Constant Reader discussion

Another big ta-da! This is our short story schedule for the remainder of 2021 + one date into 2022. Half of the stories are available through internet links. The other half come from our story anthology, The Story Prize: 15 Years of Great Short Fiction. The dates on the schedule should occur every two weeks on a Sunday. Please check my dates. I will usually write an introductory note but if I'm late or forget, feel free to start us off. Also, check for any other errors and I will correct.

I'm always excited by a new schedule and a new anthology is the icing on the cake. Our first story is by Yaa Gyasi. Her new book, Transcendent Kingdom, is next on the Reading List schedule. See you here to talk about it on July 11th!

I'm sorry everyone! I just realized that I missed starting the discussion for our story last Sunday. I don't know if I'll have time to do it today but an intro note will be up by tomorrow. I usually love Tobias Wolff's writing so I'm looking forward to it.

Barb, I think I've been a week out of sync all year!
