It surprised me because I've only read her Mind Games duology and the short story she wrote was in such a different voice.Amaris (amarisafloria.com)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01820848647681893231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-172401798009161606.post-59819135593447440282014-10-25T12:40:08.422-07:002014-10-25T12:40:08.422-07:00Just the thought of having to read through a bunch...Just the thought of having to read through a bunch of stories written by different authors is a little bit daunting (are you allowed to skip some? Do you have to read them in order?) but I didn't feel that way with this one. It's probably because I recognized most of the authors before I started reading :) Tons of people are saying that they like the UK cover better! I love this one because of the illustration on this cover (as opposed to nothing!) but the UK one is pretty. Let me know which one is your favorite when you read it!Amaris (amarisafloria.com)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01820848647681893231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-172401798009161606.post-11992021541006488712014-10-25T12:34:19.732-07:002014-10-25T12:34:19.732-07:00Seeing "Charlie Brown" makes me really w...Seeing "Charlie Brown" makes me really want to read the comics from start to finish now :p It really put me in the holiday spirit — I'm ready for all the wintery books! I did love the Rainbow Rowell story but it was written in a way that I don't normally like, so it kind of put me off a bit. Don't get me wrong though, it was lovely :)Amaris (amarisafloria.com)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01820848647681893231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-172401798009161606.post-80736053433307087172014-10-23T10:22:05.418-07:002014-10-23T10:22:05.418-07:00Stephanie Perkins' was my favorite too!

I also really liked Gayle Forman's, Rainbow Rowell's, Laini Taylor's, and Kiersten White's. :) Great review!Amaris (amarisafloria.com)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01820848647681893231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-172401798009161606.post-91609651403796422772014-10-15T18:23:48.634-07:002014-10-15T18:23:48.634-07:00Aw, I can't wait to read this!

I have to admit, I like the UK cover way better and kind of just want to buy that one... :) I have a feeling Stephanie's is going to be my favorite, too. She has that knack!Amaris (amarisafloria.com)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01820848647681893231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-172401798009161606.post-84149873602298865282014-10-14T15:38:57.750-07:002014-10-14T15:38:57.750-07:00I'm a fan of quite a few of the contributing a...I'm a fan of quite a few of the contributing authors, so I'm definitely going to pick this up sometime next month to get me in the mood for the holidays. I didn't think there would be any fantastical elements, so I'm looking forward to reading those stories in particular!Amaris (amarisafloria.com)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01820848647681893231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-172401798009161606.post-82231476548132823202014-10-13T14:37:05.779-07:002014-10-13T14:37:05.779-07:00The Charlie Brown story already makes me want to r...The Charlie Brown story already makes me want to read it! I love that Stephanie references Peanuts (I'm assuming the story isn't really about them though?) This sounds like a great holiday read with some totally awesome authors! How did you like the Rainbow story btw? I'm very curious about that one!Amaris (amarisafloria.com)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01820848647681893231noreply@blogger.com
