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

ReplyDeleteJason, you're welcome mate. Just need to get to some of your longer work now!
DeleteThanks for including 'Scumbags with Bumbags', Col!
ReplyDeleteHa - ditto my remarks to Jason. You're longer stuff is stacking up!
DeleteThanks for including me Col. Paul
ReplyDeletePaul, my pleasure. I'll have to keep my eyes peeled for more of your work.
DeleteThanks for reading Col!
DeleteBill, you're more than welcome sir
DeleteI love it that there are some great short stories out there. I appreciate your sharing them, Col.
ReplyDeleteThanks Margot. I'm spoiled for choice really.
DeleteThis 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.
ReplyDeleteTracy, thanks. I'm hoping to do this twice a year from now on - maybe February and August - assuming I remember! I've a fair few collections myself I ought to read.
