88 Short New Books to Help You Crush Your 2022 Reading Challenge

"Time is ticking! If you're currently participating in the 2022 Goodreads Reading Challenge, autumn is a good season to check your progress and pace.

If you find you're a bit behind, no worries. There are many ways to accelerate your book count in the reading challenge. Add another hour or so each day to your designated book time. Or take up speed reading and skip all those pesky adverbs and adjectives. (We kid! Please don't skip the adverbs and adjectives!) Caffeine is always a friend.

Or you could switch over to shorter books, and that's what we have in mind here. Lighter page counts can have a marvelous effect on your overall reading challenge numbers. The books here are all published within the past five years in the U.S. and the list is divided into two sections: books with fewer than 200 pages, and books with fewer than 300 pages.
The titles wander all over the genre map, so hopefully you can make a quick stack for the stretch run."
