Shaunygirl has a pretty great question, and I was all to happy to answer. My tastes have changed somewhat from my early book-a-day addiction, but in the grand scheme of things, if a book hooks me hard, I am ALL in for as long as it takes.
She asks:
I was just curious about everybody’s page count sweet spot.
Lately books have seemed longer to me. I always like between 250-300. It’s long enough to feel connected to the characters but not to long for my adhd brain.
Hi Shauny!
Hrmmm… back in the day (when I was reading a book a day – and all I did was read and devour every book I came across) the longer, the better. I hated leaving a world I was fully immersed in and got attached to. I hated leaving the characters. I’d actually mourn them. Miss them, think about them, and I would be DELIGHTED if there were more books out or coming out so that I could jump back in with them again. They felt like friends. Family.
