The Collected Stories of Eudora Welty | 
pickhttps://youtu.be/DeZTYQL4sW0
This story was mentioned in These Precious Days (A. Patchett) and I found this amazing audio version on YouTube. There‘s some potentially offensive language about black people but true to the written word. I enjoyed hearing the accents, made hearing it a richer experience.
pickI did not read the book, just the one story, Death of a Traveling Salesman, for this month's #Bookspin pick. I chose this one from a list I've been following on Lit Hub of 20 authors' first published stories. It is an amazing achievement for a first published story. The atmosphere is grim and disorientating. Nothing is quite as it first seems. Loneliness as a symptom of the South turning more modern. 5⭐

bailedToo lazy even to cut and paste but so glad I bailed! 😂😂
Littens, I blame you for this. I had never heard of Book Depository before Litsy. Today the Feds got involved.🤣📚#LittensforLife #winteriscoming #TBRpile
Who are your favorite #shortstory authors?
I have been reading more and more short stories lately (addicted since reading Lauren Groff‘s Florida collection), and I picked this up today. Looking forward to diving in. Cover photo was taken by the author who was also a talented photographer. Thinking of trying for one short story a day. #shortstoryaday #shortstories
I learned about this author a few weeks ago and got this yesterday. I am so looking forward to these lovely stories.
I bought some bookmarks for my brother, but there's so many I can probably take two, right? 😁 #eastgrovestudio #bookmarks
In Jackson, MS for the book festival tomorrow. Stopping at the Welty house is a must. #literarylawnparty
Such a lovely bookstore in Jackson, Mississippi.
To be read sitting in the sun with a glass of iced tea. #ReadingWomenMonth
🔊🎧❤️Eudora Welty reading one of her short stories.... just stellar. I went from sympathizing with the narrator and being outraged on her behalf too laughing at the absurdity of a family fight on the Fourth of July💥

"I cannot remember a time when I was not in love with them--with the books themselves, cover and binding and the paper they were printed on, with their smell and their weight and with their possession in my arms, captured and carried off to myself."
?Happy Birthday, Eudora Welty!?
I couldn't agree more with you about loving books! ??

I sometimes just look at my bookshelves with adoration. 😍📚😊 My sweet friend Melissa @thisismelissaaa has joined Litsy! I'm so happy she is here. She is definitely one of us. 😊💜
I'm seeking six more books for my official personal list of TBR 2017. I'm waiting on another private book club where I've submitted some choices to see if any made the cut and I will add a few from there, too.
I'm an eclectic reader and social media is biting into my vibe. 😎🤓😍

Watching Gilmore girls and got a little giddy as Rory worked to make room in her backpack for a nonfiction book, collection of essays, novel and collection of short stories because she just never knew what she'd be in the mood for! #roryismyhero
Not a snowy egret, but whenever I see any egret or heron I think back to reading Eudora Welty's "A Still Moment" over a rainy winter break spent in a little house on a red dirt road outside of Pensacola.
