Lyssna. 25 (More) Crime Books You Can Finish in an Afternoon. In an age of distraction, it’s hard to find time to read an entire book at one go, but the depth of concentration achieved by reading a single book at a stretch is well worth carving out the time—even more so if that time is stolen, an illicit moment of enjoyment before returning to earthly travails; a glorious place to remember that reading is for pleasure but also for compulsion, as we race to get to the last page. Authors in the Tent: Rachel Howzell Hall on Why Crime Captures Every Genre of Writing But how does one find out about books both short enough to plow through in a few hours, and compelling enough to make that journey one of rewards?

She was frantic, and searched the forest, thinking perhaps it had not yet been cut. Of course, though Celeste did not know it at the time, this was good; the children having all wished for snow on Christmas, and till then there had not fell a single flake; not one snowball any child was able to make. Celeste found her tree; and I do believe it could very well be your tree! BookTrust home.
