Short and/or Quick to Read for Neurodiverse Brains
All are very welcome to this list, but I've geared it towards my fellow neurospicy folk with busy Brains who need some high dopamine sparks from their books...and for it to not take forever for us to read a book and we lose our interest/hyperfocus š¤£š„°

Thank you for this! As a fellow neurodivergent brain, though I wouldn't consider them short or super quick reads, I can confirm that T. Kingfisher's fantasy novels (for me) are engaging all the way through, especially as audiobooks. You may want to add her Saint of Steel quartet series on here as well. c:
You're very welcome!! I'm so glad it's been helpful š
Absolutely agree, T.Kingfisher books definitely give my brain the dopamine sparks it needs to keep engaged āŗļø and makes it feel like it goes quickly despite not all her books being super short. If you did want actually short T.Kingfisher books, Minor Mage, Thornhedge and her new book Nine Goblins are only around 150 pages long š
Ha! Can't believe I forgot to add those š¤£ I'll add them to the list now, thanks! Xx
