Thank you for joining in and making this second year of Short Story September such a success! In total, 25 bloggers contributed 73 posts, including planning posts and book lists plus reviews that together covered 35 individual stories and 42 whole collections (and a bonus biography of a short story writer).

If you want to take a look back at the link parties, they are here and here.

The only author covered more than once this year was W. Somerset Maugham (but I’m working on a catch-up review of a second Celia Fremlin collection!).

As always, I bit off much more than I could chew and I’m still making my way through a number of collections and single stories. For my benefit, if no one else’s, the link party will stay open (and the opening post pinned on my site) through 6 October. I’ll come back and update the final statistics as well.
