AUGUST, 2019 - 31 DAYS, 31 SHORTS!


Another exercise undertaken for the 4th consecutive year. Usual rules applied, some days I skipped, some days I read more than one, especially as I was away the arse end of the month.

Some are recent, some are from a few years ago, some are from authors I love..... Preston Lang, Matt Phillips, Paul D. Brazill, Aidan Thorn etc etc

  5. This is a great idea. A few years ago I read mostly short stories in February but I haven't tried it since. I certainly have enough books of short stories and reading short stories online is also a good way to go.
