'The Secret Lives of the Nine Negro Teeth of George Washington'.

Again a favourite, by @pdjeliclark

What can I say? The premise is all in the title - but this story had me from the first paragraph - I *love* stories like this and it was just so satisfying in every way.

*Loved* this.

CW: The teeth all originally belonged to slaves, and their history or otherwise referencing the history of slavery in America is part of the story.

'Faith & Hope Go Shopping' by @joannechocolat

One of only two Faith & Hope stories I know, but I hope there are more coming! 🤩 🙏

A story about #friendship solidarity, #shoes, and the joys and #adventures of Being Unsuitable. 👠

I'm taking notes so I'll know how to act when I am their age. 😁

Gotta, gotta, *gotta* mention 'The Bone Poet and God' by @mattdovey. 💛

I love his work, but this one is my all-time special favourite.

Also, shout-out to #PodCastle for always including audio versions with their written stories! 🤩
