challenging dark tense fast-paced

This felt like breathing fresh air, something new and invigorating. I really liked the short stories (my favourite one is "In Every Drop", by Lindsey Ragsdale), I loved how diverse they were! I also was very pleased with the way they were connected, with a very intriguing museum curator guiding us through each tale with the help of particular objects. The art was also something I always looked forward to - if the curator's little talk got me curious for each new story, the objects shown added to the best possible introduction. I was expecting to get more frightened though, I hoped for a bit more of intense horror. And the stories are good! But not what I'd suggest to someone looking for a good sense of dread. Still, I'd recommend to anyone who's OK with mysterious, sometimes creepy and always interesting stories.

Autobiography of Red

Anne Carson

DID NOT FINISH: 50%

this was... a surprise. i dont understand, i really thought i would love this, im just baffled. it didnt do anything for me. i wasnt moved at all and even the pretty quotes felt bland to me. im a classics major, i love mythology, i love translations, i love retellings... i hated this. i really want to find someone who feels the same way about it, because (ill say it again) IM SO CONFUSED WHY DOES EVERYONE LOVE IT am i too dumb or????
