C.S. Lewis’s love for a good, long book paired with a large cup of tea is something that resonates with many of us. There’s a certain comfort in getting lost in a story so deeply that the outside world fades away, while you sip tea and enjoy the escape. But even shorter books can provide that same cozy experience—leaving you just as satisfied, if not craving more.

A steaming mug of your favorite tea—whether it’s a fragrant jasmine or a soothing chamomile—can still sit beside you as you dive into something shorter but just as captivating. Books like Holland, My Heart and When Ivy Met Adam might not be lengthy epics, but their stories are rich with emotion, depth, and the kind of romance that keeps you turning pages.

These quick reads can feel like taking a warm, lovely journey—offering you all the heart, tension, and connection of a sprawling romance in a smaller, more digestible package. And the beauty of a shorter novel? You can savor it in just a few sittings.
