Half an Inch of Water: Stories | Percival Everett

pick

I read James last year and am reading more of Everett‘s books this month for #authoramonth. If this book of stories doesn‘t prove the versatility of Everett than nothing will. The stories are set in cold cowboy country. A man tries to save a girl surrounded by rattlers, an old woman rides off to what seems like heaven, and a father and daughter go on a quarrelsome hike but they bond over an unfortunate event. A mystery box is, well, mysterious. ⬇️

Texreader I‘m not a big fan of short stories. It‘s a personal thing because I am unable to get into them and if I don‘t read a whole story in one sitting, I inevitably forget what I‘d previously read and I have to start over! (It didn‘t help I was reading another book of short stories.) But when it comes to darned good writing and you cannot get enough of Percival Everett, then I recommend reading these stories a little at a time. (edited) 2mo

Half an Inch of Water: Stories | Percival Everett

I‘m still reading The Trees (so good) by this author but getting close to the end so I‘ve checked out two more of his books from Libby. I may like Trees better than James, which I read last year. What an author!! #authoramonth @Soubhiville

TheKidUpstairs Trees is my favourite of his (of the ones I've read). 2mo

perfectsinner I just grabbed James from my library 😀 and idk what Trees is about, but I love them! So the title caught my eye. Hopefully i like James as much as others seem to and maybe I'll check out his other stuff, too. Happy reading 🤓 2mo

AmyG I really enjoyed Erasure. 2mo

Readerann I want to read everything this man has written! (Only read the 3 mentioned here so far.) 2mo

Deblovestoread Trees is my favorite so far as well. 2mo

The Captured: A True Story of Abduction by Indians on the Texas Frontier | Scott Zesch

March picks!

My book of choice is “The Captured“ (tagged).

I really want to get into the SPN book, but I've heard it'll make you cry-no bueno right now!

I'm already two Kindle books behind on #ReadYourKindle so let's wait on that.

Can't wait to dive into a Western non-fiction!

PuddleJumper That sounds like you need to be in the mood for sadness 4mo

Coffeymuse @PuddleJumper I've heard the SPN book is exceptionally good if you're a fan of the show...however, between my anxiety/depression flaring and my asthma landing me in the hospital last week, I am just in that mindset. #takingcareofmymind 4mo

PuddleJumper @Coffeymuse Sounds very sensible! Books like that can wait. Wishing you some calm and good head space 4mo

The Children of First Man | James Alexander Thom

5 ⭐️s
This is another one that leaves me feeling completely inadequate. I don't know where to even begin to express the scope of the story or the impact it has had on me. I urge anyone that enjoys historical fiction, multi-generational storytelling, and having your heart torn from your chest to read it immediately.

Five HUGE stars.

It wrecked me.

Read it.
