Novella November Wrap Up

I didn't have a chance to post this week until today but I did have a chance to read two more novellas before November officially ended on Monday.  I quite enjoyed this month of short novels.  I felt like I caught up on my reading goal a bit and I was able to experience some really wonderful stories that I may not otherwise have had the opportunity to read.  So, my final two novellas were...

 

The first one, Ninja at first Sight, is part of the Knitting in the City series which I love.  It was a quick fun read about how two of the characters in the series first met back in college and sets us up for their full story which comes out in 2016.  I think I smiled throughout almost all of the story, except for when Fiona's mother was around, when I cringed instead.  I would have liked the book to continue.  It could have easily been a full length novel.

The second and last novella of the month was an old favorite that I first read years ago to my class when I taught 4th grade.  Walter, The Story of a Rat, is a story about friendship plain and simple and beautiful.  It is a book that gives you hope, and leaves you with a overwhelming feeling of contentment.  I read it at least once a year and it never loses its appeal.
