A book less than 260 pages


Possibly my favorite prompt! I LOVE short books!

I get to read "mushroom horror" after all, with What Moves the Dead :-)

This is such a great prompt for making myself read more poetry!

[Kenya]

LOTS of novellas and middle-grade books will fit this prompt. And of course children's books, and a lot of older pulp paperbacks (such as sci-fi and Westerns) clock in at less than 200 pages.

[Acidic Quagga]

A lot of The Murderbot Diaries can fit in this category.

Also:
Open Throat by Henry Hoke
Out of the Drowning Deep by A.C. Wise
Blood in the Water by Tiffany D. Jackson
A Psalm for the Wild-Built by Becky Chambers
A Prayer for the Crown-Shy by Becky Chambers
Mi'kmaq Medicines: Remedies and Recollections by Laurie Lacey
The Deep by Rivers Solomon
I'm Afraid of Men. by Vivek Shraya
But Not Too Bold by Hache Pueyo
The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse by Charlie Mackesy
Always Remember: The Boy, the Mole, the Fox, the Horse and the Storm by Charlie Mackesy
Genesis by Bernard Beckett
One Bloody Thing After Another by Joey Comeau

They Bloom at Night by Trang Thanh Tran is 262 pages, which I figure is close enough.

A picture book I think is absolutely beautiful:
Moon Forest by Patricia MacCarthy

And a couple others:
Not Quite Narwhal by Jessie Sima
Perfectly Pegasus by Jessie Sima

I could keep going, but then we'd be here to eternity.
