pickOf late, I have been drawn to more “literary” or “challenging” books and this one certainly challenged me! These stories are spare and minimalist and require work of the reader. All of them deal with the lives and experiences of women and the way they interact with the world, in ways both big and small. While some of the stories were opaque in their meaning, I think this is a book that would be served well by being re-read.
So after a crazy day yesterday (where I ended up at the ER for a couple hours suffering from vertigo), I was able to have a relaxing day full of rest. Unfortunately no reading since I didn't want to push it even with feeling better. I did get an audio copy of Jane Eyre though so I can hopefully get caught up on the #janeeyrebuddyread

I have such severe vertigo from Lyme Disease that I can't focus on anything without getting sick. Looks like I may be stuck on audiobooks for a while.😢
Too funny that today's prompt is #bodyofwater because I posted this to Instagram earlier asking who wore it best? #maybookflowers
Am I posting too much? Lazy reading day and I like the fragmented style of this author.
pickFirst book done! This is a glacial collection of stories that are admirable in their intelligence, coolness, and reserve. But these are minimalist, tidy, self-contained stories, and while they are worth reading for the writing and the manner in which they coolly probe the anxieties that underlies social relations, they were not capacious or generous. And so while I admired this book, I did not love it. #LitsyAtoZ #deweys24hourreadathon
