Short books you can finish in a day.

Reading is a great hobby to pick up to help when you’re trapped in a mindless social media scroll or when you’re feeling a little stuck in your head. But University can be extremely busy and reading can be difficult to fit in, especially a long book.

This article will share an array of books you can read in just a day to suit a variety of interests, from well-loved classics to modern best-sellers!

These categories only scratch the surface of these books, with many having a multitude of themes throughout. Therefore they’re split into classics and non-classics as the classics can sometimes be harder to access, whilst the modern classics can better relate to modern themes. I’ve also added a category for graphic novels if you’re not a big fan of reading, but still love to get cosy with a book. All of them however have amazing reviews and are much loved around the world by people of all ages!
