Hello! Hope everyone is having a stress-free holiday season and is enjoying all the winter fun! I’ve been in the mood for reading short stories lately, so I read 3 short story books this week. 
I’ll post one short story that I particularly liked from each book over the course of the next few days.
I quite liked Neil Gaiman’s How to Talk to Girls At Parties, which I read in Fragile Things: Short Fictions and Wonders. I love how the story allows the reader to develop his/her own thoughts about it. To me, this story seems to say that behind all those pretty faces, they are all aliens on the inside.
Some short stories are really good. I once read a collection with a ‘holiday and travel’ theme and they were brilliant.
How many guide have you written? Nice website btw!
