"Loved these short stories with the exception of one or two of them. There were several that I wished were longer just because I liked them so much. Perfect for the holiday season!"

"I loved every story in this book! Yes! I loved every single one. It is hard to pick a favorite because I really, truly, liked them all! I was going to rate them each separately, but I give them ALL 5s so..fa la la! It was quite a mixed bag of shorts and I never knew what I was going to get next, which made it exciting. I think the order of the stories were perfect and I will certainly be reading this next christmas time as well! Why not make it part of the Yule tide traditions?! Keep an open mind, be ready for magic, and lovely gushy bits!"

"So I’m not going to give a rating for each story, because I thought all of them were great! Maybe it’s because I listened on Audible, or maybe it’s because I only listened to one a day, but I thought all them were sweet, festive, and fun. Yes, I liked some better than others (I’m partial to Rainbow Rowell since I love her other books) but since I don’t read a ton of YA I hadn’t read any of the other authors. Maybe I would have felt differently comparing their short stories to their other work, but as it was I would read any of these authors based on the amount of emotion they were able to convey in delightfully short snippets. It was the perfect dose of holiday cheer, and I would recommend it for anyone who needs a little more joy in their life, especially this time of year!"
