The Bookworm Box is proud to present Two More Days, our second anthology installment. Much like the first installment, Two More Days is an exciting and unique listening experience with contributions from several of our charity's featured authors. Each author was given the same first sentence. Where they took that sentence was completely up to them.

Every story is different. No story is related.

The only thing these stories have in common is their starting point. Each author showcased in this anthology was featured in The Bookworm Box in 2020.

Contributing authors: Alessandra Torre, Chanda Hahn, Charleigh Rose, Dominique Laura, Eric R. Asher, Ilsa Madden-Mills, Jennifer Wilson, Jessica Hawkins, Jewel E. Ann, K. Bromberg, Kandi Steiner, Karina Halle, Katie Ashley, Kelsie Stelting, Laurelin Paige, Leia Stone, Lexi Ryan, Lora Richardson, M. Robinson, Marni Mann, Max Monroe, Meagan Brandy, Micalea Smeltzer, Dr. Rebecca Sharp, R.K. Lilley, S.J. West, Tijan, Willow Aster

Pros and cons

Some of the stories were great. Others I had to skip. There’s a lot of sexual deviance throughout the book. A LOT. The narrators were mostly good. I had a hard time listening to the young narrator who was sometimes choppy in her delivery. And it was just hard to hear what sounded like a young voice, narrating sex scenes. I didn’t love the hypernasal narrator either. But there were some really sweet stories if you could get past all the sex scenes. :)

unique stories? as if!

My 1st admission is I went into this completely blind, I had no idea what to expect from this anthology except that every story had the same 1st line and each author had their own creative way with it.

Let me take a step back and praface with I'm usually not into romance, it makes my eyes roll out of my head. sometimes I'm surprised and a romance gets me but usually? um no

Ok, so my 2nd admission is that I skipped through 3 stories, maybe 4? because out of 30 stories at least 75% of them were about the same exact thing... "I love my best friend but I'm afraid to tell them or they're about to get married" blah blah blah. There was a point I almost DNF the entire thing and rating it a 2 because it was so excessive.

Now the good news... there are some genuinely good short stories here. Yes, they may be the minority but they carry the anthology out of the "I just wasted 20 hours of me life" zone. And I'll admit, there were a select few romances that played out really well and Colleen Hoover really pulled it out in the end, Solid finish, Colleen.

It’s hard to keep all the characters straight.

It’s hard to keep all the characters straight. Way too many to keep up with for me.

I couldn't finish it

it started out pretty good. I didnt get past the halfway point. Got pretty juvenile

Could not listen to narrator

The main narrator sounded like one of my kids, young teenage friends. I just couldn’t listen to a sexual story in her voice. Otherwise, the storyline was bland in my opinion.
