IMAGINES: Celebrity Encounters Starring You by Anna Todd + More

I don’t know if fanfiction is new or if it’s been around for a while because it’s never been on my radar. I’ve never been a fan of celebrity stuff mainly because I don’t watch a lot of television or go to the movies. However, I was able to review this new anthology that contains a collection of short stories of fanfiction about multiple celebrities. It seemed like a cool idea for readers that love that. Check out the new release:

My Thoughts on Imagines

I learned about author Anna Todd over the past couple years with her YA collection, the After series. I actually read the whole series and was made crazy by her. So I figured that this would be a cool book to check out as she has a chapter in here as well.

Loaded with over 600 pages and at least 25+ different authors, this is an interesting collection of stories that range in length, all having to do with the imagination of the author as they were as if they were involved with a celebrity in some manner.

There’s one thing that I am not sucked in by and that’s young adult books, probably due to my age. This book is dedicated really towards that genre and age group. While many of the stories I read were well written and well thought out, I was not overly enthused with some of the stories.

While this book would be great for the teens and twenty-somethings, it just wasn’t something that I got engaged with.
