weird little books you can read in one sitting

short books around 200 pages or less that you can easily read in one sitting! for those who just want a quick read or those trying to hit their reading goals ! i tried to include a variety of genres including lit fic, fantasy, sci-fi, horror, thriller, etc.

ladies love to write all around the world!

Some different perspectives in the form of lil guys. (200 pages or less) Great if you just need to zone out for an afternoon!

For the girlies raised to smile through the pain. Art is resistance, truth and change.

Don’t be fooled by the page count, these novels still quite pack a punch and will leave a mark on you.

Can be read in a day or two (best served with your hot drink of choice 😌)
