Your post allowed me to breathe a sigh of relief :)TNBBC Super Modhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15153016306489908880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5304920138891211736.post-62173880804493419152010-02-17T07:12:23.462-05:002010-02-17T07:12:23.462-05:00Thanks for your astute analysis of this book, Lori...Thanks for your astute analysis of this book, Lori; you mirrored mine and Ben's thoughts in many ways when we were first putting this manuscript together.

I do find that reading them is a kind of adventure, there is always one gem at least that stands out - that's the beauty of a short story collection, because they're short stories if you don't particularly like one it's over with pretty swiftly but there's bound to be a couple that make it well worth the read.<br /><br />Great cover!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5304920138891211736.post-35189539762494876712010-02-16T19:00:04.559-05:002010-02-16T19:00:04.559-05:00It certainly helps when the stories are all writte...It certainly helps when the stories are all written by one author.

If I find myself wandering from an early story, then I often just move on to something else altogether. However, strong short story collections are exhilerating. Great review; they just get better and better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
