Quick book to finish end of year reading goal

I’m in a sci-fi kick lately and as I was browsing the audible plus catalog I remembered hearing great things about this book! I loved it! It was a quick listen (which was nice that it was free I wouldn’t pay a credit for it tbh because that just too short of a book for me to justify spending $20 🤣.

I finished this book and went and put the second audiobook on hold with my library! #bookreccomendation #fantasy #booktok #scifiUnited States

Fast-paced books to get you out of a reading slump
Nothing kills a reading slump faster than a short, unputdownable book, the kind that grabs you from page one, moves fast, and makes you feel like a reading genius because you finished it in one sitting. Or would I say… I'm too lazy for hundred pages kind of book, I need short one please!
