I feel like most of what I read are about 300-400 pages in length but I don’t know that I have a preference. I’m happy to read a shorter book or an 800 page book if it strikes me as interesting.

I am really into chapbooks at the moment, generally less than 50 pages. I like getting an entire story in the span of an hour.

I love books over 400 pages. I get so engrossed when reading and disappointed when I reach the end of a book. I tend to not judge a book by its cover but by the number of pages.

I really don't have a preference for book length. I don't usually read books over 900 pages though.

Anywhere around 300-600 is my favorite. Any longer and I can feel myself losing interest. if it's super short then I usually also put it off because I don't want to finish it that quick.

Anything between 350 to 450 pages book would be fine with me..These type of books slowly builds up the pace and character development is also there.

Somewhere between 400 and 500 is perfect. It's enough pages to properly develop characters, have good world building without info dumping, etc.
