Slightly Weird Short Stories

Short stories aren't usually my kind of thing. But I absolutely a few of these. Others made me think. The writing was excellent. So was the Narrator.
If you like a mixture of weirdness and cuteness (well a couple were scary), you might like these stories.

I loved the unique twists to old classics and the unique perspectives she offered. Also, I love dealing with pets.

Have you listened to any of Fiona Thraille’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have not.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Not really.

Any additional comments?

The subject matter is not necessarily my favorite, rather mundane compared to my usual favorites; however, I found this quite charming, full of interesting insights and clever twists so I enjoyed it very much.

Cute, Twisted, Splendid

This is a charming collection of random.
I especially loved Mr. Dumpty's interview with the psychologist.
Flash fiction has never really been my thing, but this was a fun introduction. It's full of twisted versions of the familiar. The author has a way of personifying objects that makes for delightful listening. The narrator did a lovely job. Took me a moment to get used to her accent, but it definitely fit the work well.
Highly recommended.

Short Stories

This book is multiple short stories. I listened to it through Audible and it made it confusing with the stories. Because it would go from one short story right to the next and you would be wondering what was going on.

A great short story collection

"There's a cat here. Don't you know how privileged you are that I chose you?"

This was such a fun series of short stories, some of them were incredibly short indeed. Listening to the audiobook was a great way to experience these stories, as the narrator - Fiona Thraille - brought each of the stories to life. There were several stories told from the point of view of a cat, one of which provided the above quote, and were incredibly funny. With 27 different short stories included in this collection, one would have to try very hard indeed to not find a story they liked.

Of them all, I think my favorite is the one with the android cleaning bot who is tasked with caring for her owner's home and is bullied by her owner's dog when her owner leaves the house for a few hours one day. The reasoning of the bot was so logical and her self-talk was so dark, that I was giggling while listening to it.

This collection of short stories was my first experience with this author, and I really enjoyed them. I will definitely be looking for more works by this author to add to my TBR list that I can enjoy in the future.

A Treasure of Bon Mots

I was pleasantly surprised by this short book and audible of flash poetry and stories. Only an hour and a few minutes long it serves up some very amusing stories and even nursery rhyme backstories for adults. Just about perfect for listening or reading while cooking dinner, taking a long bath, or reading on the beach. Take a chance and enjoy every second of it. I did.

Good stories

This short book is a cute way of retelling fairy tales. It would make a nice travel book, something to listen to on the road.
