I read 5 short stories in May (message 6). (One I that listed was actually a set of 3 stories). That's more than two so I broke my record from the previous couple of monthly challenges!

[Rosemarie]

Way to go, Annette!

[Shaina]

Thanks Rosemarie, I still have some shorts to read, can’t wait to see what’s up for next month, maybe some will fit the June challenge 😄

[Jazzy]

Trisha will be doing the layout for the new challenge very soon!

I enjoyed the short stories & read more than I had planned. Short stories aren’t my usual reading, but this month got me interested in reading more. Congratulations to everyone who took part in the challenge.

Exactly! ;-) I've read two gothic short stories ( one by Edgar Allan Poe and the other by Guy de Maupassant ) and the last one is for today. :-) I will probably hold up to the gothic/horror like stort story theme for this last one as well. Nothng better than that to read late at night! XD

[Rosemarie]

Congrats on successful challenges, Lynn and Irphen!

[Lynn]

Thanks Rosemarie. I actually have one more short story to add. This is the updated month: 6 classic short stories and 2 classic children's books.

[Rosemarie]

I love Strega Nona-and Big Anthony!
