Midnights by Rainbow Rowell; 3.5/5

This one was cute and cozy, and friendship to lover is my favorite sort of romance, if I had to choose.



The Lady and the Fox by Kelly Link; 2/5

I wouldn’t say this one was bad so much that I didn’t know what was going on. Who was Fenny, exactly?? And the lady? His wife? Why were they trapped in this purgatory thing but also able to visit the living but only on Christmas in the snow?? Why was the girls mother in jail??? What did she do? I feel like there were unnecessary details that went unexplained, there was just to much going on to be wrapped up in a short story, this probably would be better suited as a novella, where we could learn about the mother and Fenny’s past.



Angels in the Snow by Matt De La Peña; 4/5

Sigh! What a great anthology! I have read several anthologies in my life and in all there were of course stories I liked but at least as much stories I didn't liked. Not here. ALL stories are really good! Well, I have some favourites, the stories by Stephanie Perkins, Myra McEntire, Kiersten White and Ally Carter were unbelievable fantastic. I wish some would be made into a whole novel, the old problem with short stories.. Nevertheless, I will definitely keep this as Christmas read and re-read some stories the next years :) also, the cover...! I could write a whole short story alone about the two beautiful covers. Hello? The U.S. version has all couples on the front, the British one has golden, shimmering, letters and pink pages. Precious book for my collection (aka bookshelf) <3 READ THIS BOOK!
