I enjoy short stories occasionally! Eye catching cover!
ReplyDeleteSushi is my favourite food and I feel this book is a good excuse to get some. I can eat it whilst I read the book.
DeleteI'm 3 stories away from finishing this collection. Some absolutely great ones here (and some ones that I need someone to explain to me why they're good, but I assume they are). #BloggersWeekendLinkUp
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed it. I'm thinking out diving into it later on this evening. Once I'm done reading I'd love to discuss the ones you liked/didn't. It's always nice to find other people who are/have read the same books.
DeleteI would love to read this over the summer. I'm absolutely swamped this spring. Thanks for sharing.
