I'll definitely consider giving it a try (maybe closer to Christmas perhaps?), but I think I'll take your advice and stick strictly to Rowell, Perkins, Taylor, and Forman's pieces.

How is that even possible? Anthologies aren't really my thing, or short stories in general. It takes more for me to get really emotionally invested, but with names like these, who could possibly resist? I'll look into this further and try to get a copy asap. I'm really excited about Kiersten White's story.
