Episode 39 "February TBR: Short Stories"
from There Will Be Books · host Peter Murphy
We're behind and it's the shortest month of the year, so we nominated short stories and novellas for the book of the month! Bunch of interesting nominations this month, but we settled on two Sherlock Holmes stories, "The Final Problem" and "The Adventure of the Empty House." Also, a short story from Ursula K Le Guin, "The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas." And course we get sidetracked. Who knew the Chinese calendar has a Leap Month?! Enjoy. Works mentioned One Fat Englishman by Kingsley Amis The Final Problem by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle The Adventure of the Empty House by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Honeysuckle Cottage by P.G. Wodehouse All Systems Red By Martha Wells The Minority Report by Philip K. Dick The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas by Ursula K. Le Guin Contact: Instagram @therewillbbooks Twitter @therewillbbooks Email [email protected] Goodreads: Therewillbebooks ko-fi.com/therewillbbooks
