This book has summoned me while it was on the shelves. Got this for less than a dollar and the stories were so amazing, especially the GRRM one. You can never go wrong with a George RR Martin story. This is actually, I presume, will be the Season 2 of House of the Dragon. So glad I found this gem!

This anthology definitely was a mix for me. I loved some of the stories, others were forgettable and some I almost bailed on 😬

I am posting one book per day from my to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new - don‘t judge me I have a lot of books.
Join the fun if you want. This is day 323.

Here‘s my review for the first book I finished reading this book. I had to carry this book over from last month because I didn‘t finish it. I read this book for #beatthebacklist and I‘m counting this book for the prompt “Anthology”.

This book is a mixed bag. There are a few excellent stories in here from authors like Brandon Sanderson and Jim Butcher. There are also a few not worth reading. Pick and choose your short stories and don't feel bad about it.

3/5⭐️As you see, I liked some of the short stories a lot and others not at all! I didn't enjoy this anthology as much as their other one, "Rogues".

Thought I would give you all a taste of yesterday's Women's March in DC. It was unbelievable how many people were there. I saw several librarian signs but could not get my phone out fast enough.

Its an interesting collection of stories but not a great one. Some stories were brilliant and wonderful but others annoyed me and I didn't finish one. Still, it would be hard to pick a single favorite. For me, it was worth the read for: Some Desperado; Raisa Stepanova; A Queen in Exile; Second Arabesque, Very Slowly; Hell Hath No Fury; Pronouncing Doom; and Lies My Mother Told Me.

Others were good too.

I really loved this book. I love books with strong female characters. All of the stories in this book are great but some are better than others. Not all of them have strong female leads. Some cover the consequences of actions by strong women. This sort of short story collection is also a nice way to get to know new writers.

Martta @OSChamberlain Here is the book I mentioned earlier. I accidentally deleted the original review while trying to tag you to a comment and the photo disappeared with it. Luckily somebody else has an image so the cover is visible. 8y
OSChamberlain Very cool! Thanks for the tag. Adding it to my list right now 😊 8y
Martta @OSChamberlain Nice! Tell me if you liked it when you are done. I'll add the cover image to this review when I get home tonight. I have the version of the book with all the stories in it. This information page image is only of the first part of the book. It has been published as one book and also as three separate books because it is so big. But really worth the page amount. 8y
OSChamberlain Ooooh now I really want it! I love big books! 8y
Martta If I remember correctly my edition of this book has around 1000 pages and the book itself has very big pages so I think you will not be disappointed with that. 8y

The second story in this collection is HARROWING. I had to hit pause and have a Taylor Swift dance party to recover. But I really enjoyed the collection, even the scary ones.

listening to kickass ladies while running make marathon training a snap ? just the right amount of action and fun. Not to mention really smart and funny writing. I'd recommend the audiobook over reading just for the narrator of "Desparado" alone - deliciously punchy especially when she curses ?

itsbrb I've never actually listened to a book while doing a half marathon but I've been giving it some thought. I only listen to book podcasts (I know, super specific) because they change topic often. Any other books you would recommend while running? 8y
CynCruz23 If you enjoy Haruki Murakami, listening to "What I talk about when I talk about running" is excellent. It helped me get into a zen state of mood. Other books that really help me when running are any comedic memoirs, they do an excellent job in distracting you. My favorites so far are Amy Poehler and Chris Rock. Short stories always work well for me because they're usually short and very focused and changes often (like podcasts) ??? 8y
CynCruz23 @itsbrb sorry I forgot to tag you in my reply above! 😝 what book podcasts do you like listening to? 8y
See All 7 Comments
itsbrb I just finished the Murakami one and really liked it! I loved Yes, Please by Amy Poehler. I will have to try some Chris Rock ones! Sounds like a great distraction! My favorite book podcasts are What Should I Read Next?, Get Booked, All the Books!, Book Riot and although it's not running anymore they have a TON of old and great episodes is Books on the Nightstand. @CynCruz23 8y
CynCruz23 @itsbrb glad you liked the Murakami! I actually enjoyed it more than his fiction 🙊 we listen to all the same podcasts 👏😁 I miss BOTNS with @Annkingman and @mkindness so much! But in happy they ended their awesome run in their own terms 8y
CynCruz23 @mkindness thank you for countless hours of entertainment, laughs, and so many "I need to read that book!" moments while I'm running! Also you were definitely the best comic/graphic novel recommender out there #botnsforever 8y

Day 10: a book you haven't read. I just ran across this book at my fave bookstore a while back and it just sounded fun and amazing. No hapless damsels in distress from a bunch of different authors (including George R.R. Martin 🎉), and puts together stories from all genres too. Will let you know when I get around to it 🙈 #readingchallenge2016
