I'll Be Home for Christmas by Holly Bourne
4.0
Overall rating: 3.75 stars
I really enjoyed some of these stories, whilst others were just OK. I felt that a lot of them didn't feel particularly Christmassy and some of them felt a bit similar to others. But overall, it was quite enjoyable and a nice collection of stories/poems.
Home and Away by Benjamin Zephaniah: 4/5 stars - this poem was lovely
Ghosts of Christmas Past by Non Pratt: 3/5 stars
If Only In My Dreams by Marcus Sedgwick: 3/5 stars - this one went over my head a bit - I'm not really sure what happened! I did read it pretty late at night, so it's probably just because of that!
Family You Choose by Cat Clarke: 4/5 stars
The Associates by Kevin Brooks: 2/5 stars
The Afterschool Club by Holly Bourne: 5/5 stars
Homo for Christmas by Juno Dawson: 4/5 stars
Amir and George by Sita Brahmachari: I couldn’t deal with the writing style, so I just skipped this one - soz
The Letter by Tracy Darnton: 4/5 stars
Claws by Tom Becker: skipped this one too because I’m a major wimp and I don’t do horror!
Christmas, Take Two by Katy Cannon: 5/5 stars - this is the first one that’s really given me the Christmassy feeling and it was pretty cute!
When Daddy Comes Home by Melvin Burgess: 3/5 stars - this was a weird one
The Bluebird by Julie Mayhew: 3/5 stars
Routes and Wings by Lisa Williamson: 5/5 stars
