pickI enjoyed most of the stories in this collection. The narrator does an admirable job, using a variety of accents. I‘ve never been particularly fond of most male narrators attempts at female characters, so I think there were a couple of stories that could have benefited from having a female narrator. And for some reason, the final story didn‘t appeal to me at all and I decided not to finish it. So I‘d give this book ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2.

repost for @TheSpineView:
Hi Littens! I am thinking of starting a low key Sci-Fi book club and I am trying to gauge the interest. If interested, please comment on the original post and tag anyone you think might enjoy being part of the group.
I know there are more Sci-Fi readers and I am drawing a blank at the moment.

so-soSixteen authors and sixteen stories set in Mercedes Lackey‘s Valdemar.
A fun collection, but not anything particularly groundbreaking. Stories of heroes and bards and mages, but all very stereotypical fantasy. I feel at a disadvantage because I‘ve only read one Valdemar book. 🌕🌕🌕🌑🌑
Still, on a certain summer‘s morning, she carelessly allowed her heart to be seduced by the sight of a remarkable orange-furred cat, a rough but handsome bully of the back alleys. He stood outside her door, greeted the smallday in a fine yodeling voice, claws stropped to a razor finish, whiskers, proud like filaments of new brass. —The Beancounter‘s Cat by Damien Broderick
I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!) Feel free to join in!

pickThanks to @vivastory for putting this on my radar! Collecting stories from 1970 - 2020 and featuring authors like Alice Walker, Stephen King, and Junot Díaz. It is fascinating to watch the evolution of the American short story. My favorite was a re-read: Tobias Wolff‘s “Bullet in the Brain.” #BarnesNobleReadingChallenge: An Anthology #FlourishBlotts: Multiple Authors March‘s #BookSpin
pickGreat collection of short stories. It makes me want to buy the entire collection. (I‘ve already got the Best American Poetry editions from 1988 to 2000, so why not.) They‘re a great way to see how American literature has evolved over the years. ☺️
