A young man who has improbably escaped death twice reveals his secret.

This was a decent short story. Odd Thomas vibes.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Currently reading @yvette_tan 's Seek Ye Whore and Other Stories. Fresh Fruit for Rotting Corpses made me crave for Sisig. Want to also try Aling Lucing's. For now, Tofu Sisig for dinner and on to the next stories.

4/6 from our @tbrgirlies_bookclub TOTM

This was just okay for me. I struggled to connect with the story and found the writing unimpressive. It‘s not uncommon for short stories to fall flat for me, but this one nearly caused me to give up. I only finished it because it was so brief. I‘ve learned that Allende‘s writing simply isn‘t for me.

Even with a short story collection, where most were written before his beloved novels, Arriaga‘s narrative is unmatched.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

BarbaraBB I don‘t know him. Must look for a translation of one of his books! 5d
Amor4Libros @BarbaraBB He‘s my 2nd favorite Latin American author. (Isabel Allende will always be #1!) 5d
BarbaraBB Allende I read in my twenties but haven‘t read for a long long time. I used to love her though. I think my favorite is Claudia Piñeiro 5d
Amor4Libros @BarbaraBB Piñeiro is amazing, too! I‘m so glad I still have quite a few books from her backlist to go through ? 5d

A Murderbot short story with no Murderbot! But plenty of ART/Peri, so it's still good.

Her debut of short stories. They run the gamut of emotional highs and lows with some creepy stories thrown in. All spectacular, as only Keegan can do. #10BeforetheEnd #offtheshelf

Bar owner Jimmy is retiring & planning on selling Lillies, a spot for hipsters and the well off in the now trendy, but once crime ridden Red Hook. Bartender Erin is hoping to buy the bar but Jimmy refuses to sell & tells Erin an unusual story. This is labeled as a short story but with the audio clocking in at 2 hours it's more of a novelette. This is a careful what you wish for story. Pick!

Next up on audio…Had free credit from Audible and was finally able to get my hands on Arriaga‘s short story collection.

Already listened to the first one and this man never ceases to surprise me.
