This is a collection of seasonal stories that are predominately contemporary, with just a couple of supernatural/paranormal in there. They are all 'sweet' and there are no details - the most you get is hot kissing. The rest is either inferred or it fades to black.

In this anthology, there are some great stories, and some not-so-great stories, but on the whole, it is a sentimental and wholesome collection of seasonal stories to give you a warm glow over the festive period.

I would have no hesitation in recommending this anthology to all fans of contemporary sweet romance,

I’m a huge fan of fairytales, so I was all over this collection of updated versions of local tales. I hadn’t heard of most of them, and I’d be hard-pressed to choose a favourite (but I do like the mermaids and selkies!).

What I especially liked about this collection, is that at the back of the book are all the original stories. So I could read the original before the updated version. It was so interesting to see how the authors updated them.

There are some phenomenal authors here. I’ve already read other books by Daisy Johnson, Naomi Booth and Kirsty Logan, have some of the others on my TBR, and now I can add some others to that list. This is one of the best things about reading anthologies: new to me authors!

So yes, I’d recommend this!

Solve enough puzzles in each area and you’ll get confirmation that you’re closer to the end, a climax that brings together everything you’ve learned. Those disappointed by a reward of further tasks ought to look at other video games

I received a free ARC of this book from NetGalley for an unbiased opinion.

The Awkward Yeti may very well be my favorite online comic. This newest collection will make awesome holiday presents for any of your friends that feel the same way. The daily battle between our hearts and our brains is perfectly depicted. So happy I got a chance to review this.

Greatest Hits Album with a rare treat.
With Frank Turner and the Sleeping Souls still going strong, this album reminds us of why we all love these guys. There's some real fan favourites accompanied by a "2017" revamp of some really great tracks. A must have for Frank Turner fans.

A mostly fun collection of food related murder by a wide variety of authors. A few of the mysteries were rushed at the end, but for a most part they worked. However, there was one story that was disturbing and I didn't care for at all.
