Americanah, it‘s fantastic 🤍 3y
AshleyHoss820 YAY!! You liked it! You will definitely think about this every now and then! 😊 3y
BarbaraBB @AshleyHoss820 I‘m sure I will. Thanks for the recommendation 🤍 3y
