  3. Sandy - Funny, but this time last year I would have told you that I hated short stories!

    Heather Zundel - Thanks for visiting! I rediscovered short stories last spring (hadn't read any since high school ... ages ago). Then I discovered Short Story Monday hosted by The Book Mine Set, and just started participating. Hopefully that will continue in 2010.

  5. Mel U - Short Story Monday (hosted by John Mutford at The Book Mine Set) is the event I usually participate in. I try to read a story weekly, post a review on Monday, then add the link to my post in my comment to John. I believe there are also some short story challenges.
