Hosting Lite Reads, our weekly short story club, has been a wonderful joy, but between trying to deal with my health and finances and dealing with COVID, the weekly nature has left me burnt out and I need a break. For this reason, Lite Reads will be going on indefinite hiatus. We WILL be returning to it at some point, this is not permanent. But for now, we'll be resting. I'll still be active on the blog and social media, and I'm hoping that without the pressure of Lite Reads (which has felt like a lot for me lately) that you will see me on social media and on the blog more often. I did write a full explanation on the blog (link below and through the blog link in the bio). In the meantime, please feel free to go through our previous selections, we've read over a hundred stories together. I look forward to eventually reading more with you. Thank you for understanding. https://wp.me/p9KSXu-Zx #LiteReads #reading #shortstoryclub #shortstories #shortstory #blogger https://www.instagram.com/p/CZ7RoMULjBx/?utm_medium=tumblr

We're going to extend our hiatus of Lite Reads, our short story club, by one month. We'll be starting back up the first Sunday of February. In the mean time, I'll be finding more great short stories to share and I'll be working on some non-Lite Reads articles. Thank you so much for your patience. I'm looking forward to reading short stories with you again. #LiteReads #shortstoryclub #shortstories #shortstory #bookclub #reading https://www.instagram.com/p/CYhhIyNryrW/?utm_medium=tumblr

I've made the decision that we will be extending the current Lite Reads hiatus until January 9. I hope that you will rejoin me fresh and excited for upcoming selections in the new year. In the meantime, please feel free to browse the previous Lite Reads selections through the blog (link in bio always), including some of our previous holiday selections during the winter festivities. #LiteReads #reading #shortstoryclub #shortstory #shortstories https://www.instagram.com/p/CW1_q_pr8RU/?utm_medium=tumblr

I'm going to be extending our short hiatus to the end of the month. Please feel free to go through previous Lite Reads selections and enjoy some of the excellent short stories we have done in the past. We will resume the last Sunday of November. #LiteReads #shortstoryclub #shortstories #shortstory https://www.instagram.com/p/CV_MBfsrR-4/?utm_medium=tumblr

Not OC, this is just me on this fine evening. #LiteReads will return next Sunday instead of today. I've been in a lot of pain and I'm just looking forward to relaxing. Thanks for your patience! https://www.instagram.com/p/CVt17WpLAAa/?utm_medium=tumblr

You can now read the full Lite Reads review of The Veldt by Ray Bradbury on the blog (link below or through the home page link in the bio). I'm personally a fan of this creepy science fiction tale, although it didn't hold up in every way quite as much as I hoped. Overall though, this one is a classic that I generally remember fondly. Let me know in the comments what you think of this one. The new selection will be the final spooky season pick and will be available next Sunday. https://wp.me/p9KSXu-W5 #litereads #shortstories #shortstory #shortstoryclub #scifistories #spookyseason #classicshortstories https://www.instagram.com/p/CVbsWsRAryo/?utm_medium=tumblr

Sorry for the delays! We'll be wrapping this Lite Reads selection up this Saturday, October 16. In the meantime, I want to know your thoughts on our current pick, The Veldt by Ray Bradbury! This dark science fiction story is a classic, let me know in the comments what you thought. If you haven't read the story yet, you can still find the links to read or listen to the story in the full intro post (link to the blog is always in the bio). Questions to consider: 1. This story focuses on the home life of a family with every technology at their disposal. What do you think the story has to say about technology, especially in the home? Do you think it is relevant to today's technology? 2. What do you think of how family life is in this science fiction world compared to our real world? Compared to the real 1950s America it was released in? Compared to our modern world? 3. As this selection is a Spooky Season pick, what do you think of how the trope of the Creepy Child is used in this story? #LiteReads #shortstory #shortstories #shortstoryclub #reading #horror #horrorshortstory #sciencefictionshortstories #sciencefiction #classicshortstories #spookyseason https://www.instagram.com/p/CU3zvwBrCbR/?utm_medium=tumblr

Our new Lite Reads selection is In The Cave of the Delicate Singers by Lucy Taylor! This short horror story is about a woman with a form of synesthesia where she can feel soundwaves and the rescue mission she goes on in a sinister cave. This is the first of our spooky season selections, which you can anticipate more of all month. Let me know what you think of this one when you get the chance to read it. You can find links to read it in the full intro post (link below / through bio). https://wp.me/p9KSXu-UX #LiteReads #shortstory #shortstories #shortstoryclub #reading #horrorshortstory #horrorstories #spookyseason https://www.instagram.com/p/CUUA4EpgqDd/?utm_medium=tumblr
