Do you have any short book recommendations? 🐌

[@amalft_]

The plot of I am a fan sounds very promising!!! I will definitly start with The Great Gatsby though 🌹
I really love short books and I added all these to my TBR ! Thank you for this video

[@booksbyanneleen]

The Great Gatsby is also the shortest of the bunch 😙

[@AnyFlowers.]

One book that I devoured in just hours (which is not normal for me) and I think deserves a little more attention is Pizza Girl by Jean Kyoung Frazier, is almost 200 pages. Is about a young pregnant woman being obsessed with an older woman that is also a mother. I haven’t read I’m your Fan yet but because of the description it seems it handles similar topics.

[@booksbyanneleen]

Oh that sounds right up my alley! Thanks for the recommendation 🥰

[@mikalareads]

This was FANTASTIC!!! These are great short book recommendations 👌 I'm currently reading I'm A Fan now!!!!

[@booksbyanneleen]

Thank you! I’m A Fan is so good, very unique concept imo too

I‘m currently reading Breakfast at Tiffany by Truman Capote, it is really entertaining and only around 150 pages long. 🤍

[@booksbyanneleen]

I was so close to putting that book on the list!! I just figured I already included The Great Gatsby and Capote was very much inspired by that book for Breakfast at Tiffany’s, so I didn’t want to recommend two very similar storylines. I read that one a long time ago but remembered really enjoying it.
