Head, Scales, Tongue, Tale by Leigh Bardugo5 starsThis anthology kicks off perfectly with a nice small town romance revolving around the hunt for a mythical lake creature.

I ended up really liking this! This book sounds like a book full of cute summer stories, but because of some reviews I already knew before I started that it was not the case. The only common factor for these stories is that they take place in the summer. But in the first stories, there was a bit too much I didn't liked at each story. Not just the not-summery-fluffy-plotline, but also writing I didn't really liked. Every story I read, really disappointed me. Every story. And that is quite a bad t...

This was a great collection. It's so many things: diverse, creative, funny and sad. That's actually what surprised me most of all: overall, this was a very melancholy, bittersweet collection, especially when compared to the mostly fun and feel-good My True Love Gave to Me: Twelve Holiday Stories. The cover makes it look very cutesy, but it tackles a lot of important issues. "Head, Scales, Tongue, Tail" by Leigh Bardugo - 4.5/5This was such a great place to start. Bardugo writes some of the best

This was a collection of short stories by various authors about summertime. Some of them I really enjoyed. Lots of carnivals, if that’s your thing! Most had happy endings, although a few were sad. Overall entertaining. I really need to read Leigh Bardugo! Ah the to-read list that just grows and grows!Please excuse typos/name misspellings. Entered on screen reader.

Summer Days & Summer Nights includes twelve small stories that come together to be far greater than the sum of their parts. Rating for each of the stories:(From here on this review will contain spoilers.)Head, Scales, Tongue, Tale by Leigh Bardugo- 4/5 stars“There are monsters everywhere, tsigele,” she said. “It’s always good to know their names.” It starts with Bardugo’s short story, which I was super excited for. I STILL think about Kaz from Six of Crows, so this tale made me even more giddy f...

Summer Days & Summer Nights is one beautifully diverse collection, and I just want to bow to Stephanie Perkins and all the other amazing authors who contributed to this anthology. All the stories in here just break all the traditional conventions for YA, along with some really nontraditional stories that wouldn't have made it as a book. It has LGBT couples and and mental health and mental conditions like autism and relationships that don't end with a happily ever after. It's an amazing collectio...

Head, Scales, Tongue, Tail by Leigh BardugoOverall a very nicely worked summer story with elements of fantasy among the mundane. A little too many characters in the beginning...short stories need to be snappy and though this got my attention quickly I had to read back to clarify certain aspects of the character in the story "prologue" / background setup. Once the main story between Gracie and Eli started I was hooked though. It was a little predictable but feather light and with enough bitterswe...

Really expected more from this...Video review coming soon!

The first half of this book had me wanting to DNF it because I did not enjoy so many of the stories. But the second half hit its stride and delivered what I wanted. The range of diversity in the stories was amazing!My favorites: Inertia, A Thousand Ways This Could All Go Wrong, The Map of Tiny Perfect ThingsMy least favorite: Sick PleasureOverall rating: 4 starsHead, Scales, Tongue, Tailby Leigh BardugoGenre: SupernaturalSummary: Two teens meet every summer to search for their town's version of

I'm enjoyed 2-3 stories. Otherwise, very meh. I wanted to like it though! :(

June book club book is finally finished! Whew!The best stories in the book in my opinion were "Last Stand at the Cinegore", "Brand New Attraction", "A Thousand Ways This Could All Go Wrong" and "The Map of Tiny Perfect Things". If it was not for these four stories, I would rate this book 2 stars. But because of these stories, I'll give it another star because they saved the book for me.I just realized out of the four stories that I liked the most, two were fantasy/horror related, one was sci-fi

once upon a time, i read a collection of (silly, summery, teenage) short stories, and NOT ONLY TOOK NOTES ON THEM, but wrote up a synopsis, a review, and a rating for each one, and combined them all into a blog post.imagining doing something like that now is akin to imagining myself traveling to the moon, or running a marathon. (which in turn is as absurd as running down the block.)i didn't even like the book!part of a series i'm doing in which i review books i read a long time ago

For Readathon-2017: 33/52In the category "Short stories anthology"Overall rating 3,5/5 stars. This anthology couldn’t be more summer-y unless it came as a package deal with this: I don’t know what I expected when I started this anthology – maybe the same old story of boy-meets-girl multiplied by 12 – but what I got was a very rich sundae, multi-flavored and with various toppings. I loved the diversity of the stories, how some of them left me with a smile on my face and some with a bitter tast...

Summer Days & Summer Nights is the first anthology I’ve ever read. I didn’t know what to expect, all I know is I’m not a short-story person. Fortunately, it turned out better than what I anticipated it to be. For me, it’s split into three categories. There are four stories that struck me, and gripped me, followed by four stories that are ordinary, but doable, while the remaining four stories doesn’t belong to this collection. Head, Scales, Tongue, Tale by Leigh Bardugo – 3 stars This has the

3.5* This collection included a few gorgeous gems of stories which I utterly loved but on the whole I didn't enjoy this short story collection quite as much as I did the winter edition, 'My True Love Gave To Me'. As I did with 'My True Love Gave To Me', I haven given each story its own individual rating and mini review! 3/5* 'Head, Scales, Tongue, Tail by Leigh Bardugo'. This was so bizarre but also kind of lovely. This was a summer romance over numerous years with an element of magical realism

The main reason I picked this book up was because I heard that Stephanie Perkins In Ninety Minutes, Turn North story had the same characters as her It's A Yuletide Miracle, Charlie Brown from My True Love Gave to Me: Twelve Holiday Stories. So of course I read hers first! Because if you recall... "Seriously Stephanie Perkins! You just had to do this to me! I am melting! I am mush! I need more from these characters! Please Stephanie give me more!"Head, Scales, Tongue, Tail by Leigh Bardugo2 Stars...

2.5/5 stars.

Yes im wasting more precious time where I could be reading BRAND NEW books that I never experienced before instead of rereading an anthology but oh well :)))))) its summer, you cant stop me Head Scales Tongue Tail by Leigh Bardugo - upon my reread, I didn’t ADORE this one like the first time, but still a great story- it was fun and weird and had so many summery vibes, I enjoyed it- I appreciated the characters too eli and grace were 👌- 3.5 stars The End of Love by Nina Lacour - this was r...

Summer Days & Summer Nights is a YA anthology of twelve summer romances by twelve different authors including Leigh Bardugo, Stephanie Perkins and Cassandra Clare. To be honest, I picked up this book because I was in a bad reading slump and I was desperate to get myself out of it. I hate being in reading slumps! Anyway, this book wasn’t the perfect remedy or anything, but it did help. Some of the stories were really lovely to read, but some just made me go “WTF?” I’ll be elaborating in my review...
