20 Books Under 200 Pages to Up Your Number of Read Books

Hello friends 💜

As I grow older and find myself busier with more adult responsibilities, I find myself unable to spend as much time reading a book as I’d like or losing interest quicker than before. Thus, books under 200 pages have become ideal choices since squeeze in a full book within a few days to read it all instead of taking weeks to finish one below 400 pages 🙌
