I want to know what you love! I’m going on vacation and I’m setting a goal of 3-4 books for the week.
Give me a short description about the book and why you love it! I love non-fiction nature books, but I am open to anything (including fiction).
Thank you! ♥️

What is your idea of short? And what genre you prefer?
Cultivating Delight by Diane Ackerman is a lovely lyrical book about a garden and it’s less than 300 pages
A psalm for the wild built by Becky Chambers. Literally couldn’t stop reading it. Such a calming read
*It Lasts Forever and Then It’s Over* by Anne de Marcken (130-160 pages depending on which edition you get) is about an undead woman who can’t remember who she was but she does remember that she felt a great love while she was still alive so she goes out in search of it. I read this one as an e-book and loved it so much that I went out and bought a physical copy.
Any of Sherlock Holmes!
The Outsiders by S.E.Hinton or everything from Claire Keegan
The old man and the sea
O Henry collections were always a hit with me! Super short and always packs a punch
The Time Machine by H.G Wells
The Wayward children series by Seanan McGuire. The first book is Every Heart a Doorway. It’s a portal fantasy about children who travel to different worlds and come back to ours.
Of men and mice
Oscar and the Lady in Pink. Doesn’t fit all the criteria and I couldn’t describe it without giving it away, but this is a couple hours read and totally worth it!
The Last Picture Show by Larry McMurtry! Holy cow, I was not expecting to love it as much as I did.
This is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone. Just under 200 pages. I read it all in a little over an hour, it was very good
Steinbeck’s novellas: The Pearl, The Red Pony, Of Mice and Men, etc.
