Books recommended by musician Lucy Dacus, a solo artist and member of the band boygenius. Pulled from her goodreads list.

on average people read 40-60 pages an hour, so this is a continuously updated collection of books with 60 pages or less & a couple short story collections

respect your mothers! and their mothers, and their....

For when reading a classic feels too daunting. Classics under 200 pages!

All of Ursula K. Le Guin's major works. Not exhaustive due to some writing being hard to source sadly. Still a work in progress!

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.

if you’re craving something that feels like the next martha’s vineyard (iykyk)! books that evoke the same feeling as the magnificent tv show ‘widows bay’

For the gurlies that want to read more classics but finish in a day

dystopian: relating to or denoting an imagined state or society where there is great suffering or injustice.

This is a curated list of short stories that are must read for any literature enthusiast! Feel free to post your suggestions in comments.

Recommendations from Pagebound Club.

This is just a list of all the books that BTS members have recommended or shared.

dystopian novels or short stories (if you have suggestions or think there are mistakes please let me know!)

edit: a dystopian book describes an undesirable society, and contains themes of oppression perpetrated by a tyrannical government. It is different from post-apocalyptic books (like The Road), which can contain similar themes, but lack the social commentary about living in fear of the government, lack of individualisation, propaganda, etc.

books that every bts member (mainly namjoon) has read, recommended or talked about in lives, songs, behinds, etc. 🫰🏻💜

note: i won’t get everything right or on the list so please be patient with me!! 💜

Part 3 of the cycle series. Short stories and novellas for the time when we don't wanna do anything but love a cathartic cry.
