Fancy A Quickie?

Here's a list of books all under 250 pages (some significantly shorter) which I think are small books with a lot to offer:

> How To Catch a Wild Viscount by Tessa Dare
Historical Romance
105 Pages
Rating: ****
Review: Short, romantic, meaningful...this little eBook was the perfect little historical read to help me out of a slump. It was a lovely little story with wonderfully vibrant characters. Although short, it didn't feel at all rushed. I devoured it in one sitting (probably less than an hour). Despite the short length I feel that the story and characters were such that I will remember the story and maybe even reread it when I'm in the mood.

> Brokeback Mountain by Annie Proulx
Glbt/Adult Fiction
64 Pages
Rating: ****
Review: I've never seen the film of this story but this book was really intense. 20 years packed into 60 pages was partly the reason for the intensity. It was also because of the writing and the story itself. This story is gritty and true; the concise writing style only added to this. The emotions of the characters were palpable and I found myself crying towards the end. I'm truly stunned at the impact 60 short pages can have but that is just testament to the incredible writing and storytelling present here. Overall this was gripping, emotional and a very tragic yet beautiful love story which I'm sure I'll never forget.

Review: Here's why it gets 5 stars:
>The world built in this book is intriguing without being confusing. 
>Jonas was a very wonderful character to read and the other characters woven into the story were also interesting to read.
>The end was my favorite part, I read the last 40 pages so quickly and I was completely satisfied with how it ended. 
Overall this book was a wonderful story with a truly inspiring message which can be read, and enjoyed, by anyone of any age. This is the kind of wonderful story which overcomes differences in reading preferences of genre by appealing to the inquisitive child we once were, the adult we are now and the reminiscing old person we will one day become.
Put simply, it is a book about memories that I will never forget.
