Teaser Tuesday: At the Mouth of the River of Bees: stories by Kij Johnson
October 29, 2013
Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
•Grab your current read
•Open to a random page
•Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
•BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
•Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!
This week I'm reading a book of short stores called At the Mouth of the River of Bees: stories by Kij Johnson. It's been awhile since I'd read short stories, and I'd forgotten how much I enjoy them. These are quirky, interesting, strange, fantastical stories - right up my alley! - so I like them even more! Here's my teaser from page 12.The story is the very first one in the book "26 Monkeys; Also the Abyss". Enjoy!
What Aimee likes about this life:
It doesn't mean anything. She doesn't live anywhere. Her world is 38 feet and 127 shows long and currently 26 monkeys deep. This is manageable.
