4.0

This, too, is a book that I should stop pretending I'm still actively reading. It's nothing against the book because I'm loving most of the stories, but it's a very long book with so many stories that I'll admit I got a little overwhelmed by it, so I decided to take an indefinite break.

I'm finding some new favourite authors in this (I may have a colour-coded spreadsheets just for anthologies) and love the variety of stories, heat levels, and story lengths. Personally, I'm not a fan of including the first few chapters of a longer story in an anthology because they're not complete stories, but there aren't that many in this. I kinda wish it had marked the ones that aren't complete in themselves so I could skip them, but that's my personal preference. (and it may well have done, but I don't remember seeing it)

I'm looking forward to continuing this one day and finding more new favourite authors. First, I need a breather <3
