But there are some authors who can pack that emotional punch into a novella too so I look for the collections they are in. But I'd rather it be no more than three or four authors. Not a fan of the really big collections. <br /><br />Mind you, Christmas is the one time I really do enjoy a good novella. I'm used to reading a Christmas story each night before Christmas -- so why not read a novella?Kavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03719229222267994577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7469808576364463281.post-86615586234764322182016-09-16T08:49:28.642-04:002016-09-16T08:49:28.642-04:00Bwahahahahaha!

Novellas aren't my favorite, because I love lots of depth and details. Granted, I have read some Christmas stand-alones and novellas that I thoroughly enjoyed, it's just that I don't purposefully seek them out. If they are part of a series that I have read or are reading, it can be enjoyable to revisit the setting and favorite characters.
