Way back in December I entered this reading challenge. When I updated it, I found that for some reason I didn’t have the orginal post but I had this copy. So I’m posting it now.

I have decided to enter yet another Reading Challenge. This is is called “100 Shots of Short” and it is geared to short stories. There is no time period and the rules are very flexible. I don’t have a predetermined list so I’ll list them as I read them.
