Short Reads for Shorter Days

If you're anything like me, you may find that time is something you seem to have less and less of as each day passes. And if you're like me, you probably also start out every year with high hopes of accomplishing some pretty big things. Well, friends, I probably don't need to tell you that this doesn't always have a way of working out...

But...

Me and some of my fantastic author friends are here to help you accomplish at least one goal for 2017! A lot of us started the year by participating in the annual Goodreads Reading Challenge. And a lot of us are now looking at the end of the year fast approaching and realizing there is not a lot of time to finish reading all of those books you swore you would. (Book a week? Who has time for that?)

Which is where we come in. The following 11 authors are also short story writers and guess what? Short stories count towards your reading challenge! Take a look at the various books being offered below, ranging from so short you can read them in your lunch break to small novellas that might take a cozy evening to complete. 

Of course, you don't have to be falling behind on your reading challenge to enjoy a short story! You don't even have to be on Goodreads! Perhaps you just don't have a lot of time to invest in a long novel right now. Or maybe you really want to start reading for pleasure, but you're looking to take baby steps. Whatever your reason, we're here for you. 

So without further ado, here are a few short read recommendations from some wonderful indie authors:
