Today is day 16 of my countdown to 2024. Using a series of prompts each day I will post a book title that I believe fits the prompt. The aim is to highlight as many books as possible that I read from 2023 and shine the spotlight on them once again (although for some prompts I will be looking at future reads). A list of prompts can be found here if you wish to join me in counting down to 2024.
Today’s prompt: Turkey Dinner– eye’s too big for your belly? A chunkster
The Reformatory by Tananarive Due weighs in at just shy of 600 pages – but it certainly doesn’t feel like a big book when you’re reading it because the pages seem to fly by. Dark, horrific and difficult but an absolute must read.

That’s when you know this is an amazing book, when 600 pages or more does not feel like a big book.
Same for mine, at 896 pages:
Yep, exactly this. Sometimes a long book feels short and vice versa.
Lynn 😀
I was gonna say! Was it really 600 pages, because it didn’t feel like it for me. I breezed through it pretty quicky, vs Black River Orchard by Chuck Wendig that I finished lat week – a 640 page book but it took me pretty much all seven days
Yes, same. I might have rounded up to 600 pages – I had no idea it was that big a book and was surprised. My current read is less pages but is taking me so much longer.
