"May we live impossibly. Against all odds. May people look at us and wonder how such jewels can sparkle in the sad desert of the world. May we live the impossible life." - Sebby, Pg116

12th story: 5/5

A fan of Taylor but honestly in the beginning I thought I would like read it fast instead of taking my time to indulge but as I read through it I feel in love with everything.

fave quote:"The senses have their limits, and we can never know how short they fall in revealing to us the truth of a vision, a scent, a sound."

11th story: 5/5

Honestly... If I have the choice to do it. I would have too. The romance is a bit too rushed but it's okay.

fave quote:"If you just want to go away then any ticket will get you there." and "When you lose someone, you lose a little bit of yourself too."

10th Story: 4/5

I like the budding romance and the way they didn't focus much on the romance but family and happiness on Christmas. Though I am still curious on Ben background story.

Fave quote: "People don't need to remember how it felt to be happy and safe in the past. They need to have hope that they can get there again in the future."

9th story: 3/5

Wasn't too fond but I didn't hate it either, just so-so but I love the message that the story try to convey.

Fave Quote: "Rules makes people feel safe. But they can turn into judgements. Condemnation is easy. The harder choice is love." and "If you let a single life event define you, then all you need to change things -if you want them to change- is another."

8th Story: 4/5

It's a cute story of self acceptance. As I read it, the scene in my head make me feels like I'm watching a movie.

Fave quote: "You can't undo loss. You can't unmake a mistake."

7th Story: 7/5

Magic, Christmas, horror, fantasy and romance. 5 of my favorite thing in one story. I would read it every time I feel like reading it.

Fave quote: "But once you create a thing, you can't always control it." & "All I need was to believe that the world wasn't one way. That it was big enough to contain a lot of different stories in it."

6th Story: 5/5

I mean... It could be better if Connor stay awake and appear instead of sleeping while wanting his other half to be santa lol

Fave quote: "I'm here, and he is here, and everything I need to know is that I will hold him and he will hold me until I'm warm again, until I know I belong."

5th Story: 6/5

I know I read about Marigold and North before and said it was cute but this is like whole lot cuter. I can't even /sobs/

Fave quote: "Everyone has at least one (superpower). Unfortunately, most people have dumb ones like always being the first to spot a four-leaf clover. Or always being able to guess a person's weight to the exact pound."

4th story: 3/5
The story build up is so great until it ends just like that... Like... I don't expect the ending to be like that short. The open ending is killing me too.

Fave quote: "He says that if you have that magic inside you, you should protect it all your life and never let it go, because once it's gone, it's gone forever."

3rd story: 2/5
Not really my style, it's slow but the pacing make sense for the story. I wish the story pacing is a bit faster and more impactful.

Fave quote: "Sometimes I feel like a shook-up bottle of soda. Like, I have all this passion that wants to explode, but I don't know where to aim it yet."

2nd story: 3/5
I... Lost for a while then understand what happened. I love the whole setting and pacing but I wish there something more? Like a point to make it more heart-wrenching.

Fave quote: She's not sure of course, that this will work. If this is playing by the rules. But isn't she is owed something by now? A bit of luck?

1st story: 5/5

The tension between the two. The look that Noel gave to Mag every time they count to one. I just... Okay... I'm a hopeless romantic. I want more. I need more.

Fave quote: "Everything was the same and everything was different. Same people. Same music. Same couches. But they'd all grown apart in 4 months, and in wildly different directions."

"Only a fool would risk everything on a single roll of the dice." -- The Spider, pg 33

Favorite quotes:
"Perhaps this, right here was his punishment: never knowing what it was to love."
"Only one thing comforted him: he had finally learned what it was to love. And the feeling was deeper and more meaningful than anything he has felt before. He felt like he was dying. To die, one must have first been alive."

Queen song.

I wish the story is longer. I want to know more. Mare would love meeting Coriane. Why is the story have to end that way /sobs/

Last story: 3/5
It bore me when until when they met and I feel like the "Love" part just a bit too forced? Like they could just hold hand and kiss at the end without those statement. I don't like how it wrapped up but I enjoyed the adventure.

Fave quote: "You can spend your life waiting and watching for perfect moments, but sometimes you have to make one happen."

11th story: 5/5
I did not see that twist, maybe because of my lack of knowledge on it and somehow my heart fluttered. Some stuff are meant to happen, either in thousands of right or thousands of wrong way.

Fave quote: "There are still a thousand ways this could all go wrong. But there are a thousand different ways it could go right, too." & "There were only two options. Either it was going to be fine or it wasn't."

10th Story: 5/5
I was hoping for another fantasy story after the 1st one and Casandra Clare doesn't disappoint. I love the setting, love the idea, it was a bit predictable but I can live with that.

Fave quote: "I love... how much you love this place. And it made me think that real love, not the Hallmark kind or the love potion kind, is scary and fierce and amazing."
