chanteld's review against another edition
3.0
Finally finished reading this. Took me months (started in April its now October 30) to read these 40 short stories. The eBook is available for free on Bookshout and was one of the first books I got from that app store. Some of the stories were amazing, others odd and just zig zag jumbled words that made very little sense. But there were stories that were well written and entertaining.
My favourites (in no particular order) were:
A Plain Kiss (Letters to Allison, 2006) by Jaime Quatro
In A Manner of Water or Light by Roxane Gay
Miss November by Matthew Norman
What Good Is An Ark to a Fish? by Kelli Ford
Eighty-six Ways to Cross One Desert by Alexander Lumans
Birthright City by Eliezra Schaffzin
Granaby by Brandon Hobson
Djeser Djeseru (Splendor of Splendors) by Paula Younger

bhaines's review against another edition
I liked some of these. I think I like it when some stuff happens. If it's weird stuff like someone setting your town's giant ball of string on fire that's good. If it's normal stuff they have to hook you some other way which is harder.
A couple in here were pretty abstract.
Some nice ones: Basslines, Before the Trip, I Like Looking at Pictures of Gwen Stefani, Some Kind of Rugged Genius
but good other ones too. conflicted on things like opal one, opal two.

So, yeah, this took forever to read. It's a freebie from BookShout that I downloaded to have something to do at (?) a doctor's appointment. Anyway. Some good stories, some really excellent ones I'm still thinking about, and a couple I either skipped after one page or struggled through and wanted to kill myself for doing so. There wasn't really a theme, not that I could tell, except that I recognized none of the authors. Not bad. Feel free to skip the bad ones.
