Bookriot's 100 Must-Read Novellas - Page 2

"Drawing the line between a short story, novella, and novel can be tricky, so for the purposes of this list, I've defined a novella as between 50 and 200 pages. Most of these are around 100 to 150 pages. I've included selections from a variety of genres, so most readers should be able to find something they like." - Teresa Preston
