Top Ten Tuesday – Favourite Short Stories/Novellas

TTT-Big2

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish and it is now hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. This week’s theme is Favourite Short Stories/Novellas. For this list, I revisited the short stories and collections I read in university, so some of them are pretty heavy. Here’s my list:

1. The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman

  1. I read The Yellow Wallpaper in college as well, as part of a women’s studies class that remains one of my absolute highlights from those years. I only recently read The Black Cat, and loved it. Looks like a bunch of great choices on your list!
