Reviews
Mixed Bag
Janelle
Some of the stories and narrators in this book were terrific. However I skipped over a few articles that either weren't interesting to me or the narrators weren't to my taste. Overall I enjoyed it and look forward to reading more in this series.
Some funny stories, some not so much
