Oh, December. I can’t believe we’re already here. With multiple holidays, school breaks, and hectic travel, December can really wreak havoc on even the most steady of reading habits. Today, I have some short novels that pack a punch. These are books that are short on page count so easy to fit into a busy season. But—more importantly—they’re compelling and engrossing reads that you’ll want to reach for even at the end of a frantic day.

I’m also hoping to add books of this nature to my own December TBR so I’d love your additional recommendations in the comments!
