What a wonderful panel! Thank you for convening this thoughtful panel discussion of the fantastic Alice Munro. Another terrific Shawn video! And you’re wearing one of my favourites of your blouses!

[@shawnbreathesbooks]

Glad you enjoyed it! And enjoyed my blouse! 💕

Wonderful video! I have all of her collections, read a few of the later ones many years ago but then started from the beginning to do it ‘properly’! And at the same time reading Trevor’s and Betsy’s wonderful reviews of each story which has so helped to enrich my reading (many thanks Trevor). I finished Open Secrets last month so I must be about half way through! The Jack Randa Hotel - oh boy!

[@shawnbreathesbooks]

I think Open Secrets might be my favorite collection!

[@BookwormAdventureGirl]

Thanks for including me Shawn! Happy to remember Alice Munro with everyone. 😊💙

[@shawnbreathesbooks]

It was such a great chat!

[@anenthusiasticreader]

I’m so glad you were able to gather this group of readers and have such a thoughtful discussion about the story and Alice Munro.

[@shawnbreathesbooks]

💕💕 Are you a fan, Sonya? I'm going to guess 'yes'.

[@anenthusiasticreader]

@@shawnbreathesbooks Oh yes, I’m a fan. 🤩

How had I not heard that Alice Munro passed away? I look forward to listening to this full video.

[@shawnbreathesbooks]

I hope you enjoy it!

Lovely discussion! I have not read that many Alice Munro’s collection but the stories I have read I have really liked. She does know how to tell a good story within a couple of pages.

[@shawnbreathesbooks]

Absolutely!

[@myreadinglife8816]

Thank you for inspiring me to listen to the Monro short story. It was fabulous! I will definitely try more Munro. Loved the discussion too.

[@shawnbreathesbooks]

Please do! 💕

[@janethilkemann1790]

Thanks for including the list of her works and dates!

[@shawnbreathesbooks]

No problem!

[@NeetuSingh-eo4iu]

Lovely video by my favourites ❤️
