2015 Book Challenge discussion

Short stories are awesome quick reads which makes them perfect for reading challenges like this one.

These are more "essays" than "short stories" but I'm counting it anyway...

Not That Kind of Girl: A Young Woman Tells You What She's "Learned" by Lena Dunham

Just finished The Best American Mystery Stories 2013

I found it interesting that most of the stories in this collection I wouldn't have thought of as mysteries, at least not in the classic sense.

I expected to like more of the stories, given that it was a "Best of" collection. My two favorite were "So Near Any Time Always" by Joyce Carol Oates and "When They Are Done With Us" by Patricia Smith.

There were a couple others that were OK; the rest didn't really speak to me.

So it looks like this is the topic that won the poll for a group read! WOOOO I will have another poll up either Monday or Tuesday so we can vote on which short story collection we want to read :)

Just finished Bloodletting & Miraculous Cures by Vincent Lam, as part of a personal challenge to read all of the Giller winners in order, and it fit this category as well!
