What hooked me was your assertion that every story in this book was a winner. I often feel lukewarm about short story collections because of the ratio of good to bad stories, and this is a book where I think my expectations will be exceeded. Great post on this book. I am adding this one to my list.Zibileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05857638467064749190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8282761092944595871.post-88953295272904736132011-01-16T08:59:32.033-06:002011-01-16T08:59:32.033-06:00Care - Yay!

...Pfff! That doesn't leave many books, does it?<br />I am actually reading The Birth House by Amy McKay at the moment. I wonder what people would have to say about that. I am not a mother, nor a midwife, and don't aspire to become any of these. Plus I don't live in Canada and have no Canadian ancestry. I wonder why I bother reading it at all!Emhttp://emeire.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8282761092944595871.post-71762376956855028902011-01-15T17:46:26.645-06:002011-01-15T17:46:26.645-06:00You've convinced me.

If they don't like what I'm posting, they don't have to read it.<br /><br />Cass - LOL! I had never heard of Straight.com, and honestly I still don't know what it is. I just found the review on there. :) I love it when a book applies to real life so perfectly!<br /><br />Em - From this point forward, we can only read books written by authors who are exactly like us about people who are exactly like us. :)<br /><br />Amy - LOL! You get a seriously larger amount of traffic than I do!<br /><br />Vicky - It really struck me!<br /><br />Ana - I love peer pressure! <br /><br />Kathy - It's a really great collection, so I definitely recommend picking it up.Trishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13917705393662132891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8282761092944595871.post-29685330278553190292011-01-15T13:38:58.222-06:002011-01-15T13:38:58.222-06:00I'm just learning to appreciate short stories ...I'm just learning to appreciate short stories and this collection definitely interests me.bermudaonionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10726401178972099557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8282761092944595871.post-66732306554168391222011-01-15T12:18:00.931-06:002011-01-15T12:18:00.931-06:00Amy really made me want to read this, and now you ...Amy really made me want to read this, and now you had to go and add to the peer pressure ;) Excellent review, Trisha.

She's an amazing storyteller.<br /><br />I'm sorry that you've received negative feedback because of your reading/reviewing of GLBTQ literature. Some people are afraid of what they don't understand, and that fear can manifest itself in all sorts of horrible ways -- from sending a nasty email to a blogger, to committing a hate crime. <br /><br />Read and talk about the books you want to -- it's part of your rights as a human being. If people don't like it, they can take their negativity elsewhere. <br /><br />I can't wait to pick up Missed Her.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8282761092944595871.post-76518420303674331492011-01-15T07:50:28.942-06:002011-01-15T07:50:28.942-06:00I'm not normally a sh ort story collection fan...I'm not normally a sh ort story collection fan at all, but this year I've decided to take some time to read through all the ones on my shelves - one story per day. I have enough to last me through part of RIP season, but after that, I have nothing to read. I'm going to keep this one in mind, especially as you say every story is good.
