jvickery88 | 120 comments Hey @Anastasiya

We share quite a few short-ish books in our 'to-read' category, however majority of them seem quite dark, and following 'Prophet Song' we mentioned we'd like something a little lighter. That said, we have 'The Great Gatsby' as an option. Alternatively, we could review our lists and recommend some from our to read lists that are short but not shared with eachother?

Hey! I had to start over, but it's small so shouldn't take long. So probably we will be able to have a discussion somewhere next week

Nasta_lm | 137 comments Hey! So for now I have two suggestions for the next book:

This one is just smth I really want to read in the nearest future, maybe you'll be inetested:
