So- as we all know by now that I got concentration issues, I’m kinda scared of big books.. I’m a slow reader too, so a book tend to last me 1/2 weeks – the bigger the book, the bigger of a time it costs me 😅

But i’m also kinda on the fence for novellas too, as somehow I always go for more medium-lenght books, so I fear that it won’t have enough information or the story might be butched up .. while for big books, it might create the opposite where they’re really dragging and some scene couldve clearly been cut off and I would’ve prefer it.

 

However; I do love me some short chapters, so I feel like a longer book can be saved with shorter chapters. Not only does it gives me a feeling of progressing faster- but i’m also one of those who NEED to end on chapters.. and reading majorly before sleeping, as it’s always the most quiet, whenever it’s too long I just- I can’t do it.

 

What about you?
Do you prefer short or long book?
