David Brent 📚<p>Reading two (not intentionally) short story collections this week: Things We Lost In The Fire by Mariana Enríquez (ebook) and The Low Desert by Tod Goldberg (audiobook). The first collection seems pretty dark; I think I'll need something more lighthearted when I'm done with it. Goldberg is reliable for his crime/underworld stories. A couple were featured in Las Vegas Noir, a collection I read and enjoyed in 2023. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Books</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Bookstodon</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AmReading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AmReading</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/FridayReads" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FridayReads</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ShortStories" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ShortStories</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Fiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fiction</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/bookstodon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>bookstodon</span></a></span></p>
