Reading Wednesday on a Thursday!
Jan. 31st, 2024 05:07 pmLookit me, I'm actually doing a reading post! I'm so pleased by this.
Read:
So, I read Our Wives Under The Sea (Julia Armfield) earlier this month and I loved it so much. It's one of those books that hit just the right buttons and left me being very happy it was my first book of the year.
Currently reading:
Two collections I'm in the middle of are Never Whistle At Night and The Dangers Of Smoking In Bed (Mariana Enriquez). The latter is one I'm really enjoying, though I have to renew my loan on it so I can finish the collection. Something I'm trying to do is explore more Latin American fiction. I've always been personally weird about doing so because half my family is from Argentina and it's...Complicated. But I'm trying to stop putting distance between things I'm interested in because it has ties to my family. It's a silly thing to do.
Never Whistle At Night is also good, but it's a harder one to get through. I'm only a few stories in and they're all excellent at being the kind of horror I respond to but I'm definitely taking it slower than other collections I've read in the past. I'm going to take it one or two stories at a time.
Up next:
Finish those two collections (assuming Never Smoking comes in again) and find a longer thing to start reading. I'm considering digging into![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
jenett books but I think I need to get my brain out of both a horror brainspace, and a short story one. I also need to sort out how to get an audio sorted out for them, so we'll see.
