Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl, featuring a different top 10 theme each week. This week’s topic is Top Ten Quick Reads/Books to Read When Time is Short, which the host is defining as books under 150 pages.

For my list, I’m not paying too much attention to page counts; instead, I’m going with the general idea of shorter reads — basically, novellas.

I’ve been reading more novellas over the past few years — here are ten that I’ve loved:

1) Elder Race by Adrian Tchaikovsky (review)

2) The Tusks of Extinction by Ray Nayler (review)

3) Thornhedge by T. Kingfisher (review)

4) Arch-Conspirator by Veronica Roth (review)

5) Princess Floralinda and the Forty-Flight Tower by Tamsyn Muir (review)

6) To Be Taught, If Fortunate by Becky Chambers (review)

7) A Psalm for the Wild-Built and A Prayer for the Crown-Shy by Becky Chambers (yes, more Becky Chambers — her books are THAT good)

8) A Spindle Splintered by Alix E. Harrow (review)

9) Gwendy’s Button Box by Stephen King and Richard Chizmar (and I do recommend the entire Gwendy trilogy) (review)

10) Rizzio by Denise Mina (review)

Do you have any favorite novellas?
