#shortstorycollections2022

[bibliobethblog]

Hi everyone, welcome to the end of the week and another book haul! These three paperbacks are all quite different from each other and I’m excited to read them. Objects Of Desire is a short story collection that charts the success of wanting and having, hope and resignation, youth and adulthood through a series of subtly unfolding crises. Crawling Horror, Creeping Tales Of The Insect Weird looks like my worst nightmare but I was determined to add it to my #britishlibrarytalesoftheweird collection. The insect family have finally come to seek retribution for humankind’s negligence. This collection allows readers to be a fly on the wall to some of the creepiest and crawliest accounts of insectoid horror from the likes of Edgar Allan Poe, E.F. Benson and Jane G. Austin. Finally, another addition to my @tiltedaxisbooks collection, Unexpected Vanilla is a book of poetry and a sensual, surrealist collection by a young, feminist poet in an equally sensuous and sensitive queer translation. Poetry scares me a little 😅 but I’m determined to give it a try. What do you think of my latest haul? See any there that take your fancy? Let’s have a chat in the comments! #bookstagramuk #scottishbookstagrammer #bookhaulofshame #objectsofdesire #shortstorycollections2022 #crawlinghorror #daisybutcher #janetteleaf #unexpectedvanilla #leehyemi #readingtranslatedliterature #soje #morebooksplease📚 #alwaysbuyingmorebooks https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl9M1jCI05t/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
