If you take 250 words per page then 17,500 comes out to 70 pages. The novelette starts at 7,500 coming out at 30 pages.
I will be taking both these categories together, reading stories from around 30 pages up to 200 pages in length, to give myself the widest choice.
So, no, I don't think we should be too hung up on word/page count especially between Novelette and Novellas.
What am I reading?
Having said that so far I've committed to just one book - The Hermit by Louise Walters. It was on last years list but I didn't get to it so I'm determined to read it this year. I'll be quite happy if this is my only read this #NovNov23.
I have two blog tours in November neither are Novellas so I'm factoring that into the plan.
So, apart from The Hermit (133 pg) what might I read? I've got a few possibilities I'm going to give the author then the book/possible choices.
Edgar Allen Poe
The Fall of the House of Usher (28 pg)
Jane Austin
Love and Friendship (60 pg)
Jeanette Winterson (I will choose one from this list or more if I have time)
Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit (194 pg)
The Passion (173 pg)
Weight (113 pg)
Courage Calls to Courage (81 pg)
Virginia Woolf
How Should One Read a Book? (39 pg)
Claire Keegan
The Forester's Daughter (54 pg)
James Joyce
Love (42 pg)
So, if I do find time and manage more I could read five, six or seven books! Wouldn't that be an excellent #NovNov23?
