It was fun to pick up a book of short stories – something I had not done in years, if not since assigned to do so in high school. (I think that it’s a genre that’s harder to find, and I’m often too lazy to move beyond the best-seller tables in the front of the bookstore.) I found this collection a mixed bag of both engaging and/or funny, and boring chick-lit. There was a month where the book lay untouched on my nightstand because I was stuck in a particularly long-winded story that, despite being “short” seemed to never end. The standout, must-read story is “Leaving a Light On” by Claire LeZebnick. Proceeds from the book’s sales go to the Make-A-Wish-Foundation.
