Somehow I missed the birthday part of this week’s TTT so I’m editing to include it!

Happy Birthday, TTT! Ten years and still running!

This week’s topic had three choices. I chose “pick a past TTT topic you’ve done and re-do/update it.” Here’s my first go at this topic–full of fun little books!

  1. Great list! The only one I’ve read is Redhead. Fredrik Backman’s 2 novellas are also quick reads! I also love MG titles which mostly can be read in a day! You might have inspired me to create my own list! 🙌😍

  2. I overlooked this topic too – oh well, too late now.
    I don’t know most of your featured books but will make a note of them because though I don’t care for short stories, I find novellas far more enjoyable.
