All of these books are less than 300 pages and two of them are under 200 👀 These books may not be easy reads, but they do go by fast! I love having short books on hand after finishing a longer series or even just for a break between bigger, heavier-themed books. That’s not to say that small book

here's another round of short books! This time I tried to find some of my favorite "weirder" stories for those girls with short attention spans who like something a little strange! What weird, short books would you add to this list? #lemon8partner #lemon8bookclub #lemon8bookch

Perfecting the art of the short novel is no easy task. Constructing a compelling plot, characters, and setting in less than 200 pages requires a certain level of technical skill that many authors struggle with. However, these three books do all of these things almost flawlessly. They not only manag

☠️🔪😵🩸 Basically, these books are a masterclass in strong, complicated women. “Fixing” them? I don't think so. They're way too interesting for that! So I waltzed in here thinking I knew what was up, ready to play Cupid's little helper. Then I saw this bookshelf roundup and, let me

lately i’ve been so tired of reading the same old genres that I always read! i want to switch it up a little bit and read some more general fiction/women’s fiction books. I love when you’re following a female main character and there is more going on in her life other than a romance. More of a roma

Not only are these books short, but they’re so entertaining you won’t want to put them down! I have read all of these novels either within 24 hours or over a couple days, so i can personally attest to these being short, attention-grabbing reads! (And I’ve given all of them 4+ stars so u know the

PART 2!!!! Definitely go back and look at my part 1 for some of my favorite adult vampire stories if you haven’t seen it yet. Here are two more I love! The writing in both of these stories is very literary and the authors explore deeper themes. Woman, Eating is my personal fave of these -

Literary fiction has quickly become one of my top fav genres!!! These 2 books are what I would say are my top 2 favorites so far 🩷 Big Swiss by Jen Beagin 🩷 Main character Greta works as a transcriber for a psychologist. She becomes infatuated with one of his patients and bumps into her in pub

I recently came across a funny/informative subreddit asking for "low-brow high-brow books", essentially meaning books that might otherwise qualify as literary fiction but contain a really compelling plot element that keeps you entertained while reading. I thought I would go one step further

when I first made this post I was just going for 2024 literary fiction by women but then I realized they were all about sibling relationships! Bonus because G+V and Interesting Facts have queer rep ✨ These are all on my TBR but I’ve also heard good things so I’m excited to start them! #lemon8bo

Literary fiction asks the most difficult question in literature: What does it mean to be human? From the haunting memory of slavery in Beloved to the moral psychology of The Secret History, these books explore identity, trauma, faith, and the complexity of human life. If you want to understa

Short stories are so slept on, and I'm tired of the disrespect 😤. Two collections I always recommend are *Gutshot* by Amelia Gray (weird, unhinged, stunning) and *The Complete Stories* by Flannery O’Connor (southern gothic perfection). Honestly, you’d think in our world of TikTok-length atte
