Maybe picking a 600 page book and a couple of 300 pages books at once wasn't the best way to keep my book numbers up.

In an Absent Dream by Seanan McGuire
Fiction: YA, fantasy, 204 pages
1st, this author's books need to be easier to find which number they are in a series. As I keep reading them out of order as a quick look of the covers doesn't denote that it is a series. But this book is a prequel, even if it is book 4 in the series, so it does do a good job of explaining the important things. Lundy is a girl who is lonely. (Also she gets points from me for reading a series of books I loved when younger, but most people don't know.) Her father is the principle of her school, and she doesn't have friends. She finds a tree with a door in it where there wasn't any tree with or without a door before. She opens it and travels down a hallway with a few rules listed in it that opens to the Goblin Market, a place made for people like her.
