#FirstLineFridays @ShyBookOwl #2025reads
Reading today, another short by Poe. I‘ve only known a couple of his poems and really like the rhythm that runs through them, I‘m finding this rhythm is also in his shorts. This is the third story I will be reading by Edgar Allan Poe.
These are my three selections for the weekend. I've got lots to do, but if I can fully read the tagged and make decent progress on the other two , I'll be a happy camper. All are for my push to finish #192025 in a somewhat timely manner.

That‘s one of my favorite lines in one of my favorite stories (The Masque of the Red Death). “Which embrace three thousand and six hundred seconds of the times that flies.”
pickThis collection is a pick, even though I averaged only 3/5 among all the stories. It‘s a great introduction to Poe which concludes in his more famous work. The narration is solid and clear. Definitely a Poe fan after reading this collection.

I had two picks for this month as well. I didn‘t want to pit two spicy books against each other when my January AND February books are also two spicy books against each other, so I made one a wild card.

A vain man who refuses to wear his glasses. His name says it all. Because of his vanity, he ends up marrying his great-great-grandmother. Couldn‘t stop laughing at him.

An ancient Egyptian mummy electrocuted back to life. They spoke to the mummy in Egyptian about all sorts of topics. Explores the idea that not everything was invented by Europeans.
