According to GoodReads the shortest book I read last year was like 487 pages. I enjoy stories and characters I can really get invested in but it also means it usually takes me longer. Right now I'm working on Wool which is the first book in the Silo series. We've been watching the show on AppleTV so I want to see how the books compare. Will take a break to read the third Fourth Wing book that comes out this month. It's romantasy but I enjoy the premise which is sort of like Harry Potter meets Game of Thrones so I can look past the romance parts. After that I guess I'll bounce back to the second and third Silo books.
