pickShort story collections are a mixed bag. I liked most of these, but some fell short. The stories are set in the same magical world as Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norell, but only one (the title story — my favorite) features characters from that novel.
pickI picked up this book, because I‘m a fan of Joe‘s dad. With that being said, it‘s near impossible to not compare the two. However, I feel that Joe has earned his right to be out from under his dad‘s shadow, and the comparisons are fitting…

I'm so sorry to clutter your feed with a picture of a lemon ?, but I couldn't resist buying this amazing fruit, it looked so tempting!

so-soJust finished listening to this 2 hour audiobook on Libby . It‘s a prequel to the Finley Donovan cozy mystery series. It‘s fun to meet Vero before she became the nanny for Finley‘s kids. It was maybe a bit too short and not as funny as the longer books. Still enjoyed it but would only recommend it to fans of the series.
pickAn engaging collection of short stories edited by Joyce Carol Oates. The common thread is the genre of horror known as body horror. Any collection that has work by both Margaret Atwood and Joyce Carol Oates is automatically five stars.
pickOverall, I‘m giving this 4⭐️
There are some really fantastic stories, in particular my favorites are: Kushtuka, White Hills, Wingless, Quantum & Collections.
There are also a couple that are not great, but most of these stories are solid. I definitely recommend & the book is beautiful!
I found a free library near my house. Sadly sun damaged for the majority of them, but Arizona problems. The picture on the app is not what I expected. Mostly romance for me and quite a few kids books. At least my kiddos found something. 🤷♀️
