Welcome to Litsy!

Like with most anthologies, I liked some stories more than others.

I've discovered a few authors that I want to check out now.

One of my favorite stories - I believe there is series based on these characters. I might have to read it after this little taste of their story. Unless it‘s connected like blackout: the novel - I am not going to read these stories in order. I will say they do get a little dark in some cases. There are not many traditional happy endings.#poc #lgbtq #anthology #shortstories #darkstories #woc #cliffhanger

4 out 5 - interesting anthology. I did not love all the stories but there were a few that I would love to continue reading. The stories range in length, genre, & storytelling. I would recommend this book if you are looking for a quick story spin. Random short stories over coffee would have been great idea instead a straight read through.

So far this book has some interesting short stories. They vary in theme. I am think this might have been fun as an audiobook to hear the the stories. This book might be a perfect idea for a short story a day or reading with with someone. I recognize a few of authors & meeting new ones is always fun. #poc #adventure #diversity #lgbtq #shortstories

Here I am trying to make my 7 book goal for July!!! Woohoo — I think I will do the inside scoop for the last book because it‘s a little slow. A Universe of Wishes is another great #ya anthology- first story has me hooked. Let‘s see where the others take me. #july #bookchallenge #julybday #leo #ya

As is always the case with short story collections, some were good, some were bad. I find that in this one, it is very evened out. There were a few more bad ones that good ones, but the good ones were so amazing that it makes up for the not-so-great ones. 4⭐️

Sunday relaxation in the form of reading a few short stories, continue working on my scrap yarn blanket (that I totally bought yarn for 😅), while #GoodOmens plays in the backgroud 😁

This is a collection of sci fi and fantasy stories from diverse writers. Some stories grabbed me more than others, for sure, but I loved how it was a great way to discover new writers I don‘t know. The audiobook was awesome too because each narrator was different and the accents are incredible. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Anyone else play the game of Which Hold Will Come In First? In which you place both digital and physical copy on hold at your libraries? Well, I did, and the winner is...Libby! 😂 Perfect timing, too, as I have finished my digital library books and was about to start reading books I actually own 😂

My book bean can also serve as a cat pillow 😻 I‘m not sure that‘s what book beau had in mind...

I didn't make it to 24 hours.. I guess being on winter break for 2 weeks means you have zero concept for how time works 😂. I logged over 12 hours but definitely got more than that I just hadn't started clocking my reading time. Here's to a beautiful New Year!

16.5 hours to go and less than 48 hours to do it. #24b421

Finished Among the Beasts and Briars so in onto the next book! I'm hoping to finish this one by New Year 🤞

Like any anthology, this was a mixed batch. Several stories were notably excellent, others less-engaging. Mostly fabulous characters.
