Chicken Soup for the Woman's Soul

by various authors
paperback from ?, heading to the donation bag, 328 pages
genre: short stories, inspiration

None of the Chicken Soup books are especially grand, but this one was especially drab. I have a few up at the lake (pet lovers, etc.) and sometimes it's nice to read a short story to wind down to sleeping (not that I get wound up at the lake). Sometimes I even tear up at an especially touching story. But this collection was dull, vapid, . . . there may have been a few stories that engaged me as a reader, but it wasn't worth the mind-numbing pablum that the collection represents. Yuk.
