My True Love Gave to Me: Twelve Holiday Stories, by Stephanie Perkins
4.0
4 stars because most of the stories are just ok.
BUT CAN WE TALK ABOUT LAINI TAYLOR'S STORY?! Laini Taylor doesn't write stories she crafts magic. Reading "The girl who woke the dreamer" is like being enveloped in an ethereal cloud that swathes you in warmth and happiness which is a testament to just how amazing a writer she is.
Special mention must go to Holly Black, I loved Krampuslauf. Ally Carter had a good little mystery going, Rainbow Rowell had a cute little romance to kick the book off and Jenny Han's story really left me wanting to know what happened next but the rest of the stories, to be completely honest were a bit boring. Many I simply skimmed through.
Great little book to get you in the Holiday spirit!
