TTT: Books that can be read in a day. (No particular order.)
1.
Stupid Fast by Geoff Herbach---I just finished this book in day so it is first to my mind. It is a very fun, yet touching coming-of-age story.
2.
Stitches by David Small---The graphic biography by a master illustrator about his early years when he was raised by neglectful, abusive parents. (Do graphic novels count?)
3.
Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman---this is one of those special books that can easily be read in one sitting.
4.
Under the Mesquite by Guadalupe Garcia McCall---written in verse so it reads very fast but you may want to slow it down in order to savor this lovely book.
5.
Chopsticks by Jessica Anthony---This one probably shouldn't count since there are very few words. I felt like I was telling myself the story.
6.
Exposed by Kimberly Marcus---told in verse this is the story of a girl who is conflicted if she should side with her brother or her friend. I read this one in an hour.
7.
The Lover's Dictionary by David Levithan---written in dictionary form this is a story about a budding relationship.
8.
Revolver by Marcus Sedgwick---I read this story in one sitting. It was so exciting I couldn't put it down.
9.
Staying Fat for Sarah Brynes by Chris Crutcher---I read this book one summer afternoon in the hammock.
10.
Tales from Outer Suburbia by Shaun Tan--- thirteen little graphic vignettes. I love this book.
What are your favorite books that you read in a day?
Haven't read any of these but might have to!

Ooh, I'm dying to read The Graveyard Book! And yes, audiobooks do tend to take longer, I love being read to, but not being able to control the pace is so frustrating for me!
ReplyDeleteStupid Fast looks like a fantastic read. Great list, by the way.
