Looking for a novella or short read. I’m into romance but it doesn’t have to be romance. Only things I don’t want are fantasy or horror. Send me your recommendations! TIA! by glutenfreeshrooms Related: Books like “The Three-Body Problem” Suggest me a book whose enjoyment isn’t dependent upon me remembering what happened in the pages I read before bed the day before! Similar to Downton Abbey Secret baby trope but make it fantasy thriller authors similar to Freida McFadden or Jennifer Hillier?
StinkyAndTheStain on November 16, 2023 2:19 pm Some classic novellas that are still enjoyable today: Animal Farm The Old Man and the Sea Flowers for Algernon Metamorphosis (I guess you could consider this horror, but it’s pretty clear supposed to be a metaphor and isn’t scary in the traditional sense) Siddhartha Night (incredibly depressing) One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich (also depressing)
