Top 5 Tuesday is hosted by Shanah @ Bionic Book Worm. It is a weekly meme where you pick your top 5 books for a given topic.
This week technically doesn’t have a topic because Bionic Book Worm is on Hiatus, but since I missed last week’s topic because I was catching up on the previous week’s topic, I am going to do last week’s topic today! (did you follow that?) Anyway, the topic is Top 5 books under 300 pages.
I’ve decided to stick to actual novels under 300 pages, because I had to many to choose from if I included Picture Books and/or Graphic Novels.
Pages: 287
Pages: 279
I was kind of surprised that Pride and Prejudice was under 300 pages so I looked at more editions and it turns out that most editions have more than 300 pages, but this was the edition I had marked as “Read” so it counts!!
Pages: 270
Pages: 139
Pages: 107
Perfectly Tolerable 
Wow for some reason I assumed Pride and Prejudice was much longer too. Nicely varied list!

Recently I read Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, which is just over 100 pages–but it’s SO emotional!! And SO powerful!!

I haven’t read any of these, but my favorite books under 300 pages are probably mostly novellas. (The Murderbot Diaries books and the Wayward Children series are all published as hardback novellas.) So I don’t know if they would really count or not? Still, I love them anyway.

Novellas totally count if you want them to count!! I think One Con Glory is technically a Novella 😀 I haven’t read either of those yet but I have heard of both of them 😂😂

I enjoyed One Con Glory a lot more than I thought I would! And Pride and Prejudice does read pretty quick I think I just de facto think all classics have to be super long!

I skipped last week because I wasn’t sure how many books I’ve read that were under 300 pages. I probably could have found some middle grade, but otherwise, mostly graphic novels. Great choices!

Haha most editions are slightly over 300 but for some reason the edition I marked Read on goodreads was under 300 so it counts! 😂😂

I’ve not read any of these…. not even Pride and Prejudice…. i don’t think?! Hahaha I may have read that one actually. I went through a classics kick when I was a kid and read all kinds of stuff. ❤ I loved a book under 300 called Convenience Store Woman. And I just read the Murderbot first 2 books and they were excellent under 300!!! Cute post.
