I only read calligraphy and wasn't over wowed. The stories were sweet but nothing special. The only one I loved was the one about the boy in yeshiva and the new Maggie shiur.

Agreed. I was not impressed with calligraphy this year.

I really liked the historical fiction one. About the boy taken as a Cantonist.
Made me cry and think.

Last couple of years have been pretty meh. Maybe I feel too intelligent for such shallow plots. But the Ami really pulled off decent this chag. The story from house in fleishmans really gave the readers a lot of fuzzy feelings from family to disconnection to connection again. Was very relatable and real. I felt like they portrayed a lot without having things said. The way the mother remarried. The relationship she had in the first marriage… oh and the ex wife’s care ride! My gosh! 🤔 someone’s horror based on a true story with ‘names have been changed’ .

The child of holocaust survivors who so badly wanted to have a better marriage than his parents and just didn't know how.
I really liked that story.

I also liked the one with the house in Fleishmanns. Made me tear up.
Family relationships can be so complicated and powerful.

I have no opinion on the quality of all the supplement stories. I'm not the best writer myself.
I used to be a total bookworm but since having kids and raising a family my reading time has been severely restricted. So I don't get to read much and can't compare it to much else.
The few minutes I did have time to read this yomtov I enjoyed it. Didn't get through everything yet.
