Idk guys. It may just be that short stories are not my cup of tea, but I found these really boring and couldn't wait to finish them all just to go over to the next reading of the year.

Beautiful cover tho! Really nice to have on a bookshelf and truly aesthetically pleasing.

I've never read a collection of shorts before. It was so strange with a mystery how little detail you were given and the last line would say who done and then it's over and done. The first few stories I really enjoyed and could see these fleshed out into novels. Unfortunately, the a majority of them were boring and didn't interest me.
