Need some last minute help achieving your 2022 reading goals? Here are some novellas I read recently (up to 200 pages) that you can grab on KU and sneak in under the wire.
I personally enjoyed every book (or author) on this list for different reasons. Some books were genuinely spectacular writing. Some books just served to entertain me endlessly (looking at you Jessa Kane). I listed out all the tropes, so hopefully you find something that tickles your fancy.
It's the laziest post ever--there are no links--but you can grab them all or none or some on Kindle Unlimited and let me know your thoughts.
