THERE'S SO MANY OPTIONS HERE I AM AMAZED AND DELIGHTEDDD đđ
I'm a connoisseur of short reads. They (and the free short stories from Tor.com â now called reactormag.com) helped me get back back into reading after a reeeealy long slump. And I'm still 'collecting' them. My ADD brain appreciates newness, and thanks to reading them in between, I can also read more longer works and series.
This list is already long, but I'll probably be adding to it.
i also love the newness a short read can bring between longer books, i totally get it! đ€©
this list is amazing! looking forward to using it to inspire my TBR for next year đ«¶
