Anthologies! Sometimes I like to start my posts by just shouting the thing they're about. Easier than thinking of good intros. So anyway, I have a bunch of anthologies (and one collection) I reviewed elsewhere years ago but never posted here. Both normal and graphic novels. To be honest, most of these were not really for me.

Lately I've been trying to devote full review posts, which take more time and energy, to books I really like. So for this quick reviews post, I've got a bunch of books I did not like and rated lower than 3 stars. We can't like every book, right?
