I appreciate what the author was trying to do here, but it just wasn't my jam. Also the narrator on the audiobook struggles with pronouncing foreign words (esp French) so that was distracting....

An absentminded reader‘s tale:
I was looking to see how much the tagged book was on Kindle. I have the audiobook from Hoopla. Sometimes I alternate between audio and Kindle when I‘m trying to finish fast. Amazon informs me that I *already bought* this book on Kindle, on June 19, 2017. 2017!! I forgot I had it. Here is a screenshot of the order. It was $4.98 total for both, so I got a heck of a deal that day. I‘m so glad Amazon reminded me. 🤦🏻♀️

1. Tagged—absolutely loved this short story collection. I‘ll definitely read more by this author.
2. More than one actually—Tales of the Celestial Kingdom by Sue Lynn Tan (can‘t wait to return to this world), the new Katherine Arden book The Warm Hands of Ghosts and Bride by Ali Hazelwood. Lots of good reading to look forward to.

I have read this slow. Tried to take some time each day, on the train, during lunch, in a quiet minute after dark, or hidden away in a bathroom-stall in the place where I work. This got to me. But in so many different ways. And I learned more than ever, that you read differently in every different (head-)space.
Thank you again for chosing this @JamieArc

Once I started, I could not stop reading. I really enjoyed this raucous, irreverent, horny, funny, surprising, and wholly engaging collection of short stories. There wasn‘t a clunker in the book—they were all entertaining, some were genius. If you like your short stories fast, furious and feminist as anything, this collection is definitely worth a read. Recommended.
Today‘s reading for my commute.
