Short Reads for a Busy May - Bookcast Newsletter


Busy Month? Keep Reading!

Hey there Reader,

If your May is anything like mine, your calendar is full of end-of-school events, graduations, parties, and preparations for the summer to come. These are all great, but might make it a little hard to find time to read. No problem! This month I've put together a list of short (under 250 page) reads to help you keep pace on your reading goals. As a bonus, they also happen to be incredible books!

The books below are a combination of classics and new work and a mix of genres - something for everyone! Clicking on a title will take you Bookshop.org - all purchases support the Bookcast and indie bookstores!
