Polaris Is Where You'll Find Me by Jenny Han
Non- Spoiler Review: This is my 3rd favorite story in this book. This book reminds me of Elf the movie with Will Ferral. If you like that movie read this book.
Spoiler Review: In short stories there is very little time to introduce a new world, but Jenny Han did it. I loved how out of place she felt and the fact that she wanted to be with but couldn't. I want more I want to know what happened. Uhhhhhh why?
Rating: 5 stars

Beer Buckets and Baby Jesus by Myra McEntire
Non- Spoiler Review: I could see how this story was supposed to be cute, but for a short story it took way too long to get into the book also the problems were resolved just like that. I get that this is a short but the main character needed a lot more character growth time
Rating: 3 stars

Star of Bethlehem by Ally Carter
Non- Spoiler Review: This story was so cute. I wish there was more because I know that problems can occur in the future for our main characters

Rating: 4.5 stars
The Girl Who Woke the Dreamer by Laini Taylor
Non- Spoiler Review: This world was interesting but I think that as she tried to bring a paranormal/fantasy element to this short story it didn't work out quite that well. I still really enjoyed this story
