♥ The Book Shelf ♥ {A Short Story Collection} So I've decided to bunch all my short stories together instead of posting them all individually. Some of the stories are longer than others and as much as I'd love to expand on them all and make them novels, some stories are meant to be short but sweet :) However, you will notice that the lead characters of one story will appear in others, so you'll see how their story continues that way. I hope you enjoy my book shelf of short stories. Each are different and unique in their own right so please check them out, give me feedback and PLEASE vote. *** Short Story #15 / ChickLit #13
