I read this book a little while ago so my review will be very short. It is also hard for me to review a short story collection. I did enjoy this book because it is historical fiction. The stories draw you in and you can feel what each character is going through. There are two stories that deals with Chinese immigrants and what they go through and how they are treated.
My favorite story is about an Irish immigrant who becomes a teacher. I love that her family was very supportive and how the young man who is interested in her helps her out also even though she doesn't give him the light of day.
I would recommend this book for you read.

This book and story is centered around the holiday season of Christmas. Looking for the spirit of Christmas and it magic. This one will not disappoint.

The author does well with having take place in Winter, Montana. The title says it all. Will Christmas bring true love together or will it just be another Christmas in Winter, Montana.

Tech Rating

Loads of retro style games (2 more)

Able to plug into tv

Lightweight for travel

Feels cheap (3 more)

Some games repeat

First language option is Chinese

No individual instructions per game

Lots of choice

Great console with lots of choices and helps introduce the generation into the retro style gaming we used to do when we were children.

I love the fact it comes with all you will need to plug the console into the tv to take the games to a more interactive with other players as well.

The console itself is very light which makes it feel cheaply made and I wouldn't believe it actually has 400 different games as some repeat themselves. Although there are some great choices including Super Mario and Donkey Kong there are some games you have never heard of.

It is very much you need to play around with each game to work out how to play it on the console as you aren't given any form of tutorial. Even some of the games you remember their controls are different.

Overall it is great for someone who travels a lot and wants to beat boredom but personally I would stick to my standard consoles with individual games.
