My True Love Gave to Me Anthology edited by Stephanie Perkins

I totally forgot this was coming out today since it's all wintery. Also, I was so excited about a new Laini Taylor story that I unwittingly pre-ordered both a digital and paper copy. Oops.

If you haven't heard about it yet, it's a winter holiday themed anthology with a bunch of short stories from YA writers. It has pieces from: 
Laini Taylor
Stephanie Perkins
Rainbow Rowell
Gayle Foreman
Matt de la Pena
Holly Black
Myra McIntyre
Ally Carter
David Levithan
Kelly Link 
Jenny Han
Kiersten White

Did I mention Laini Taylor??? And I'm trying to be spoiler-free, but if you've read all three DoSaB books and look at the cover, you can guess who her story will be about. Eeeep! 

I just discovered it on my Kindle this morning after I finished The Firebird so I know what I'll be reading tonight. Is anyone else planning on checking this out?

  • I went to go beg my library to buy it and saw they already had it! I'm going to wait until winter to read it though.

  • I'm SO sad my library hasn't ordered a copy of this yet. Next time I'm in my branch I'm going to put in a purchase request!

    - Gayle Forman
    "People talk about escapism as if it's a bad thing... Once you've escaped, once you come back, the world is not the same as when you left it. You come back to it with skills, weapons, knowledge you didn't have before. Then you are better equipped to deal with your current reality."
    - Neil Gaiman

  • Gah! Laini Taylor's story is not about who I thought it would be about. =( But once I got over the disappointment of that, it was still just as magical and wonderful as one would expect from her.
