Can you recommend some interesting summer short stories?

Sure. One short summer story could be about a girl who finds a mysterious seashell on the beach during summer vacation. She takes it home and every night it seems to glow softly, filling her room with a warm, magical light. Eventually, she realizes it has a connection to an old mermaid legend in the area.

One 'After Summer' short story could be about a young girl who has to say goodbye to her friends at the end of a summer vacation. She reflects on all the fun times they had, like swimming in the lake and having picnics. It shows her growth and how she is learning to deal with change.

My sister got a short bob haircut last summer. It was because she was going on a long vacation to a really hot place. The short bob was very practical. She could just wash it quickly in the morning and it would dry fast. And she looked so stylish with it. People often asked her where she got her haircut done.

Unfortunately, without detailed knowledge of the Goodreads Summer 2018 short stories, I can't give a proper recommendation. However, it's likely that there were some short stories with strong emotional cores, whether it was about friendship, loss, or hope. These types of stories often resonate with readers.

Sure. One short interesting story is 'The Tortoise and the Hare'. The hare was so confident in his speed that he took a nap during the race, while the slow but steady tortoise just kept going and won the race. It teaches us the value of perseverance.

Sure. Here is a short and interesting story. Once upon a time, a little boy found a magic key. When he turned it in an old lock of a mysterious door in his attic, he was transported to a world full of talking animals. They welcomed him and showed him their beautiful forest filled with glowing plants and trees that could sing. It was an adventure he would never forget.

Sure. 'The Gift of the Magi' by O. Henry is a great one. It tells the story of a young couple who are very poor but deeply in love. They each sacrifice their most precious possession to buy a gift for the other, which shows the selfless love between them.

Sure. 'The Yellow Wallpaper' is an interesting it short story. It shows the mental decline of a woman in a very engaging way. The descriptions in the story are vivid and it makes readers think about the situation of women in that era.

Yes. There's 'The Monkey's Paw' by W.W. Jacobs. This story is quite interesting as it shows the consequences of interfering with fate. A family gets a monkey's paw that can grant three wishes, but every wish comes with a horrible price. Also, 'A Sound of Thunder' by Ray Bradbury. In this short story, time travel is involved and a small change in the past has a huge impact on the present.

For exciting and short novels, I recommend the following two: " Raising an Immortal Child Bride " was a story about a big sister in the demon world who accidentally angered a small immortal in the immortal world. As a result, after reincarnation, she became a thin, small, and ugly child bride, but she fought back with perseverance. The novel was not too long, but the male and female protagonists and supporting characters had their own personalities. The plot was full of ups and downs, especially the female protagonist who never gave in despite being in adversity. Her personality and thinking were very unique, and it was very worth reading. " My Magic Is Special ": The plot of this novel is light and humorous. The protagonist learns magic and applies it to his life to make his life better. Although it was not very long, it was very interesting.
