#currentlyreading The Butterfly Lampshade by Aimee Bender - On the night her single mother is taken to a mental hospital after a psychotic episode, 8 yr old Francie is staying with her babysitter, waiting to take the train to LA to go live with her aunt and uncle. Next to the couch on which she’s sleeping, there is a lovely lamp, adorned with butterflies. When she wakes, Francie spies a dead butterfly, exactly matching the ones on the lamp, floating in a glass of water. She drinks it before the babysitter can see. 20 years later, Francie is compelled to make sense of that moment, and 2 other incidents. So far, it is quite intriguing as Francie’s memories unfold slowly revealing her relationship with her mother as well as the others in her family as she tries to figure out the odd incidents and whether she too suffers from the same mental illness as her mother. I look forward to learning all the secrets and hopefully answers to the oddities. #bookstagram #bookgeek #thebutterflylampshade #aimeebender #bookworm #readersofinstagram #booksaboutmentalillness #booknerd #readmorebooks #bookish #reading #bibliophile #mentalillness #books #bookaddict #bookaholic #bookaholicsanonymous #bibliotherapy # https://www.instagram.com/p/CHrYSMRgF86/?igshid=9bcf8gf2f4kp

Willful Creatures is a short fiction story which contains 15 different stories. In this book, these stories seem to come from all over the imagination of people. To cite a few, there are stories that talk about a pumpkin-headed family, a miniature man as a pet and many more. It it seems to be very weird but they all target to send out a sad truth. This collection overall aims to teach people sad truths and hard lessons in life that will not spark joy in your life but open your eyes to the reality that usually gets blinded from the normal person. What this means is that this collection can be done to teach people and open their eyes to the reality.

The imagery and symbolisms are very rich in this collection because the author was able to express a simple truth through stories that seem to be unimaginable. With these unique ideas, not only do they keep the readers entertained, but they also surprise their readers with a lesson that lets the reader see the story in a whole new perspective. This is an example of 21st century literature because it’s unique approach to the audience is eye-catching. In this time where people are now driven to solve problems or issues whether it be personal or social, this collection of stories is significantly relevant because it exposes the people to the sad truths and allows them to accept the fact that it exists. To add to this, this is significant in this century because it expresses the author’s take on these issues. With the use of multiple short stories to prove a bigger point, it defies the classic and traditional way of literature, which is to be straightforward and  hefty with the use of only one story to drive a point.
