Use Your Imagination! by Kris Bertin is a collection of short stories about identity, perspective and narration.

While not a fan of the cover or title, I did find the contents more than compensated for any minor disappointments in that regard. Quite a few gems within this collection that compliment Bertin's direct and readable style very well. Even the stories that didn't quite hit the mark with me were well written.

With thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for the ARC.

I was pulled in by the description for this book, but was not a fan of the cover! Thankfully I didn't let the cover keep me from reading this collection of stories. I do love a good cover though, but because the book was published by Nimbus Publishing I couldn't let it go by.
Recent discussions with patrons at the bookstore where I work have centered around how we become who we are through the stories we tell and the stories told about us. We wondered how much we are influenced by how others see us and how that changes as we get older.
This book crossed my path at just the right time. I love it when a book does that!
This collection of short stories, by award winning author Kris Bertin, gave me lots to talk about with customers and I have gladly recommended to short story lovers.
I thoroughly enjoyed most of the stories. Only one left me flat.

This was a great collection of short stories. There were one or two that were not as good as the others, but that is to be expected with a collection of short stories. Overall, this was an enjoyable and quick read!

I received an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. Thank you NetGalley.

i wish the book was available as a kindle book, rather than protected pdf. but that's not necessarily the author's thought.

the stories were interesting.. some fell short for me, but others were great.

Kris is very talented. I blew thru this, but found it uneven (which is probably my issue, not the author's). The stories are creative, well-crafted, and interesting. I didn't connect with all of them, but that doesn't take away from the obvious skill used to write them.

I really appreciate the ARC for review!

BTW, I'm not a fan of the protected PDF format, which I find to be clunky. Although, I understand the value of it from a publisher and author standpoint. Please consider mobi in the future.
