But authors seem to be getting wordier and wordier, or what sells seems to be able to get longer and longer or SOMETHING! Because now I rarely find a book under 400 pages on my TBR and a few hit between 700-900 pages. Yikes!

It's tricky finding a really satisfying book under 300 pages, so, bravo! The Assistants has been on my TBR, so I am glad that it is both short and satisfying.

Good Morning, Midnight and When the English Fall both have been ones I've been interested in, though I didn't realize they were so short so that's neat! Security was a pretty fun (and definitely quick) read, also. Someone else mentioned Murakami's Sputnik Sweetheart and I absolutely second that! He has a few short ones (South of the Border, West of the Sun) that are pretty short as well. Kanae Minato's Penance is also a really quick thriller type of read that I'd recommend as well.Jordan @ForeverLostinLiteraturehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15231807884697678173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6130637022613050517.post-18380097131537643412018-05-15T14:35:23.083-04:002018-05-15T14:35:23.083-04:00Thank you, I will have to check those out!Thank you, I will have to check those out!Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16746631124966726182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6130637022613050517.post-58093122846035321262018-05-15T10:46:55.976-04:002018-05-15T10:46:55.976-04:00you got me curious with Good Morning, Midnight.. a...you got me curious with Good Morning, Midnight.. awesome list!<br />Some of my fave below 300 pages book are Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer and Sputnik Sweetheart by Haruki Murakami.
