i'm currently on page 120 and i will be able to get a lot of reading done saturday which will be nice. i never skip stories, even if i'm bored by them. i love short stroies and so i try to finish all of the ones i read :) so far the stories have been very intersting. i even read the 2nd story aloud to my little and sister and she asked about reading a few of the stories when i was done with the book :)

[Lauren]

Oh that's cool!
I try not to skip any stories but sometimes they're just ao boring I have to just skim through thwm

i can understand that. i could't make it trough the host. i read the first two chapters and then just could't keep going.

[Lauren]

Yeah, the first few chapters of The Host were really confusing... But if you get some ways in it gets really good and the ending is super good. It's one of my favorite books now :)

i try'd to read it like three times and i just could't get trough it but i'm not sure i'll even watch the movie.

[Lauren]

Yeah, my friend couldn't get through it either, I guess you wither love it or hate it

Ao I finished the 8th story, it was pretty good
I like how thr author wrote it (like, writing style) and I really loved the last paragraph!

[Lauren]

I just finished the ninth story and I really liked it!! It's the one about the Beast

[Ericka]

so far my favorite has been the first story, but i thinks thats only becasue how diffrent the idea was. i mean you can't get much more creative then a killer plant that looks like a spot but i have to admit the 9th story was great :)

[Lauren]

Just finished the tenth one. I didn't like it as much as the others, but it was still okay. Which story are you on?
The next ones one of the longest, 52 pages...
I'm gonna try to read at least one or two stories a day since I'm now reading this along with other books.

[Ericka]

i'm in the middle of the 10th story, i'm hopeing to get it done tomarrow

[Lauren]

I just finished the next one! (11th) I like that chapters, it made it seem not as long
I liked it, it was pretty good, but still not one of my favorites

[Lauren]

Finished the 12th story (Manticore and Mermaid) I liked the parts with/about the mermaid but not so much the rest... The next one is really long (like 80 pages)

[Ericka]

i just got started on the 11th story, but i'm looking forward to the 12th stroy very much becasue i love love love mermaids.

i just finshed the 12th lol. it seems i'm always one story behind you lol. is it a traditonal werewolf story or a more morden version?

[Lauren]

Haha
Umm it's different but its set in the past, but I defiantly into think it was your normal werewolf story

sounds intersting. i'll read it today :)

[Lauren]

Finished thw 14th one, only two left! It was less mythical creature, but it was still a good story, really good length too. Also, the poem rhyme thing in it was a really nice touch!

[Lauren]

Just finished the bike one (15th) too. It was a good length too, and the idea was really creative, haha. I liked the ending too.

[Lauren]

Finished the last one, it was really good too! This books was really good, I didn't hate any of the stories and that's never happened with me and collections of short stories before... How far are you?

just finished the last one :)

[Lauren]

Did you like it? (:

[Ericka]

i liked it. it wasn't something i'm use to however, most of the time when i read a book with multiple stories it's a bunch of horror stories so it was nice to see a anthology for a diffrent genre, becasue this ones main focus was diffrent creatures & it really had a wide varitey and i'd love to see another unnatural creatures book

[Michelle {Book Hangovers}]

I love Neil Gaiman!!

I'll be getting this book this weekend along with The Darkest Minds and The Golem and the Jinni

[Lauren]

Me too Ericka, I really hope he does another one

[Lauren]

I think you'll really like this Michelle, only one story is by him, but he picks really good stories and he comments on all of them
The Darkest minds is on my list too!
