So glad you... I guess "enjoyed" might not be the right word, but so glad you read The Husband Stitch. I am now also obsessed with Carmen Maria Machado! And I also endorse the statement about chapped lips and FL humidity, like what the heck! And somehow my eyebrows have been peeling and dry, no idea what that's about, haha.
Mockingjay is absolutely the weakest book in the trilogy and it never needed to be split into two movies and I will die on this hill!
And I first read Her Body and Other Parties years ago and still think about it all the time. Hands down my favorite short story collection of all time.
Update on this post: I finished my Mockingjay reread and still don't like it.
Hot take: NO book needs to be divided into two movies. If you want to provide more for diehard fans, pull a Peter Jackson and release an extended cut but lord, no one needs four hours to act out a book.
Love to find more fans of Carmen Maria Machado! Have you read any Angela Carter? Very similar vibes.

I do not understand how my anything gets dry in this humidity??!?!
Have you read the entire short story collection? I loved so many of them.
No, I haven't yet, but I definitely will. I'm very much in a short story kick right now, so that would be perfect.

I haven't read any Carter; looking her up right now, thank you!
