Patricia did it again! She has another fabulous collection of stories told in exactly 200 words! I read A Quick Bite and loved every single story. They were all unique and fun. I have A Quick Spell on my Kindle right now and can't wait to begin. I think I'll set aside my current read so I can get to it right now. :)
