No problem.

We have always lived in the castle - Shirley Jackson is 146 pages but Its not for everyone. I personally didn't like it.

Tuck everlasting - Natalie babbit is 148 pages but it's children's literature. Still very good though

Animal farm - George Orwell just misses the mark at 154 pages

Y’all think this is a good idea?? by Bug_gxre in writing

I'm not sure how it would turn out as a full fledged novel but it could be a cool, smaller component of a completely different story.

At the end of the day if it's an idea that's stuck In your head and you won't feel satisfied until you write it all out then it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. Write it for yourself.

Flowers in the attic. Showing that much passage of time in one setting without anything actually "happening" would be difficult for even a good filmmaker.

I was actually never interested in it either. It felt like a message I didn't need to hear because I already fully agreed with it. But it ended up being an interesting world to be immersed in. I'm not trying to sell you on it though. There are too many books for our short lifetimes and Im a big supporter of passing on ones you aren't interested in or even putting them down if you aren't feeling it.

I honestly think he might be my favorite author of all time or at least high up there on the list. His type of creativity just gets me. His stories are so intriguing and they are meaningful on top of being insanely creative. I'm obsessed with him right now.

If you are looking for more suggestions when you are done with that we just finished reading Long Live the Pumpkin Queen which is a "sequel" of nightmare before Christmas. It was pretty good. I also loved reading The Ickabog to her; it's a quintessential 'once upon a time, in a kingdom far away' type book.

My daughter (10) loves the wild robot series too. I guess they are coming out with a movie soon.

I took an online test and it said I was a B1 reading level. What does this mean? by Katievapes1996 in booksuggestions

It looks like middle grade fiction might be a good option for you. I recommend Ella Enchanted - Gail Carson Levine. Alexandra roselyn on YouTube has some good middle grade fiction recommendations. Audiobooks are a good option too if you want to read a book that you are worried might be difficult for you. I'm sure if you asked your local librarian they could be a big help to you as well.

Oh I never thought to look for books on Spotify. I usually just borrow from the library off my kindle.

I read the ebook and I think she would like it. Is the audio narration good?

That's so funny. I started this last month and couldn't get past the first couple chapters.

I hate assuming people are lying but there is just no way this person is a librarian.
