Another fan of The Buddha in the Attic. Otsuka’s later The Swimmers is also excellent.

Also love Last Night at the Lobster by Stuart O’Nan. You can read it in a day.

This book is soooooo good.

It’s available so I will get it, thanks!
OP

Janet Evanovich has written a few stand alone silly romcoms that are pretty short.
250 to 300 pages.

By Sarah Anderson?? That’s 400 pages. Small things like these sounded good but not available on Libby.

No, none are by Sarah Anderson. Depending on your library they may be available as audiobook.

Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes is a great book and a pretty quick read. Although the page count is longer (somewhere between 228 and 311 pages depending on publication type), it’s written in a diary format so some of that is spacing between days.

I have two days left on vacation and I finished my other two books much faster than anticipated. I have two at home waiting for me which I’m so excited to start. What are some good short books, like less than 200 pages? I’ll have to download it from the Libby.

Thanks!
