pickAn excellent collection of short stories by Canadian Kate Cayley. (Originally published in 2014, this new edition is coming out soon with 3 additional stories.) Each story is a little gem, a careful observation of human behavior. Indeed in many of the stories, characters are observing others, and figuring out their own reliance on/distance from/ connection to other people. #netgalley
It's been a busy day, but I'm so excited to sit down and read all evening now. This amazing pairing of chocolate and book was sent by @TheKidUpstairs - I'm so glad to hear you loved it. I'm very excited to get going on it tonight! Happy Jolabokaflod ❤️

pick“We divided into two groups: those of us who regretted it had all gone by so fast, and those of us who saw that each moment had not gone by, but rather it had all accumulated, like rain sluicing from an uppermost leaf of a tree to every leaf below until it was all there in a single drop on the lowest leaf, clinging but shivering on the serrated tip of the leaf, full of everything that came before.”

pickThis short novel punches well above its weight - how was it not Giller Prize shortlisted?
pickI'm surprised this one didn't make the #GillerPrize Shortlist. One of the best of the year for me. A deftly crafted blend of engaging storytelling, genuine characters, and so many intersectional issues and questions - this is one that will sit in my thoughts and my heart for some time.
