I was happy that SO MANY of the GLH writings that were on my list as TBR were included in this compilation! So that was super exciting! One step closer to my goal!
Overall, I would again recommend taking GLH's short stories in smaller bites if possible. I was borrowing this book from a co-worker so I felt like I should return it in a timely fashion and sped through it. There's only so much saccharine one can take...
But again, I was very excited to be able to cross off so many of her writings from this one book, so that was good! I quite enjoyed the story about Adelaide going to Convention - that was longer than some of the rest, but still very much worth reading! Overall, would probably recommend over some of her other short story collections.
