Review: I loved reading this book. Each story only takes a few minutes to complete and makes for great bedtime reading. Some of them I remember hearing on the podcast but there are plenty of new stories as well. The podcast also has many stories that are not in this book so I highly suggest you subscribe to it. It's free after all.
Review: Good book
