# 1 Read 30 books - Girls Night In by various authors (Book 11)


I picked this book off of the library shelves because it had stories by some of my favorite authors (Sophie Kinsella, Jennifer Weiner...).  It's a collection of short stories by women authors and the book was put together so that the proceeds would benefit the organization War Child.
I guess maybe I'm not a short story kind of person.  I love it when characters and plots are developed and twisty and turny.  I didn't get that from these stories.  Many were entertaining...some were disappointing...and overall I thought the book was just okay.  Some of the writers did spin offs of their popular characters.  But I wasn't familiar with their full stories so those stories kind of had me confused.  As a whole, I didn't think the collection was that impressive.  There were a few stories that were humorous but I had to wade through more so-so ones than get to enjoy really good ones.

Read about it here.
