February Short Story Recommendations

How's that reading resolution going? Fear not, here is another group of short stories to help you sprinkle some reading back into your schedule. I was asked to do one blurb about the stories at the beginning, as opposed to the individual comments from last time. (If you have a preference, let me know).

February's selection includes a couple of my standard favorites as well as a handful of stories that elicited some sort of strong emotional response. I'll leave it at that, and if you, too, react strongly to some of these stories please don't hesitate to leave a comment below or send me a message at carrianne@carriannedillon.com. Enjoy!
