Books From The Backlog – Distorted by Roberta L Smith @bertabooks #booksfromthebacklog

.

I do read anthologies and collections and I know some readers don’t care so much for them. I hope you will still take a look see. You might just find a hidden gem.

GOODREADS BLURB

Five tales where life takes a turn for . . . well, you decide.

Bed of Thorns – She’s rich. She’s bored. Time for some excitement. Little does she know where her latest relationship with someone a tad too young and handsome will lead.

In His Shoes – How do you get even when justice isn’t served? And if you succeed, what then? In the end life seems to have a way of working these things out for all concerned.

R.I.P. Katherine Colton – A screen siren who committed suicide in 1970 is celebrated even today. But the question lingers. Did she kill herself? This movie star’s greatest fan just has to know.

The Miracle – If you want something bad enough — like being the person you’ve always admired — can your wish come true? Maybe so. But not necessarily in the way you think.

Skyglow Undercover – He’s sent undercover in what used to be one of New York City’s grandest hotels. Problem is, he knows nothing more than that. He’ll find out why, all in good time.

Goodreads rating: 4.50  ·  ·  10 ratings  ·  5 reviews

I love that cool cover and that’s probably why I grabbed it. Sometimes a quick read is just what I need and to have five stories in one book sounds like a treat to me. It may only have five reviews and ten ratings, but it has my caught attention. What do you think? Do you read anthologies and collections.

  1. I find I am not a fan of short stories in general, but anthologies can feel a bit disjointed, at least the ones I have read. Are these stories all written by the same author? I think that would be more successful, if I liked the author.

    • yeah, i have to be in the right mood for them. i think they are all by roberta, but i’ll check further

  2. I’m certainly one of those people who don’t greatly love anthologies yet I seem to have a pile waiting for my attention! I have a few zombie and dinosaur ones to try and a couple of horror and apocalypse. When I’ll get to them is anyone’s guess! Enjoy your anthology!

    • yeah, i have to be in the mood, but ya never know where that hidden gem is that makes it all worthwhile. 🙂 i could definitely get into the dinosaur one. 🙂

  3. What a timely question! I’m reading one now as a matter of fact, Fantastic Hope. I do love the short story and novella collections which give me stories I can finish in one sitting and get the chance for a variety and new to me authors. I’ve found some of my favorite authors and series this way. Hope you enjoy this one, Sherry!

  4. I do enjoy anthologies sometimes. It gives you a glimpse into the author’s writing to see if you’d want to pick up more by them. R.I.P. Katherine Colton sounds like an interesting story. Hope you enjoy the collection! 🙂
