I have been reading Le-an's writing for a while. She is one of the bloggers who I have gotten to know through a facebook group. I kept telling her to get published-well she did and asked if I would read it and review it. Of course I said yes. Le-an attempted to send me a pdf copy but my computer would not read it-so I went in and bought the book! I recognized a couple of the short stories from the blog-others were brand new to me. I enjoyed reading them all. English is not Le-an's native tongue and there are quite a few grammatical errors but I was able to overlook them. These short stories tell of every kind of love and/or relationships that happen in life. I enjoyed reading these one at a time--I took my time on this book and let the stories sink into my soul! I love her disclaimer page!

Sounds like a great book. I have been wanting to start my own writing but it seems I am a total mess of ideas that I can't put into one single story. lol. I am glad she has published her book I will definitely check it out.
She is an amazing author and I'll have to pick up her book on Amazon for my kindle. I can't wait to read it myself. A few of those stories I've probably read as well but I long for a full length novel too. :)
