Three Japanese Short Stories | Ryunosuke Akutagawa, Anon, Kafu Nagai, Chiyo Uno

Pickpick

Finally read this little gem! Thanks @Caroline2 for including this in the #blinddatebookswap☺️

Not my usual fare, but fascinating to read. The stories are somewhat somber, the first two about people who have in one way or another retreated from the world.
The final one is my favourite, it reads like a summary of a myth and illustrates how myths can be created when history gets embellished.

Caroline2 I‘m glad you liked it. 👍 5y

I feel like December has made me a crazy person. We have had visitors almost the whole month. Which was great but also SO draining for this hardcore introvert. I can't wait to delve into the amazing books @debthmpsn got me for #blinddatebookswap She got me the tagged book and also The Dark Heart of Florence. I had to show off how amazing her wrapping was, I'm SO bad at it haha. Completely in awe of your lovely skills, Deb!

Michollio That's funny -- I refer to myself as a hardcore introvert 😆 5y
SamanthaMarie @debthmpsn Thank you so much!! Ans thank you for all of the goodies. My toddler made me share the cookies ;) haha! 5y
SamanthaMarie @Michollio When your survival/sanity count on alone time... I think it is safe to say hardcore introvert is the right descriptor, right?! 😉 5y

So sorry this is late! Lots of travel and not much WiFi the last few days.

I love everything so much! I wore the socks to bed last night and I used the mug this morning. My fiance and I have been eating on the caramels too, they're so good! Thanks so much for everything Julee!!

@LouBeth Thank you so much for everything!!! The paper and ribbons are so pretty, Luna approved as well 😹 She also went nuts smelling everything until she found her gift, she says thank you! The mug is beautiful and the coffee looks delicious. The books look great and I love the ornament and candy. Thank you so much, Merry Christmas 🎄🎁

@JillPill I am so excited for these! Plus the tote bag is super adorable, and candy is always a good call! My stepdaughter had the box of chocolates open before we even read the card, and my husband is super excited to try the coconut patties! 😉
Thank you!

JillPill I'm so glad you liked everything!! I'm always wary of sending coconut because I know it's hit or miss if people like it or not (it's not my fav). Merry Christmas! 🎄 5y
jlabombard10315 It's not my favorite either, but my husband was pretty excited to try it! Thank you! Merry Christmas! 😊🎄 5y
