  3. ninth book of 2024 (is counting like this annoying? idk, itā€™s all one mutable thread, so, whatever): ā€œGet in Trouble", by Kelly Link ( https://kellylink.net/books/get-in-trouble).

    Get in Trouble - Kelly LinkPaperback edition: February 9, 2016 Pulitzer Prize Finalist in Fiction ā€œA collection of short stories in which a writer with a fertile and often fabulist imagination explores inner lies and odd corners of reality.ā€ Indies Choice Book of the Year Finalist Time Magazine Top 10 Fiction of 2015 Ā· NPR 2015 Great Reads Ā· Slate [ā€¦]Kelly Link

    More great stories, some of which, but fewer than those in ā€œStranger Things Happenā€ would fit right in with those collected in ā€œBlack Waterā€ ( https://mastodon.social/@gravely/110403938932091902) and ā€œBlack Water 2ā€ ( https://mastodon.social/@gravely/110899731695137550).

    gravely (@gravely@mastodon.social)Attached: 2 images twelfth book of '23 for me, "Black Water: The Book of Fantastic Literatureā€ (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/53080.Black_Water I started a Bookwyrm and posted there too but, alas no one there has reviewed it yet), edited by Alberto Manguel. 72 fantastic stories in a door stop of a paper back (at least that's how I read it), each one with a contextual introduction, and organized into themes. I'm now looking forward to starting the second one Manguel collected, Black Water 2.

"The Complete Gentlemanā€ turned me onto Amos Tutuola, who I'm now reading in full. And a story from Isabell Allende?! Nice. previously: https://mastodon.social/@gravely/110403938932091902Mastodon

    the trade paperback cover of ā€œGet in Troubleā€, by Kelly Link, as I read it.An painted illustration of a small farm house in a clearing in a wood; a woman in a red shirt and jeans approaches the house up the front walk while two foxes approach from the left in front of a healthy fruit tree, the dead and leafless mirror of which is on the right. The entire illustration is upside down and the title, painted in call capital white handwriting over the sky is surrounded by and set on by black birds.

  4. seventh book of 2024: ā€œTitanium Noir", by Nick Harkaway ( https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/62052321-titanium-noir). What it says on the tin and knows it. Spoonfuls of chewy metaphors.
