Hello readers! This week’s TTT is all about short books. I love this idea because I’ve been getting into short books a lot in the past year.
I am very picky about how long a book is and sometimes books feel too short (or long). But, these are short books I really loved. Every book on this list I gave 5 stars and I’m going to go ahead and put these in order of shortest books to longest.
Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme that was created by The Broke and the Bookish in 2010 and is now hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. Each week, you pick your top 10 of the topic provided.

Unhinged is a very short and unique spicy romance between a woman and a door. In the perspective of said door. It was really crazy and that is honestly why I liked it so much.
98 pages
I took a World Literature class in college and Metamorphosis was on the list. Despite the fact that this book was written in the realism era, I really love it.
It follows a man who wakes up as a giant bug and how it ruins his life. I believe it could be a metaphor for either terminal illness, disabilities or depression. How someone experiencing that things can feel like a giant burden in other’s lives. It is honestly so, so good.

Guarding Temptation follows James and Nina. James is Nina’s brother’s best friend. She is an activist who starts to experience death threats. As a result, James wants to protect her.
It’s brother’s best friend, 2nd chance romance, and forced proximity.

Vampire Haiku is a book I don’t think I have ever mentioned on this blog. I read this book as a teen and LOVED it. It is just as the title says, a vampire book written entirely out of haikus.
It pokes fun at vampire books along with being a story following the entire life of a vampire. I honestly recommend this book, but not the zombie one.

To Be Taught If Fortunate follows four people on a space ship who are seeking out a new place for humans to live. Earth is supposed to send them an update on their situation ever month. But, when they wake up after over a decade of being on the mission, they find quite a few months missing. They don’t know what has happened on earth and aren’t sure if they should go back home, or keep going.
This is usually that type of book that I don’t like as some questions are left unanswered, but I still really loved it.

Y’all know I love Emily Antoinette. This is one of her spicy romances following an awkward male witch and a succubus who is a exotic dancer.
This is one of those ‘trashy’ romances thats all smut and no plot. And, I love it. I love Antoinette’s romances because she isn’t afraid of making things a bit awkward between characters. She isn’t afraid to make plus size characters who are confident in their looks. *chefs kiss*

Girlsplaining is a graphic novel centering self love for teen girls. It’s about society shaming women and girls for having body hair and periods. For boys, it is something to be proud of to hit puberty, but for some reason when a girl does it, they are commonly shamed for things.
Once my daughter hits that stage, she will be reading this book! Having periods is not gross and we shouldn’t be shamed for things that bodies do naturally.
165 pages
The Picture of Dorian Gray is undoubtedly one of the best classics out there. It follows Dorian Gray who becomes immortal and has this painting of himself that reflects his bad deeds during his life.
Honestly, I think most people would love this, especially if you like horror books.

Beneath the Sugar Sky is book three in the Wayward Children series. This one is my absolute favorite, but most people love book four the best.
Not every book in this series is a hit, but overall I enjoy it. Each odd number book follows one story line, and each even numbered book gives a backstory of a character.
If you enjoy fantasy books, especially portal fantasy, read this series!
Eleanor West’s Home For Wayward Children is for kids who have been to other worlds, but for some reason have returned or were kicked out of them. These worlds are everything from places full of the dead (or undead) to an entire world made of candy.

What Moves the Dead is a retelling of The Fall of the House of Usher by Edgar Allan Poe. I am a HUGE fan of Edgar Allan Poe’s work.
We follow Alex who learns that their childhood friend Madeline is dying and goes to visit them.
I would say, if you have an aversion to fungus, like on people, maybe steer clear. I cannot read much body horror, but this one wasn’t too bad for me personally. It is all about fungus taking over the creatures and people nearby and making them into a sort of zombie.
I really loved this one and CANNOT wait for the sequel!
