What Members Thought
This was such a fun mix of holiday stories. There were sweet, light ones and dreamy ones and some magic and fantasy filled ones.
These are the stories as I'd rate them one by one:
* Midnight: 5/5
I love these two!
* The Lady and the Fox
I also loved this one! 4/5 I love how she updated what he gave her.
* Angels in the Snow
This one just did not hold my attention but it was cute. 3/5
* Polaris is Where You'll Find Me
I just could not get into this one. It was just okay 2/5
* It's a Yuletide Miracle, C ...more

This collection is amazing. There are very few short story collections where I find there are more hits than misses. It doesn't hurt that they managed to rope in tons of solid YA authors. Also, that cover is darling. It took me several stories (probably too many) before I realized all the figures on the cover corresponded to the couples in each story.

3.75 overall
Midnights by Rainbow Rowell 4/5
This was pretty cheesy but was still a perfect first story for this collection.
The Lady and the Fox by Kelly Link 2.5/5
I'm not sure I really understood this one. I liked it well enough and I was intrigued to see where it would end up but the ending just kind of fell flat for me.
Angels in the Snow by Matt de la Pena 5/5
Simple yet emotional.
Polaris is Where You'll Find Me by Jenny Han 2.5/5
Meh.

These were great short, fresh stories. I like how they were holiday TIMED but were not necessarily ABOUT the holiday or holiday-centric. The only story I wasn't crazy about was the very last one but it was still good.
