Kiki Lowenstein Short Stories

The Further Adventures of Kiki Lowenstein: Collections 1,2 and 3: Short Stories that Accompany the Kiki Lowenstein Mystery Serie is a compilation of all the short stories from the Kiki Lowenstein world.  Joanna Campbell Slan has written 42 short stories and novellas that fit into the storyline of the novels.  The compiled book is available on Kindle Unlimited as a compilation of Vol 1, 2, & 3 rather than as the individual books from the different publication dates.  They are nice quick volumes which can be read in short sittings so the book is perfect for taking along while waiting for appointments or children.  I always enjoy reading the capers of Kiki and all the detailed scrapbooking information they contain along with the interesting mysteries.   

For the purposes of my challenges I have decided to count the novellas as individual books in terms of meeting challenge prompts.  That way, if a different novellas cover multiple prompts within a challenge I counted both of the prompts; normally one book one prompt but since this is a huge compilation of novellas and short stories I decided to handle it this way.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

great short stories that tie the different bigger novels together. love reading about Kiki and her family and friends. it is also a nice aspect that Slan includes the social issues within the stories without being too in your face about them.
