All of the books in the Wayward Children series by Seanan McGuire. They are all under 200 pages, but they are beautiful examples of lyrical prose combined with gripping story lines and well worth your consideration!

I wish there were an option for doing it by page count instead of number of books."On the stats page you can see page numbers and I'm trying to go by that this year. But I agree, I wish they would offer it as a Challenge option because I tend to opt for shorter books just to reach my goal.
About to make my Challenge. Some books I love these days are longer or really too short to count (The Little Blue Truck I read to my grandson). Wish readers could toggle between total books and page #s. But then, how to calculate Kindle book %s with the pages? I'm sure there's a way. . .
I have never completed my book challenge but this year I am so near. This list and comments has actually pushed me to read things a little bit out of my normal choice. Agatha Christie's And then there was none was my first but will not be my last Agatha Christie book. Now, I am enjoying Roald Dahl's Rhyme Stew, which is just over 100 pages but such fun to read. Thanks for all the suggestions in the comments.
We're only a few days away, and I wasn't sure I was going to make it...BUT, I grabbed my son's old copy of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. It's only 54 pages, and it's a classic!! I am going to make it this year!!
