|title=A Fanfare of Tales
|author=Patrick C Reidy
|rating=4
|genre=Short Stories
|summary=I love short stories, so I'm always happy when a new collection arrives for review. ''A Fanfare of Tales'' by Patrick C Reidy promises me ''a compilation of short stories that highlight the adventures of diverse characters as each encounters unforeseen challenges''. I like this premise. So how does the book shape up?

|author=Peter O'Donnell and Enric Badia Romero
|summary=Put yourself, if necessary, in the mind of someone wanting to publish their first collection of short stories. What do you choose as the contents – besides just saying the best available? Do you try and find a theme, or connecting happenstance or style, to pin them together? Are they based on you now, someone else somewhen else, or all the diverse people and places you have once met? Joannah Yacoub seems to have gone for the latter.

|author=Eoin Colfer (editor)
|title=Once Upon a Place
|rating=3.5
|genre=Confident Readers
|summary=You know the bit of the blurb on every ''Artemis Fowl'' book, where Eoin Colfer had it said about how you pronounce his name? That wasn't the intention of an up-and-coming author to be recognisable; rather, it was pride. Pride in the difference of it, of the Irishness of it. Ireland, it seems to me, is more full than usual of people, things and ideas, and places that are different by dint of their singular nationality – and so many deserve to have pride attached to them. The places might not be the famous ones, but they can be the source of pride, and of stories, which is where this compilation of short works for the young comes in, with the authors invited to select their chosen place and write about it.
