Planetbreaker’s Son (Outspoken Authors, 26) by Nick Mamatas
The older I get the less I like short stories, but these weren't too bad. The Term Paper Artist and the interview with the author were my two favorite. The other stories were alright.

Mixed Up: Cocktail Recipes (and Flash Fiction) for… by Nick Mamatas
Fun flash fiction

I liked it, though nothing mind-blowing - some quick flash fiction pieces to read through while drinking any of the cocktails mentioned in them.

The cocktails are all core basics and the recipes seem straightforward; I didn't try to build any so not sure how they actually fare.

I read this to try to start digging into my Kindle TBR backlog.

All You Need Is Kill (All You Need Is Kill: Official… by Hiroshi Sakurazaka
If you didn't know the story, you'd never be able to follow it in this jumbled up adaptation of the hit novel that inspired the not-quite-hit movie. Even if you know the story it's hard to follow here and I found myself disappointed by the flat art and flatter characters. Recommended only for completists.
