I can't write books so I review them instead
I have been actively working on reading more short stories lately, and seeing this one offered through the First to Read program gave me a great opportunity to try this collection. Here is my review: Summary (Goodreads): Just because Jenny was born without a head doesn’t mean she isn’t still annoying to her older brother,…
What I love about Season of Stories is that the short stories are sent in a very unique way. It starts on Tuesday and ends on Friday. Every Tuesday morning, when I wake up, there is an email that has part 1 of a short story. By Friday, I’ve got part 4 of the short…
Season of Stories is back!!!! For those of you who may not remember, Season of Stories is this opportunity where people receive one short story a week for the fall season to encourage readers to give the short story collection a try. Each day for 4 days, portions of the story are given until you…
I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. This is a collection of short stories that all revolve around the idea of technology and the ways in which we use it to communicate and make our lives simpler. The stories in this book take place in the…
I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I was unaware that this was a novella when I first began reading but considering that I also received the ARC for Haven, the first novel in the series, I thought it would be a good idea to start with…

True to my word, I am making a conscious effort to read more short stories. I was very excited to hear about this series of short stories. I don’t know much about Mexico except what is on the news so I was really looking forward to reading diverse stories on the culture and the people…
I received this novel from NetGalley as an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review. I don’t read short stories. I avoid short story collections. Even if my favorite author writes short stories or participates in an anthology, I won’t read it. This isn’t because I think short stories are bad. It’s mostly because…
I never read short stories. It’s not that they aren’t good, it’s just that I like to really get into a novel and have it pull at me for a few days. While I have read short stories before, I hate how quickly they end; it almost makes the experience bittersweet for me. Either way,…
I almost never read short stories or novellas. I just find them to be more of a teaser than an actual satisfying story. But after reading Ink and Bone by Lisa Unger (check out my post a few days ago!), I knew that I had to give this trilogy of novellas a shot, especially since it…
