Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish which has now found a lovely new home at That Artsy Reader Girl. This week the prompt is to share 10 of our favourite short stories or novellas. I don’t read a huge number of short stories but I’ve included some great anthologies which have some really excellent stories. There are also one or two novellas I’ve enjoyed.
I’ve love to have some recommendations for short stories or anthologies.
What is your favourite novella or short story?
Have you read any of these? Which was your favourite?
Follow me on Twitter, Instagram, Bloglovin’ or Goodreads. Comments are always warmly welcome.

I haven’t read any of these, but Language of Thorns is on my TBR.
I’d highly recommend the Binti series by Nnedi Okorafor!

Love your choices! Especially Very Good Lives and The Grown Up! You featured a lot of titles I haven’t seen on other lists and a few that are going to be added to my TBR! I couldn’t come up with 10 that I adored so I ditched the topic for my celebrity autobiography recs. Feel free to check out something totally different this TTT here: http://nerdnarrationblog.wordpress.com/2018/07/17/top-ten-tuesday-cat-edition-trust-me-its-not-what-youre-thinking/

I saw Make More Noise in a bookshop recently and almost bough it–but I still really want to read it! I definitely have to read more short stories and anthologies…

I find that most anthologies are hit and miss but there were definitely more stories in Make More Noise that I enjoyed than didn’t.

Some stories from Make More Noise and A Change is Gonna Come featured on my list today- I preferred Change overall as there were only a couple of stories I didn’t like and I loved most, but Make More Noise was really enjoyable too 😊
