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!

Dear Committee Members is one of my favourite books! I didn’t know what to expect when I picked it up, but it’s so dang funny. Great post!

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! 🙌😍

Middle Grades have some really good stories. If you’ve read here for long you know I truly adore Hilary McKay’s Casson family series–so much that I asked the author to write a grown-up version of the marriage of the parents!

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.
