This is my comfort read and I really need to re-read it.

One chapter in and Edward is already an unkind psycho.

Snow - A retelling of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. Really sad, yet hopeful story about a woman who gives Snow away and the seven deformed men who raise her. She finds out what love really means.

Robbo's Story - Dumpa's The Problem : I liked this story of being forced to discuss the actual problems in a family.

Pixie's Story - The Pains in my Life: I think this is one of the most realistic stories I've read about how hard it is to be forced into being a family with stepparents/stepmothers.

Ralph's Story - A Tale of Three Stepmothers: This one was a bit more superficial than the rest about a boy who's got a crush on his third stepmother.

I know this book has pretty low ratings on Goodreads, but it's kinda growing on me.

I think Romeo and Juliet might be my second favourite of all Sheakespeare's plays.

Colin's Story - Bluebird of Happiness: This one was really melancholy about a boy whose mother took him away from his dad.

I'm not sure how I feel about this. I get that the Muslims are extremely religious, but do they have to be portrayed as devout murderers? Conrad is also insufferable and even though Elaine is smart and not a Mary Sue, she's also extremely boring.

Claudia's Story - Green Pajamas: Kind of a nice story about a girl forcing herself to like her stepmother.

This is pretty good so far.

Okay, this book is heavily dragging in the middle.

This is more of a straightforward story, but I'm looking forward to seeing how it ends.

Xeethra - Clark Ashton Smith: I really don't understand the point of this story and it was incredibly boring.

I'm not as much of a fan of this book's plot as I was of the first.

Ok, I'm getting way more into this book now, but Colonel Race has a very small role in this.

The Tower of the Elephant - Robert E. Howard : This was the first of the stories I've read so far I liked. It was exciting and kept my interest, but it was VERY stock and not unique at all.

Not a huge fan of this so far.

The Wind in the Portico - John Buchan : Shocker, another boring story about some random temple/altar.

This book is both mysterious and addictive.
