I have purchased two as of late, and am hoping to get back into shorts too--and I'd like to read this one. I love that every story brings something different, and that you can skip around, and YES, feel accomplished. There are authors in here I love and authors I don't know, and authors I don't like, but I'm hoping to borrow it closer to Christmas and give it a try. So glad it helped you out of your slump!Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00416898799044848769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6652084782125897918.post-75989902169611230502014-10-16T18:42:04.284-04:002014-10-16T18:42:04.284-04:00YAY! This sounds FANTASTIC! Even though I'm no...YAY! This sounds FANTASTIC! Even though I'm not big on short stories, this collection sounds like something I'd really enjoy -- which surprises me, because I'm not a straight-up romance reader either. But you're right, something about the holidays brings out the warm fuzzies in most of us, and I'd love nothing more than to curl up with this collection on Christmas day. I'll definitely be adding it to my Christmas wishlist. Here's to hoping I receive it! :)<br /><br />Marlene @ <a href="http://www.flyleafreview.com" rel="nofollow">The Flyleaf Review</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12274355208601978550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6652084782125897918.post-8875155846404876462014-10-15T15:28:21.224-04:002014-10-15T15:28:21.224-04:00I ADORED this.

It was neat to read one by this author because I've never read fiction by him in real life - only articles and blog posts. BUT this short story was just like his articles, which I loved. Even the stories that weren't my favorites were pretty fun. Plus the cover is spectacular!

I am dying because SO MANY OF MY FAVORITE AUTHORS. I always have a hard time with collections like this because some are SO SO SO SO great and then others are MEH but I'm glad that, even though some were better than others, there don't seem to be any crazy duds. <br /><br />Can't wait to read this soon!

It's such a cute, fun idea--I hope they decide to make more of these anthologies for every season! So glad you finally were able to get over your slump, Lauren--I haven't been reading enough to be in a concrete slump since beginning college!--and I hope your next reads are just as rewarding. :)Keertanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01071392026876644282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6652084782125897918.post-83878782774556399462014-10-09T19:20:57.215-04:002014-10-09T19:20:57.215-04:00Lovely review, L!

Though I've been powering through books, they haven't really engaged me like I hope (well, I started one last night that might change that. *fingers crossed*). This one sounds really sweet!
