2/12: Shortest book read

My mistake, but this isn't the December Book Challenge. I mean, in a way it is, but its hashtag is #AllTheBooksOf2015, so that shall be my labels for all these December posts too :) I am gonna do my best to write in a post everyday this month!

2nd December: Shortest Book Read

When You Reach Me, coming in at 195 pages!

This is a middle grade by Rebecca Stead, centering around a 6th grade girl who knows her New York City neighbourhood like the back of her hand, the places to go and the people to avoid.

I found this book at Popular's July Expo sale, the award on the cover being what attracted me to it. Also, middle grade. No random romance or sex scenes. Hah.

Despite being short, even with short chapters and big text, the story was well delivered. The writing did a good job of transporting me into this world, and I flew through it so easily.

This book was a little mind-blowing, taking me for a ride and at the same time it felt like a stroll too, around this little neighbourhood with all these memorable characters. Read it without knowing much about it, that is the best ;)

Took me a while to think of which book I read was the shortest, but there you have it! Until tomorrow.
