Recs if you like All Summer in a Day...

A novel is a prose work typically above 40k words, though many fall between 60-100k. Anything between roughly 17k and 40k words is generally considered a novella, while works between about 7k and 17k words are classified as novelettes, with some flexibility ~

TL;DR - short stories with 7k-17k words. Get out of that slump.

Books to open your heart and mind to the experiences and realities of others; of the ones society has othered.

Self explanatory I fear! The classics that are taught (I haven’t read them all) with a few of my own additions too (my PGDE qualification warrants as much). Suggestions of your own welcome!
