Read The Crystal Cave by Mary Stewart. I have read this novel several times before, but right now I needed an old friend and it was the perfect pick.

1. What are you reading for this category?I read
2. How many pages is it?
444 pages
3. Do you normally read books that are this length?
Most of the books I read tend to fall between 300-400 pages, but I still read quite a few longer ones so I didn't have to look very hard for this.
I'm going to read The Bone Labyrinth by James Rollins.It's 462 pages.
Personally, the longer the book and the more books per series the better.
1)Crazy Rich Asians by Kevin Kwan2)403
3)I'd say I normally read in the 300-600 range. If I veer out of that range it's usually higher. I'm left unsatisfied with shorter books; always thinking to myself it could have used at least one more chapter.

3. Do you normally read books that are this length?
I guess so. This year I've been rereading The Princess Diaries series so my average page count is lower than usual but longer books aren't really a deterrent for me.
This week's pick is Berta Isla by Javier Marías. In the past few years, he's become one of my favorite authors. Even though their styles and settings are wildly divergent, Marías' thoughtful, plodding way of telling a story reminds me a lot of Murakami. Both authors always feature strong female characters, which I love and the title character in this one, Marías' latest, is no different. I also love reading about Madrid, so I really get into JM's novels. Typically books of 300+ pages are my forté and this one clocks in at 497 pages.

I would say the majority of books I pick up are somewhere between 300-400 pages, but page count doesn't tend to influence my reading preferences too much. I've read quite a few books over 400 pages as well as many that were under 300.
