My 2 Cents

The title isn’t kidding you. It is actually packed with half minute fictions for you to read and all of them are awesome-ly (Yes it’s that word again, don’t just just miss me?) dark. I love it. Every single page of it. The chicken one was my favorite, cause it’s just evil! *snickers* It comes with what's under your bed, what's hiding in the closet, to yes... chicken vs egg theory. It's quite cute and good for a quick read here and there.

I forgot who actually told me about this book in the middle of extremely busy, bookless weeks (not actually that bookless, since I actually have books coming my way keeping it’s schedule) but whoever it was, thank you! I honestly enjoy reading this one and I’m putting this up in one with the great books to read for reluctant readers, or if you were trying to get a reading fix in your hectic schedule.
