This is because I've rarely encountered an anthology (one that doesn't fit either case above) where I've enjoyed all the stories. Also, there are times where a short story just isn't satisfying enough for me.<br /><br />2. I am thankful for my family and friends that I have around me. :)winniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05572247688497515974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-116789728291762138.post-76898248559691444152012-11-12T12:30:42.762-06:002012-11-12T12:30:42.762-06:00What do you think about anthologies - love them or...What do you think about anthologies - love them or not a fan??<br />I do like anthologies - perfect for those brief reading opps!<br /><br />2.

The novella in the anthologie should be able to be read as a standalone to make us like the serie and want more ( sometimes in teh same time a good addition to the existants books yes but you shouldn't be obligated to have read it to understand the novella)<br /><br />2) what i'm thankful for: my family and the authors and bloggers who open their contest and giveaways to international and by doing so offer me the opportunity to discover new authors and seriesmikihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02841065155860721811noreply@blogger.com
