100 Short New Books to Supercharge Your 2024 Reading Challenge

With the holiday stretch coming up, this is a good time to check your progress. If you find you're a few books off your ideal pace, well, we're here to help.

We've assembled here several dozen Very Short Books for your perusal, the reading of which can do wonders for your overall progress. These are all new and recent-ish short books, divided into fiction under 200 pages; fiction between 200 and 250 pages; and nonfiction under 250 pages. We've included options across various genres, as well as a few novels and novellas that gleefully defy genre entirely.
