I haven't had the chance to read The Poison Eaters yet, but it does make me wonder what other books I haven't read that these stories pop up in.<br /><br />Thanks for the individual reviews! This one is on my TBR list, but I think it will stay relatively in the middle at the moment. I love short stories, but I prefer to be drawn into a long one with a great world and characters :).<br /><br />Following you now, I look forward to reading more of your reviews!Jessica N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07734855129352601818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1821751644618724590.post-57542845716864734222010-09-27T14:58:01.458-04:002010-09-27T14:58:01.458-04:00Stopping by from the CEP.

I'm not really sure they specifically marketed it as all new... I just know I got the book without ever hearing they weren't.<br /><br />I just wish it had said on the front "With 2 new short stories" or something like that... then I would have known the rest were not new!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15111661500387424612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1821751644618724590.post-59175515145013714522010-09-23T03:10:28.980-04:002010-09-23T03:10:28.980-04:00I love how you split up the review system for this...I love how you split up the review system for this book. And I'm a huge fan of Holly Black and short stories, but it's sad that they marketed it as a new collection when they're old stories... than again, I haven't read any of her short stories yet, so I'll be on the lookout for this one.<br /><br />Those squids are the cutest things I've ever seen.

Gold...I'm glad I could garner some interest :)<br /><br />Golden Eagle: What is it that you don't prefer about Holly Black... perhaps I could tell you more accurately if you should look into it or not, lol!<br /><br />And yeah... I usually don't read short stories (just Stephen King's, Ray Bradbury's and A.S. Byatt's) so it's probably just my inexperience with Anthologies that makes it annoying for me to find a bunch of the stories in books I already own. I guess I just wish it had mentioned earlier that all but two of these were previously published... of course, I'm also probably mostly annoyed with myself for not figuring that out!!!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15111661500387424612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1821751644618724590.post-83033774815432269692010-09-22T12:24:41.404-04:002010-09-22T12:24:41.404-04:00I tend to like anthologies, although I do love a w...I tend to like anthologies, although I do love a world that's written about more extensively than in a short story.
