Stories to be Read with the Lights On 29: Who's Got the Lady? by Jack Ritchie

Next up... 'Who's Got the Lady?' by Jack Ritchie. And I am nearly 100% certain I've never read this story before.

Okay, so this was another one that felt a little bit more familiar as I read it. The ending certainly felt like maybe I did remember it after all. But it's hard to tell if I'm just imagining that (again).

It's a neat little art heist story, with a (predictable? or just familiar from previous reading?) twist. Not sure there's a lot more to say about this one!

Stories to be Read with the Lights On 28: Only So Much to Reveal by Joan Richter

Let's see if 'Only So Much to Reveal' by Joan Richter is any more memorable than the last story!

Nope... no memories of this one either! I don't think it's any reflection on the story though, as this one has a good setup and a decent pay-off at the end.

This one feels very Tales of the Unexpected-y (like so many of the others in the book), with the bad guy having the loot he was willing to kill for literally trickle away before his eyes.

But, clearly, it didn't make much of an impression on Teenage Me! It's really very weird finding out what caught my imagination back then and what didn't.

Tiny Birthday No. 18

I'd been saving Demon by Matt Wesolowski to read as a birthday treat, but, as I had a week off, I decided to reread the rest of the Six Stories series first, accompanied by Bertie's Revenge tea from The Tea Crew in my new upside-down cat cup (a present from Rob).

(This is how I'm celebrating my birthday this year - see here for the reasons why.)
