Anthologies/short stories aren't real...It was.<br /><br />Anthologies/short stories aren't really my thing either, for the reasons Christy mentioned below. I only read them if I really like the topic. Ones that I've enjoyed: Zombies vs. Unicorns and Brave New Worlds. Both were pretty good. Anthologies would be much better for me if I didn't feel compelled to read them in their entirety, since I can usually tell I'm going to hate a story a page in.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00370486039531015541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555254327067745492.post-39610314527782794272012-08-20T08:06:36.255-04:002012-08-20T08:06:36.255-04:00Yay!

BA...Yay! I'm glad people like my crazy ideas. <br /><br />BAHAHAHA. What a loss.<br /><br />Right? It was so freaking weird. I was like THE EFF IS THIS?<br /><br />*shrug* The first book was kind of okay. The second one was what pissed me off no end, because it was pretty much the EXACT SAME BOOK.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00370486039531015541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555254327067745492.post-20777846447761988112012-08-20T08:05:16.328-04:002012-08-20T08:05:16.328-04:00Awww, thanks!

Short stories sometimes annoy me because if I love it I want more and if I hate it I can't believe I wasted my time. Maybe I'll get it just to read the metal eating bug story though :) Christy Maurerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13220324411296104585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555254327067745492.post-54821020598851225252012-08-19T11:41:12.836-04:002012-08-19T11:41:12.836-04:00I love The Forest of Hands and Teeth!
