They tend to be open ended, which I hate, lol These were too but I didn't feel cheated - they closed at just the right spot. <br /><br />I'm a huge fan of novellas right now. They've improved drastically over the years.

Thanks for sharing. I love that you're trying to find diverse bloggers to read and review some of the ARCs you receive. It's a great way to spread the word - and you know, #ownvoices and all that.

I'm so glad you enjoyed them both Karen and so incredibly generous that you want to pass them along. I checked out the book wish tag and it's such a lovely idea. I've had a few random people inbox me that neither or us follow one another, copying and pasting long wishlists and asking me to purchase them a book. It's awkward as I'm not in a financial position where I can help others. Fingers crossed you'll find someone who'll love and cherish a few of those titles. I love the diverse direction publishing is now taking, it's refreshing to see our wider communities are receiving representation. Onwwards and upwards from here!Diva Booknerdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17808412083567644984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047843651411739466.post-53015366951979364662018-08-06T18:16:19.321-04:002018-08-06T18:16:19.321-04:00Fresh Ink has been on my TBR for a while, but the ...Fresh Ink has been on my TBR for a while, but the other I hadn't heard of before.

It has always cost more but I was still able to ship large packages of books for about $20 several years ago and did it all the time. I'm sure international bloggers are the ones that could benefit from this the most too. <br /><br />Anthologies aren't my thing either but Fresh Ink especially was a good one.
