We’re back with another Sundays in Bed With… meme! This meme dares to ask you what book has been in your bed this morning and is hosted by Midnight Book Girl. Come share what book you’ve spent your time reading in bed or wish you had time to read today.
I’m spending this Sunday night in bed with Before I Let Go by Kennedy Ryan. This’ll be my first buddy read with Leslie this year and I’m excited and anxious to dive in. You know when you start a new book and immediately get that “oh, this is gonna be good” feeling? I’m only two chapters in right now and I can already tell that this is going to have me emotionally twisted up, and hopefully it’ll be in the best way! I’m going for an immersive read with this after testing out the audiobook.
What book do you have in bed with you this Sunday?

This week’s topic is: Books for Armchair Travelers (Submitted by Laurie C @ Bay State Reader’s Advisory)
What It Means When a Man Falls from the Sky
Publisher: Riverhead Books
Pub Date: 4 April 2017
Genre: Literary Fiction, Short Stories
Panda Rating:
(4.5 pandas)
A dazzlingly accomplished debut collection explores the ties that bind parents and children, husbands and wives, lovers and friends to one another and to the places they call home.
In “Who Will Greet You at Home,” a National Magazine Award finalist for The New Yorker, A woman desperate for a child weaves one out of hair, with unsettling results. In “Wild,” a disastrous night out shifts a teenager and her Nigerian cousin onto uneasy common ground. In “The Future Looks Good,” three generations of women are haunted by the ghosts of war, while in “Light,” a father struggles to protect and empower the daughter he loves. And in the title story, in a world ravaged by flood and riven by class, experts have discovered how to “fix the equation of a person” – with rippling, unforeseen repercussions.
Evocative, playful, subversive, and incredibly human, What It Means When a Man Falls from the Sky heralds the arrival of a prodigious talent with a remarkable career ahead of her.
Domestic abuse, child abuse, trauma, violence
TL;DR: What It Means When a Man Falls from the Sky is a fantastic collection of short stories. These stories are about mothers, daughters, fathers, sons, lovers, friends, and enemies. It’s about the people you love, hate, admire, fear, envy, and respect. They touch upon resilience, grief, hope, and joy, but most of all, these are stories about women and girls with fire in their bellies and who refused to be stamped out. No matter whether they’re set in the past, present, future or other reality, these stories are so utterly human and realistic. The author doesn’t treat you to abstract pretensions, but gives these stories to you straight, and I love this collection more for it. Light is by far my favourite, but The Future Looks Good and Windfalls are fantastic as well. Overall, this was a beautifully written and well connected short story collection that I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend!

I’m kicking off this Sunday post with another “I don’t know what I’m reading next” moment because once again, I finished my previous read earlier in the evening, and now I’m in that weird headspace of wanting to pick up something else immediately, but also wanting to linger a bit in the space the previous book left me. Here are a couple of titles that I’m thinking about picking up next:
Have you read any of these (and if so, would you recommend it)? What book are you spending your Sunday in bed with?
