With this review I have accomplished one of my 2 challenges for 2013. I wanted to read all of L.M. Montgomery's books in 1 year and I finished up the last short story collection last night!
Among the Shadows
Rating: 4 Stars
This collection focuses on Montgomery's darker stories. Many have a supernatural element and several discuss alcoholism and the effects of the addiction. This was one of my least favorites. While I liked several of the stories some of the morals seemed very outdated and a few were just way too long.
Christmas with Anne
Rating: 5 Stars
This is a selection of short stories and 2 excerpts (one from Anne of Green Gables and the other from Anne of Windy Poplars) all involving Christmas both in time period and spirit. This is a delightful Christmas-y book and I'll probably read it every year around this time.
At the Altar
Rating: 5 Stars
This is a fun little book containing stories that all involve a wedding or proposal. The main characters range from children to comfortable middle age. There is also a mix between new loves and reuniting. The stories are sweet, many are funny and all are just nice.
