“But people don't need to remember how it felt to be happy and safe in the past. They need to have hope that they can get there again in the future.”3,6/5 stars (average rating of all 12 short stories)So while Laini Taylor's short story was stunningly beautiful and magical, there were others that really surprised me as well.I've never read anything by Matt de la Pena and I must say I really loved Angels in the Snow. Same thing applies to Welcome to Christmas, CA by Kiersten White.Of course, a...

loved the first couple of stories but became bit to similar for me! BUT i will re try this christmas again!

Actual Rating: 3.33 stars#1: Midnights by Rainbow Rowell - 3⭐️ This was a cute story, nothing special but I definitely enjoyed it!#2: The Lady and the Fox by Kelly Link - 1 ⭐️ I only read a few pages of this story but I just can’t get myself to even read another page of it. I don’t really understand what’s going on and I don’t like the writing style.#3: Angels in the Snow by Matt de la Peña - 4⭐️This was such a cute and quick read. I really enjoyed it! #4: Polaris Is Where You'll Find Me by Jenn...

It’s Christmas book time! This had some really cute Christmas and holiday stories. My favorites were the ones that really went all out with the holiday cheer, drowning us in snowmen and peppermint latte goodness, like “Polaris Is Where You’ll Find Me” by Jenny Han where the main character Natalie is the daughter of Santa Claus (I just love the sweetness of Jenny Han stories, and this was such a North Pole treat), and Stephanie Perkins’ “It’s A Yuletide Miracle, Charlie Brown” which takes place o...

I'll be rating each short story separately! So far I've read..."Midnights" by Rainbow Rowell: 5 starsSo cute and adorable. Rainbow is the main reason I wanted to read this book."The Lady and the Fox" by Kelly Link: 4 starsI really liked this story! It was intriguing and beautiful, but it also was a little confusing..."Angels in the Snow" by Matt de la Peña: 3.5 starsThis was cute and a little sad, there was a part when I wanted to cry."Polaris is where you'll find me" by Jenny Han: 4.5 starsI lo...

I really enjoyed this book overall! I don't read lots of books like this though... I don't know if I ever have before actually... but it WAS really strange to be reading a story that you LOVE then go on to read a mediocre story. Below I've listed my individual star ratings:*****Midnights by Rainbow Rowell: 5/5 LOVED this!*The Lady and the Fox by Kelly Link: 1/5 This was so weird and random. Especially after reading Midnights.**** Angels in the Snow by Matt de la Pena: 4/5 KITTY! This was good. I...

I've read a story from this anthology every night up to Christmas Eve! It was just a fun little treat to myself and something that helped me get even more into the holiday season (along with The Sorcerer's Stone Illustrated Edition). I was very surprised, because I absolutely adored a few stories by authors I've never read before. Then, in turn, a few of the bigger named authors I've read and loved were disappointments. Overall, this really is a heartwarming book filled with lots of holiday chee...

Like almost all short story collections by various authors, this one is a mixed bag of hidden gems and ones I didn't even finish. If you'd asked me beforehand to name a list of YA authors that I'd like to appear in a short story collection, many of the ones here would have made that list: Stephanie Perkins, Laini Taylor, Holly Black, Gayle Forman, David Levithan and maybe Rainbow Rowell (I like but don't love her books). Then if you'd asked me what kind of short story collection I'd like to have...

*I'll update with individual ratings for each of the stories tomorrow*

April 30, 2014 When I first saw this:Whenever I think about it:

3.6 stars(according to my calculations)My True Love Gave to Me is a super cutesy, mostly contemporary holiday inspired anthology. I don’t usually like anthology collections but somehow I liked this. All of the stories were great, some were better than others, but none were terrible. This book is pretty famous in the book community, and for a good reason, it’s a classic holiday read that I suggest to anyone looking to get into the holiday spirit. ❄️Midnights – Rainbow Rowell – 4 stars❄️I love Rai...

pros of this book:- christmas- young adult romancecons of this book:- it's not good- romance short stories are possibly the least satisfying content on earth.that's all i have to say.part of a series i'm doing in which i review books i read a long time ago

Well this book was such an ideal festive read with an adorable combination of 12 short romantic stories. I shall give each story its own individual rating as to me, some of them are heart-warming while some are jusst meh!4/5* Midnight by Rainbow Rowell: This is legitally the definition of cuteness. Honestly, Rainbow Rowell has done it again!2/5* The Lady and the Fox by Kelly Link: Umm... This is an example of meh! This story may not be a nicely convenient read for me. The characters are confusin...

Isn’t just fantastic when your computer shuts down and you lose your entire review???? Yeah, same. I seem to never get tired of this book, some of these stories I LOVE and some were poop but all in all it’s a great anthology. Midnights: by Rainbow Rowell - I absolutely adored this one, all three times I’ve read it. It’s really one of the perfect ones to start the anthology off with bc it’s short and cute and gahhhh - It’s written by Rainbow Rowell, so it’s like an automatic fav- I loved how it...

Sadly I couldn't enjoy the stories, most of them were extremely boring and to be honest I only enjoyed 3 of 12 stories and it's sad but I couldn't feel any winter, less Christmas time? It was so "yeah, ok, cool" so it's a no from me.
