I saw one but it is checked out, so recommend another book, good reading and not terribly long, with a number in the title.

It is part of a challenge from a local library, which is turning out to be a lot of fun for me.

Thanks!!!!

The Ten Thousand Doors of January by Alix E. Harrow.

A lovely fantasy book with some mystery. I found it captivating and a fast read with excellent narration and storytelling in the  first person voice of a young female character. No violence or horror.  Time placed in the early 20th century. No foreign words, well written and imaginative.

Meets your criterion for a number in the title. Hope it's available. ($9.99 as a Kindle book from Amazon.)  An entertaining creative novel.

16 Ways to Break a Heart  - I bought it for a summer read but never did read it.  

edited to add... I'm not suggesting you read it. I saw after purchasing the reviews aren't that great.

The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency by Alexander McCall Smith.  Utterly charming introduction to Botswana's premier lady detective, and the first in a long running series.  Gentle humor, no real violence.

@Sooner, there is also the Janet Evanovich series about Stephanie Plum (bailbonds woman); it's set in NJ.

@debfau Brilliant!  I actually have some of them also.  Never thought about those!
