This M&B book whilst interesting doesn’t meet with the usual standards. The characters are lovely and the story line keeps you thinking but the lack of details is disappointing.

I had great hope's for this book, due to reviews I had read before picking it up. A bit disappointing, if I'm honest. It did read like a story but without any emotion. It was predictable which was quite off-putting. I read reviews of humour, but I found none. Written in short chapters so very quickly and easily read. I did read it all though, so there is that. I probably wouldn't recommend.

Such a lovely book of short stories! Each one had a feel good factor and I found myself either stifling a giggle or smiling by the end of them.
I haven’t read anything by any of the authors except for Katie Fforde but this book has definitely made me rethink that. Every single author had me absorbed in their few pages of story within the first couple of lines.
I would recommend this as a short read for anybody who wants to read something that will make them smile. It is also one that can be picked up and put back down easily with them being such short stories.
This book does exactly what it says on the cover… makes you smile!

Nidhogg 2 is a surprisingly short game, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a lot of fun. While the Arcade Mode is rather short at eleven stages, the local and online multiplayer options will keep fans coming back.

Original Score: 8 out of 10

So my friend Dominic Jenkinson has made a short movie on You Tube (the link is in my review). Have a read of my review and watch the short film. Enjoy!

I remember reading this book when I was 11-12 years old and let me tell you, it is one of the funniest books you will ever read. The stories are short, which is great for anyone with a short attention span, not much time for reading, or just looking for a quick laugh.

Great start to a new series
For those having read Vampire for Hire by J.R. Rain this is a must read. H.T. Night dives into the before it happens with this new series. Loved being able to see Samantha before she became a Vampire P.I

Excellent short story (read in under an hour) telling some of the background to the full Chronicles of the Black Gate series.
While the short story doesn't go into much detail on the world, races, geography etc this doesn't hinder enjoyment as a standalone work, as well as being a nice opener for the series as a whole.

Dumbledores commentaries (1 more)

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?
  
A very short read but the romance in this story is fun and sexy. The characters are ok but you can't really get a feel for them because it's so short. If you enjoy a story about swingers and have quick 20 minutes then give this a go.
