2018 Holiday Advent Calendar Unveiling: December 7

So kind of a weird story today. In fact, it’s not even really a story, but I felt like I had somewhat insightful comments on it nonetheless.
I finally got around to a Canadian author I’ve been meaning to read, wanting to read, feeling like I was the only book lover who hadn’t read him yet: André Alexis. His latest collection of short stories Other Worlds was released just a few weeks ago, and as May is short story month, I dove…
A little worse for wear, but still reading and eating chocolate, so basically everything’s fine. How did we get to December 16 already?
So thankfully I liked today’s story more than the previous two; it’s a quirky little number that got me thinking, and I’m still pondering it now. I also have a surprise for you chocolate lovers (especially you, FictionFan!), because I just received a hefty Christmas gift that will most certainly lead me into the beginning…

The circle of neglect! I’m dyin’! 😂
I believe my husband deserves the credit for that one
December 7, A Qualitative Study of Our Father: Shades of my BSc in Psychology and current work as an academic editor. A well thought out experiment and an interesting way of children dealing with potential abuse (the abstract was quite telling). So many short stories with footnotes (I did like the inclusion of the Appendix, though)! I will never look at fly swatting the same way again.
haha me too!
Sounds… hmm, I’m trying so hard to find a polite synonym for awful… But I do love the idea of the Circle of Neglect!! 😂
hahah yes it’s got a particular ring to it, doesn’t it?
