"I loved fantasy books as a kid. I lived in my head, and Roald Dahl was the best of the best. This short story collection was one of my favorites"

This is a collection of four short stories, of weddings and falling in love. Each story has amazing characters which bring there own stories to the book. These are quick short stories, which make you feel good. Lots of romance, love and swoon worthy male characters.



Highly recommended collection

I bought this exclusively for Karen Chance (whose short story was about Tomas, my least favourite sexy vampire from her absolutely amazing Cassie Palmer series.)

It was a fun collection of good stories.

Book Favorite

"I read one of Borges’ short stories in a science-fiction magazine when I was 20, and I immediately fell in love with his style and his universe. Later on, I discovered that the short story, ‘The Babel Library,’ was part of this collection of short stories. Borges is the only South American writer all of whose books I have read and reread."

Dumbledores commentaries (1 more)
Illustrations
Short and sweet
A great addition to the wizarding world collection. This is a short but sweet read with a few stories that are "classics for young wizards". JK Rowling was clever to think of adding commentaries by Dumbledore after each story, this really feels like Dumbledore is engaging with the reader. What's not to like?

Book Rating
This is a collection of seven short stories in manga format. Most of the stories were fine, considering the short length. My only real complaint is that the last story should not have been the last. The book should have ended maybe with one of the first few, instead. The stories were all fairly different from one another, which was nice.

Author Annie Proulx became famous after her short story “Brokeback Mountain” was made into a movie in 2005 that won three Academy Awards and received five more Oscar nominations. (Plus, Proulx was just awarded the 2018 Library of Congress Prize for American Fiction.) This short story was originally published in the collection “Close Range: Wyoming Stories.” You can read my review of this book in my latest blog post here.
