Shaun Collins (3 KP) rated Doctor Who: Twelve Doctors of Christmas in Books
Jan 12, 2018
A fun and whimsical collection of short stories featuring each of the Doctors and set at Christmas time. Of course, some of the stories by the various artists are better than others, but there was only one that I felt was not up to the same quality as the others (the second Doctor story) and yet it was still enjoyable. A great, read for the holidays. Full review coming at www.travelingthevortex.com

Gossip girl but in the Hamptons and the girl is the neice of the housekeeper.
I thought this would have more romance but mostly it is teenage angst, stuck up rich people, and two girls who become friends after some pretty weird stuff happens. It was a short read that was perfect for just having around but honestly I don't think I would pick it up ever again.

Short but sweet, naughty and nice, and sooooo funny, Tiffany Reisz has done it again. A brilliant read for an afternoon, and it's really easy to get along with that its as if you already know the characters.
Such a thoughtful wedding pressie from a character from another book ( sorry, i am not giving it away ;-))
I love the Bell hop, I think I might need more of him x

A real page turner! I've had this book for awhile and having read White Crow by Marcus Sedgwick and loving it, I decided to give Midwinterblood a go.
What am amazing book!! I finished it in less than 24 hours! It's like reading a bunch of short stories that are part of one big story.
I'd definitely recommend this book as it's definitely one of my now faves =)

I mean - for childhood nostalgia this book was alright.. seeing as I'm not a kid anymore it was not all that great lol
What more can I say about this - though it teaches a great life lesson as all the Sabrina shows did ... not much can happen in such a short amount of book ! Definitely reading it to the young one though - or letting her read it, she will love it

Caitlin Ann Cherniak (85 KP) rated Limericks Haiku and Other Short Poems in Books
Oct 21, 2018
I won this book in a Kindle giveaway, and I'm mixed when it comes to this book. There are a bunch of beautiful and funny short poems in here, but then there are a few that are either repetitive or made me ask, "Why does this exist?" I'm still gonna keep this book, so I can share it with friends, but I'm probably not gonna read this over and over again.
Eilidh G Clark (177 KP) rated Strong Words: Modern Poets on Modern Poetry in Books

A book of why I write by people who write
A book of short essays from poets writing about the art of poetry. Look out for Kathleen Jamie's essay on truth, very insightful. Some of the book was like a massive tongue twister whilst others where thought provoking. Worth a read if you want an insiders view.

This was a really nice short read. I really enjoyed it and cannot wait to get my hands on the rest of the series. I liked the character development of the female lead. It had some incredible twists and turns. And who doesn’t like forbidden love? I really couldn’t put this down and devoured it in one sitting. I won’t say too much so you can enjoy it for yourself
The Chocolate Lady (94 KP) rated A Snow Garden and Other Stories in Books
Oct 5, 2020
In this collection, Rachel Joyce connects seven short stories that span from just before Christmas Eve through New Year's Eve. What is most interesting is that Joyce not only arranges these tales chronologically, she also links them with other elements. You can read my review of this book (that I'm giving 4.5 stars out of 5) here. https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2017/04/15/the-eves-of-winter-stories/
