Fairies, Robots and Unicorns?--Oh My! by Sarina Dorie.
A few of her favorite things include: gluten-free brownies (not necessarily glutton-free), Star Trek, steampunk aesthetics, fairies, Severus Snape, Captain Jack Sparrow and Mr. Darcy.
Great read. Good illustrations. 4*.

I was looking forward to this book. But it did not live up to what I was expecting. I was hoping it was going to be more funny or fun. But it was just a simple book.

This was pretty funny, but wasn't exactly my cup of tea.I mean, I love the three things thta are center and the facts that this put it together, when at least one of them doesn't fit is a pretty remarkable things, but IDK, maybe I was expecting something really weird and over the top and that wasn't what delivery

This anthology was a collection of short stories that Sarina Dorie has written. There are quite a few and they are all very well written. I liked them all. I believe I have read a couple of others of her books, too and enjoyed them. This one I did as well. These stories were a bit weird or creepy, but always hilarious. I found it to be fun to read and a good way to relax. Loved it!

This book is great. All of these stories will make you smile at the humor. Very witty. This book is best not read all at once though. I would read a little at a time to get the most enjoyment.

This book was great on all fronts! The cover drew me in and the jacket description is a sure fire hit! The stories themselves were so entertaining you moved quickly onto the next one with no breaks. I laughed out loud on several of them and found myself trying to tell my friends about some of them. I finally just told them READ THE BOOK!!!!

I received an copy of this from the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

I'm going to be perfectly transparent and say that I requested this novel based on the cover. I mean, how awesome is that? I really didn't look at the description at all so I was a bit surprised when it was a bunch of short stories. I normally don't enjoy short stories because I find them all to be a bit disjointed however I really enjoyed these. The author seems to have a natural flow and she uses similar content and writing styles. It all just works. My favourite story was about the toilet fairy; that was hilarious.

I would definitely recommend this for anyone who is a fan of the wild and zany. This will put a smile on anyone's face. I

Sadly, this one wasn't for me. I really enjoyed the first story, 'Speed Dating Books' but felt a little lost after that.

The writing was well-paced and witty but it just didn't capture my interest.

Great collection of short stories by a great writer

I am a big fan of Sarina Dorie and her “Womby's School for Wayward Witches” series, so I was delighted to be able to obtain an advance reader copy for review purposes via Netgalley. This collection of short stories did not disappoint. They have the same well-paced fun to them as the Womby books. The stories were very short, so I fell into the “just one more” mode of reading and before I knew it, the book was done. My only criticism of the book is that it could have been longer with more stories. I recommend this book for fans of the genre and especially for Sarina Dorie fans.

A collection of short stories that are easily read and humorous. These stories require an open mind. Good for when you just have a few minutes

A collection of short stories that are easily read and humorous. These stories require an open and imaginative mind to embrace the predicaments readers find. As they are short, it would be easy to stop at just a couple and return later. Or would it? I sure couldn’t. I read this ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you NetGalley and Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America for this DRC.

This collection of stories was weird, sometimes creepy and completely hilarious!
As much as I wanted to furiously consume these stories all at once, I found myself saving them for days when I needed a good giggle.
I highly recommend this to anyone who needs a strange and entertaining escape from the everyday!
