52 Book Challenge - Week 33

Thirty-three weeks into the 52 Book Reading Challenge, and the next couple of challenges really are the long and the short of it.

This week, we've got the simply delightful challenge of:

33. A book of short stories.

And this will be followed next week with the task of reading an entire trilogy or series. Whoo boy.

But let's look at the short stories first. It just so happens that we've already reviewed a few collections of short stories, so if you skim through our previous reviews, you may find something to tickle your fancy.

But if you want to find something new and exciting and different, you can take a browse through some of the different books we have in our catalogue when you go looking for "Short Stories" in the Subject begins... box on the Browse page.

Would you like some recommendations, rather than being let loose to browse (even though that's a bucket of fun)? GoodReads has a list of about a hundred recommended short story collections. Bookscrolling has a list of 25 "must read" short story collections. And The Guardian has a list of 10 short stories that its writer thinks are among the best. Somewhere in those lists you should find some inspiration.
