Hey Miriam, thanks for stopping by! It was also a little abstract from me, TBH. I'm crossing my fingers here too; I hope you win it again!!Miriam Molina wrote: ↑01 Jan 2019, 15:19 Ficlet is a good new word to learn. The book seems absolutely beyond my past reading experience. It would be exciting to check it out. I'll hunt for an online sample.
Thanks for the comprehensive review! Crystal!

I totally agree! I would be more inclined to read this collection if it were a collaborated book with a few more contributors writing on the same theme(s).Ice dragon wrote: ↑21 Dec 2018, 14:11 Sounds like it could have included a couple of different authors as a collaborated work, to add some diversity and avoid the repetition.
It's an interesting concept.

Do let me know what you think about it! Thanks for stopping by.briellejee wrote: ↑03 Jan 2019, 11:31 Intrigued at the chapter you mentioned "Advocacy or Superiority" and also at the good command of language by the author. Both these aspects seem interesting enough for me to sample the book. Thanks for this detailed review!

It is a good idea, since there would be a larger diversity of issues explored. Thanks for stopping by!Vscholz wrote: ↑03 Jan 2019, 19:01I totally agree!

I know, right? "Ficlet" seemed like the right choice, instead of "drabble". Thanks for stopping by!Helen_Combe wrote: ↑04 Jan 2019, 05:04 Hmm, sounds a bit too artistic for me. I love the term ’ficlet’, so much nicer than ’drabble’ which is the one I’ve heard of. Great review!

Oh, you're absolutely right! If I did not remember wrongly, the author posted these on his blog, before compiling them into a book. Thanks for stopping by to leave a comment!ButterscotchCherrie wrote: ↑06 Jan 2019, 13:43 I like the sound of the ficlets' themes and the Latin quotes. However, this sounds somewhat more suited to blog posts than to a book.
