Sel...Here are a few more opinions from Facebook...<br /><br />Selah Janel: it depends. I read shorts mostly in anthologies or collections by authors I love but I'm likely to get into them if an author can get me interested in them. Otherwise if I'm walking around looking for a new title to pick up I'll usually gravitate to novels.<br /><br />Tasha Turner: Depends both work for me<br /><br />Ian Walkley: I can't get into short stories, no matter how hard I try.Savannah Raynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08271192736994476452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1183292998812556755.post-15957538222031433902012-04-15T08:52:39.915-05:002012-04-15T08:52:39.915-05:00It looks like it really depends on a lot of circum...It looks like it really depends on a lot of circumstances <br />Most seem to like both! <br /><br />Thanks you for your input, Robin, Hellfire and A.D.!

I do like them still on the short side,so Novella is prefered. I love series books because you get to hang out with the characters a little more longer. I think this is why I write them. I read alot of series books in my teenage days (Nancy Drew Case files/ Fear Street) I do not mind if each book to that series isn't thick. If it's a great story then I am happy. I would think other readers feel this way too. I hope this helped you :0)A.D.

And to me...if someone can tell a really great tale in a short read then they are just as good as those that it takes a full length to do the same thing. Number one example: Alfred Hitchcock!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15027562114711158045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1183292998812556755.post-3379835217476417152012-04-14T12:59:52.134-05:002012-04-14T12:59:52.134-05:00These comments were left on Facebook, but thought ...These comments were left on Facebook, but thought you might like to see their opinions as well!<br /><br />Darren Sant: It's not cast in stone for me. I like a good novel but get a real buzz from short fiction sometimes. I have anthology fatigue at the moment so enjoying the novels.<br /><br /><br />Edward McKeown: Novels for me.

Unfortunately; with short stories I have a hard time writing the review because I don't want to spoil the book by putting to much information in the review.

But, I also love the convenience of getting a good book to read with a simple "click". And like Patrick, my mood as well as time, plays a big part in what I choose to read. Guess the jury is still out on this one!<br /><br />Keep those comments coming!Savannah Raynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08271192736994476452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1183292998812556755.post-76525083216842292712012-04-14T12:34:45.290-05:002012-04-14T12:34:45.290-05:00I would rather read a novel but lately I've be...I would rather read a novel but lately I've been reading a lot of short stories since I started buying e-books. Short stories are great when you're short on time but want a good read. Like you, I traditionally love to read a paperback because I love the feel and smell of books. (I know, that probably sounds weird.) The thing I find with short stories is I usually wish it was longer lol. I love when an author has a series of books because I like getting involved in the characters and seeing where life takes them. I guess that means I like really, really long stories! :) Great post!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04357850791676886486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1183292998812556755.post-11305726011363220742012-04-14T10:21:30.498-05:002012-04-14T10:21:30.498-05:00Great subject, Savannah.

Not a real huge fan of short stories because if it's a great story, I don't want it to end. However, if I am wanting to just pass by a bit of time, I prefer a short one. I say Novel or maybe even a novella. Good luck!Patrick Royalhttp://roypatten.webs.comnoreply@blogger.com
