    Just wondering... I'd like to choose Anthony Trollope's Christmas stories for the short stories but the book only has 6 stories. Still it's over 200 pages, http://www.amazon.com/Christmas-Thompson-Hall-Stories-Classics/dp/0143122479/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1452711621&sr=1-1&keywords=trollope+christmas+stories. Might this book work in the challenge? I hope! Thanks!

      The book has to contain at least eight stories to count. There are other books of Trollope's short stories that include eight or more stories, so I suggest you look for one of those if you want to read Trollope for this category.

    Finished "A Good Man is Hard to Find" for this category. These were tough stories. I also found out short stories are not really my thing. :)

    I picked up "Tea with Mr. Rochester" thinking it was a novel that would fit tidily in my bag on a trip. As soon as I read the first story, "Violet", I was hooked so Edith Wharton's "New York Stories" were postponed for now and this fascinating book took its place.

    I read Just So Stories by Rudyard Kipling for the first time, and it is absolutely purely whimsical!!!
