Gayla, I love Friday Links. This one was particularly fun to read. As it happens, I am just finishing the Best American Mystery & Suspense collection and will be writing about it over in my newsletter SPARK. I agree - there are times when short stories are just the thing we need in between the long reads or when things are going on around us that require more emotional energy than usual. I also loved discovering the ELLE magazine author interviews. I'd not read them before. Lots of fun here. Thank you.
Awe, thanks Elizabeth. If I hadn't discovered it on my own, I would have through your newsletter. Sometimes my time or attention span is such that short stories are preferable. I've already borrowed a couple of these from my library to get started on them. I'm looking forward to your post in the future.
Brilliant, so much good reading here. Wintering is on my list, so thanks for the reminder. I love Alan Cummings. He was in a film with Lisa Kudrow and Mira Sorvino called, Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion. Not a masterpiece or anything but really adorable and funny. Have a great and relaxing weekend Gayla.
Thanks Deborah. Sounds like a great fun movie. I'll have to search it out. Sometimes we just need an escape and this sounds like a great one. I often find myself describing a book as "it's not a literary masterpiece nor will it win any awards, it's just a good, fun read." This is what we all need at times.
