I am posting one book per day from my extensive, and ever growing, TBR shelves. Some are new and some I've had for several years, not sure why I bought them in the first place.

If I read a collection of short stories, it‘s one story between other books, so it usually takes me a year to read collections. By the end I forget which stories I liked best. None of these stories were especially memorable. The last story was nice, had a gay male protagonist, yay representation. The Holly Black one was good too. Word to authors: urban fantasy is fantasy elements in urban settings, not stories set in fantasy-world cities.

I am posting one book per day from my to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new - don‘t judge me I have a lot of books.
Join the fun if you want. This is day 327.

NAKED CITY edited by Ellen Datlow is an anthology of urban fantasy and horror. Despite featuring some solid stories, I ultimately found it disappointing--particularly due to the lack of variety in its cities.
