Don KirkbyI added another sorted words #puzzle to my Book Blender collection of #WordGames. It's "The Kiss", by #KateChopin - somewhere between a romcom and a comedy of
manners.

hugo.Kate Chopin - born #OTD in 1850 - was one of the most important 19th century American women writers. Of Louisiana Creole background, she was an author ahead of her time, often writing on difficult and controversial topics in a unique narrative style.
On the Grammaticus website, you can download your free PDF copy of her short story A Morning Walk, which includes vocabulary notes for English language learners.

Margaret MoonshadowKella Thornton writes a beautiful "letter" to Kate Chopin, 19th century American author, as she sits in the author's historic home in St. Louis, MO. There are so many themes I relate to in Kate Chopin's work, themes this writer relates to as well. I love her direct, rhetorical questions to Mme Chopin. It is a beautiful piece of writing, connected to a sense of place. And yet, it is also timeless---for all women through the ages. #KateChopin #Literature #CreativeNonfiction

Polka dots and a paperwhite: early morning with Kate Chopin's 1897 very short story Regret. The seven page story, as it appears on kindle, moves from a depiction of a strong self-sufficient spinster with no regret to a woman crushed by loneliness after her neighbor's children leave her temporary care. I first encountered Chopin's work when a book club read The Awakening. Her narrative depictions of women feel so contemporary, even now. #KateChopin #AmericanLiterature #WomenInLiterature #reading

Euphoria 💕I joined a local library yesterday, where they have a machine that will print out short stories of 1 minute, 5 minutes or 10 minutes. I got one of each, but the only one I've read so far is this excellent one, A Reflection, by Kate Chopin
