Ultimate Popsugar Reading Challenge discussion

This one sure will be easier than "more than 600 pages." What titles are out there that are less than 150 pages? Give us some suggestions.

I want to select either Very Good Lives: The Fringe Benefits of Failure and the Importance of Imagination or The Grownup.

My plan is to read The Pearl by John Steinbeck. A whopping 87 pages!

I have tons of children's books I could read and read on an almost daily basis, BUT I will probably read Jonathan Livingston Seagull and use that one.
I can recommend Mr. Memory and Other Stories of Wonder by Paul Michael Peters and The Grownup by Gillian Flynn.

The old man and the sea, I personally really liked it lol

All I have is a kindle book called Bare-Knuckle Love by K.A. Merikan. It has 106pgs.

You could always read a child's book. Anything by Dr Seuss should be under 150 pages.

I just stumbled across The Tiny Book of Tiny Stories, Vol. 1 on here the other day. It's by Joseph Gordon Levitt so that has me very intrigued. Anyone read it?

I found all of these listed as less than 150 pages on various on-line sites, but of course the page count varies with the edition so I'm not certain if these are all valid. I'll probably read Mango Street, that's one of those books I've been meaning to read for years. Or I'll just find a historical romance novella! Courtney Milan is pretty reliable.

The House on Mango Street,
The Possession,
In the Orchard, the Swallows,
Train Dreams

The Penguin Classic; A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess is only 140 pages :)

For those who use Amazon, there is also a section called 'Kindle Singles' which are a great selection of short novellas, memoirs, non fiction and much more!

NB. I don't work for Amazon or take any commission from them...I'm just another avid reader passing on the info :)

Thanks Sooz!! I haven't used that feature and I love kindle books, but never noticed that section!

I only just discovered it today :)

There's some big name authors on there as well!

Captain Underpants Volume 1

The Prince
I think I read this in high school but I don't remember it at all, so going to try it again.

A lot of the books that I thought for sure were under 150 pages totally fooled me. I'm going with:

The Fall - Coming in at only 147 pages.

I am reading Bitter Sweet Love - a novella of The Dark Elements Series by Jennifer L Armentrout. Its only 105 pages.

I just finished:

Dog's Best Friend: More Citizen Dog Reflections by Mark O'Hare (Comic)

My short Review/Thoughts on the book:

Thank you to the two people who mentioned the old man & the sea. I forgot I had that book and now can use it for my 150 page challenge!

For this one I'll be reading The Yellow Wallpaper and Other Stories, 70 pages. Here's another version of The Yellow Wallpaper with just 64 pages.

I'm either going to read All My Friends are Superheroes (120 pages) or The Tiny Wife (99 pages) both by Andrew Kaufman.

I recently read The Stepford Wives by Ira Levin. Haunting and well written. Definitely worth a read.

Ethan Frome: By Edith Wharton by Edith Wharton

Candide by Voltaire. It comes in just under at 147 pages. This could also work for satire or translated from another language.

We Should All be Feminists is 49 pages

I read a Dutch book for this one, as it came up from my TBR jar anyway, and was under a 150 pages. I don't think anyone else here reads Dutch literature, but maybe someone can benefit from this suggestion somehow, it was Twee Vrouwen by Harry Mulisch.

I believe it has been translated as Two Women and printed in the UK or USA too, but I think that was a long time ago.

For Dutchies though, it was a Nederland Leest book, which was distributed for free by the Dutch Library system a few years ago, making it very easy to pick up 2nd hand.

The Asylum For Fairy Tale Creatures by Sebastian Gregory

I read Paris For One by JoJo Moyes.

I will be reading The Yellow Wall-Paper

If you enjoy reading Maya Angelou's books, this one is under 100 pages: Wouldn't Take Nothing for My Journey Now

I read Puddle Jumping

Guaranteed to bring me tears.

I read Lady Susan by Jane Austen. I was unaware that this book existed, and it was quite a quick read. Less than 100 pages.

I finished Logan's Run by William F. Nolan & George Clayton Johnson. It could be filed under science fiction, dystopian, book you can finish a day but I filed it under book under 150 pages.

My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Night by Elie Wiesel fit this prompt.

I read Tribes. If it helps, I think most plays should work (barring any really long ones, like A Long Day's Journey Into Night).

I am going to try The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.

Do you think Tor Shorts would count? There are some that are longer (40-60 pages). The BookRiot challenge has a "less than 100 pages" task, and I'm having a hard time finding a book that is that short, so I asked this question in that group because I want to use a 40 page Torshort (A Dead Djinn in Cairo) ... but no one answered me! This group is more active, I think.

I chose Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them for this prompt.

Lady Susan

Only 80 pages and was the inspiration for the movie "Love and Friendship".

I definitely stuck with this prompt with My Dog: The Paradox: A Lovable Discourse about Man's Best Friend by Matthew Inman. I love this cute little story and can totally relate. Plus the illustrations are laugh-out-loud funny!

Night

The Awakening for me at 95 pages. I really didn't like it to be honest, I found the main character exceptionally annoying.

Some better ones at under 150 pages:
Of Mice and Men
We Should All Be Feminists
The Tales of Beedle the Bard
The Trouble With Women

I'm about halfway through Of Mice and Men

I read Norby and the Lost Princess by Jane Asimov. The Norby books are a sci-fi series targeted towards a younger audience written by Isaac Asimov's wife. I love them.

I read a Kindle Single by Jodi Picoult: The Color War

The Finer Points of Sausage Dogs, Alexander McCall Smith. Short, sweet, loved it!
