I don't recall seeing it in any On My New Arrivals Shelf...<br />This was on my radar since I found out about it in the summer, and I kinda liked Room. I don't know if I can say I like her writing because of it because Room was written in a five-year old perspective. I know what you mean with short stories, I don't mind memoirs though.<br /><br />Lilian @ <a href="http://noveltoybox.wordpress.com" rel="nofollow">A Novel Toybox</a>Lilianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11540910005642018594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555254327067745492.post-32787394423806653352012-12-15T12:08:21.091-05:002012-12-15T12:08:21.091-05:00I haven't read Room but I have had it recommen...I haven't read Room but I have had it recommended to me A LOT. I need to read it. I'm not a fan of historical fiction nor am I a fan of short stories. I'm with you that it all feels really uneven, some you love and some make you want to gouge your eyes out!Jennihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10714782276296445149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555254327067745492.post-52398676929063663852012-12-15T11:50:56.044-05:002012-12-15T11:50:56.044-05:00That's one of the reasons I stay away from aud...That's one of the reasons I stay away from audiobooks for the most part - if the voice of the narrator is uncomfortable, I can't enjoy the story at all.<br /><br />And I usually stay away from anthologies, too. I'm not one for short stories, and I can't really read one after another like that. Too often there will only be 1-3 good stories, and the rest will not speak to me at all.Bekkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17940606116740260845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555254327067745492.post-32221433524992981922012-12-15T09:01:52.355-05:002012-12-15T09:01:52.355-05:00I didn't know that this even existed.
