Ladyacct | 40 comments Short stories in anthologies, if the whole book doesn't have all good stories, I don't rate it or review them and sometimes I will read one book out of the anthology just because it is part of the series I am currently into....

I have to say to myself next year not to divide it out in so many categories as I just spent about 30 minutes straightening my list out. It really doesn't help if you have your own ideas about where a book should go and not agreeing with the publishing companies......next year I think

75% from regular genres
25% for different areas ;-) yeah me!!!!!!

No I've found it's more time consuming next year it's just going to be 90% from my 'regular' genre's and 10% from other be much easier.
