42 - The shortest book (by pages) on your TBR list

[Rachel]

I read The Day the Crayons Quit, which was only 30 pages, and had forgotten I'd added to my TBR

[Ellie]

I read In Sea-Salt Tears which Goodreads tells me is only 24 pages. Easiest prompt ever. Was a lovely, sad story, reminds me I must get back into the October Daye series.

[Harry]

The Fire Next Time by James Baldwin is only 106 pages.

[JessicaMHR]

Excluding all the children's books I read with the Little Man this for me was actually the next book in a series I'm working through. Divorce Horse by Craig Johnson is only 25 pages. I just finished it and surprisingly it still took me 2 days!

This also came up as shortest for me. Looks fun. I love kid's books and after I've read I know a toddler who will really enjoy it.

If someone is looking for inspiration, try The Fifty Year Sword by Mark Z. Danielweski. It's 100 pages and it also has lots of drawings, so it's more like 50. I really enjoyed that one.
I also really liked Fox 8 which is about 53 pages. Be prepared though, there's some sadness in that book.

I read Strung Out: One Last Hot and Other Lies That Nearly Killed Me by Erin Khar for this prompt

[Julia]

188 pages

[Marcella]

The Paper Menagerie by Ken Liu. 32 pages. I hope I make it. ;-)

[Sherri]

I read The Third Man by Graham Greene. 157 pages. 3 stars.

[Patricia]

I have Sisters by Raina Telgemeier... That was the shortest book I read...

[Charlene]

I chose The Boy in the Woods by Scott Thomas. 84 pages, pretty good.

[Stina]

I read A Guidebook to Parasol Duelling: The Brandenburg Variation. 11 pages.

[Heather L]

I read The Willows by Algernon Blackwood for this one. Very creepy!

[Jacqie]

Just read "The Truth About Owls" by Amal El-Mohtar. It was originally published as a short story online, only 10 pages! I really liked it. Now I have to read my longest book, which is over 1000 pages, to even things out.

[Heather]

Forever Wild by KA Tucker was the shortest book on my list. It's #2.5 in the Wild series. It was wonderful, just as I expected. I can't wait for book #3.

[LeahS]

I read All Birds Have Anxiety by Kathy Hoopmann, which was 72 pages long - mostly pictures as well....

I thought it would be helpful for my grandson who is a worrier. Some lovely and funny pictures.

A lot of shorties, indeed. But one I really want to read and that the author kindly asked me to, is KICK ANXIETY'S ASS! 10 TIPS TO STAY SANE IN TIMES OF CRISIS, STRESS, AND ISOLATION: AN EASY GUIDE TO NOT GIVING UP WHILE STAYING AT HOME by Christian Nava.

[Dubhease]

I read The Cask of Amontillado, which is more of a short story at 22 pages. I have never read a Poe story that I didn't like.

[Patricia]

I have I Could Pee On This: And Other Poems By Cats by Francesco Marciuliano. Total of 122 pages.
