011-014 Short Story Round Up

So I went  on a bit  of a short story  binge the  last few days. All of them being super short  don't really warrant their  own posts but I wanted to make sure that I did post that I read them.

011 -  How (Not) to Play With Magic (Cindy Eller 0.5)  by  Elizabeth A. Reeves.  
This is a prequel short story to set  up  her series  of books featuring Witch/baker Cindy Eller. It's a totally cute  funny read  that  introduces you to Cindy two of her sisters and  Cindy's roommates that I assume will play  the main parts in the series. I enjoyed  the story and plan to try  and check out the first full length book soon. I gave this 3 out of 5 stars on goodreads. 

012 - Baehrly Beginning: A Goldie Locke and the Were Bears Short Story (Goldie Locke and the Were Bears 0.5)  by Elizabeth A. Reeves.
This is a tie into the Cindy Eller  book. Another sister  of hers Goldie Locke   is  on a quest to avenge  her father's death (different father then Cindy) This one wasn't quiet as funny as the Cindy one but it's definitely  interesting and  another one that I will  likely try to continue at some point.  They  both seem like the books would be fun easy reads. And I am always game for those. I gave this 3 out of 5 stars on goodreads. 

013 - The Right Wrong Number by Barbara Delinsky.
This was a cute little love story about how  you can find just the person you didn't realize you  needed when  you make a simple  mistake like dialing the wrong number. It will make you trust  fate and love. I gave  it 3 out  of 5 stars. 

014 - What She Really Wants by Barbara Delinsky 
While the first short story above was about suddenly finding love this one  is about  if  it's still there years  later and what a couple learns about each other after so many years  of marriage.  It was a good read. I gave  it   3 stars out 5. 


Thanks to this  little binge and the fact that they count as a book each on good reads I am 3  books ahead  on my goal. So yay for a buffer.

I am currently reading Relatively Famous and Just in Time.
