Review of To Slay a Goblin by Dylan Curry (974 words) Flash Fiction Online, October 2023 : Purchase or Read Online   A funny, unique take on a fantasy-style adventurer, doing some good ol’ adventuring. The sharp, sudden emotion makes this story so layered. A great example of how flash fiction can be such a wonderful format.        Support us on Ko-fi -  https://ko-fi.com/ohjustbooks

Review of Little Pound Shop by Rebecca Harrison (979 words) Flash Fiction Online, December 2023 : Purchase or Read Online A lovely magical story. I would have enjoyed a longer version as well, maybe some more detail about the enchantments in the shop! That’s just me enjoying stories about enchanted objects though - this story in itself was a treat to read. This one is what short and sweet is all about!    Support us on Ko-fi -  https://ko-fi.com/ohjustbooks

Review of They Could Have Been Yours by Joy Baglio (6982 words) Apex Magazine, Issue 136 : Purchase or Read Online   A woman scrolls on a Site, and all her exes seem to be getting engaged within a few days of each other. She feels self doubt creep in, and then she finds a ring. When she puts it on, she can visit all the women her exes are engaged to. The more she gets involved in her disembodied travels, the more her real life is affected. Interesting to watch it unfold. The prose was beautiful. The ending is beautifully poignant.   Support us on Ko-fi -  https://ko-fi.com/ohjustbooks
