When we chose 100 pages as our reading cap for December's part in our Read with MLC Challenge, we did so with the knowledge of just how busy this time of year can be. The hustle and bustle of the holiday season melded with the gloom of suddenly shortened days can be a very real reading inhibitor. Once we hit the front door, binging a series on TV sounds mighty attractive. It turns out, though, that reading can clear the mind and free the spirit: winging your way to another world for half an hour or so might be all you need to change your mood for the better. Here are a few lists of very short books (though perhaps not all exactly under 100 pages) that you can use to fulfill December's goal.
