The Algonquin Reader Spring 2018 is an exceptional sampler, highly recommended for the selected books, excerpts and author essays. 5/5
Thanks to Algonquin Books and NetGalley for this fun read. Opinions are mine.

Let me start by mentioning the cute cover on this. There is a cute cover on this.
I used to read publications in a very similar format to this Algonquin Reader when I was younger, in Portuguese. Therefore, this unexpectedly happened to become quite the nostalgic read.
I cannot say I loved all the stories in this, I actually must admit I found most of them very boring. So, although being quite a short read, it was tough to get through this. But, I enjoyed the format and will likely gravitate towards it again in the future, just with the hopes it will carry more intriguing and exciting stories than this one did.

The Algonquin Reader felt rather fitting to read during my holiday to Canada. I really liked the idea behind the collection; several authors have written original essays about subjects relating to their newest novel, or short story collection. The two are then paired together. Of all of the featured forthcoming books, only one title has gone onto my TBR list, but I did enjoy the concept, and found the majority of the essays interesting.
