2023 Q1 10 - A book less than 230 pages long

[Nadine in NY]

A book less than 230 pages long (I'm keeping it between 130-230 pages, just to keep my options down to a reasonable amount, but you all can do whatever!!)

There are A LOT of good short books!! Between this one and the title starting with W, I could be happily reading all year just from these two lists.

The Cat Who Saved Books is the January 2023 selection for one of my IRL book clubs! Perfect at 198 pages!

Although it is technically 5 pages too long, at 235 pages, I added The Cellist of Sarajevo anyway. It is such an amazing work, IMO! Detailing the daily lives of people under siege/at war.

Ooohhh...Between the World and Me is absolutely excellent! I especially appreciate Coates' theory that there is no one with truly "white" skin and by using that term, a dichotomy is immediately established, when in fact, all humans are either lighter-skinned or darker-skinned, but not either "BLACK" or "WHITE"! I'm trying to incorporate that wording into my vocabulary and eliminate those two words when describing people.

This should be easy. My average reading material is 320 pgs give or take. I'll look to see which books I already have and go from there.

What Moves the Dead by T. Kingfisher⭐⭐⭐

[Cornerofmadness]

The Keeper's Six by Kate Elliott was one I read for this. It was an interesting fantasy novella in a world I'd like to see more of. Also The Ballad of Black Tom by Victor LaValle would also work for this and was also a very good read

I read A Duty of Care: Britain Before and After Covid by Peter Hennessy, which has 224 pages of text. Interesting on the post-war consensus on tackling what were seen as the major problems then (ignorance, want, disease, squalor, unemployment) and on how various governments have managed this (or not) up to the 2000s. He has hope for tackling many social problems, but I think is rather over hopeful at present - we will need a different government for a start....

I went with the second book in Alix Harrow's Fractured Fables, A Mirror Mended. Both books in the series would work for this.
