TTT: Books I've Read in a Single Sitting


Top Ten Tuesday: Books I've actually read in a single sitting

To be honest, I rarely read books in one sitting unless they are Children's books (no fair) or graphic novels. So I decided to share the graphic novels I remember reading start to finish.


1. The Prince and the Dressmaker by Jen Wang


2. Speak: The Graphic Novel by Laurie Halse Anderson 


3. The Faithful Spy: Dietrich Bonhoeffer and the Plot to Kill Hitler by John Hendrix


4. Laura Dean Keeps Breaking Up With Me by Mariko Tamaki


5. New Kid by Jerry Craft


6. Cicada by Shaun Tan


7. Dancing at the Pity Party by Tyler Feder


8. The Boy, the Mole, the Fox, and the Horse by Charlie Mackesy


9. March, Book 3 by John Lewis


10. The Spill Zone, #1 by Scott Westerfeld

  1. Oh I forgot about The Boy, The Mole! Great choice! I did read it in one sitting, although rather sneakily before wrapping it for my wife for her Christmas present!

  2. I remember Speak being a pretty quick read. I didn't know that it was originally a novel when I picked up the graphic novel version, so I was surprised once I finished it and figured it out lol. Thanks for sharing your list!

  5. I'd put Maus and the March series at the top of my list of favorite graphic novels. I'm eager to read a few I've just discovered: Encyclopedia of Early Earth; Here by Richard McGuire; and A Contract with God.

  6. I've read Speak though it wasn't the graphic novel version. It took me about a month to read, but that was kind of on and off.

  8. The boy, the mole, the fox and the horse is such a wonderful book. I've also read it one sitting, in a few other sittings and it's a constant re-read!

    Happy TTT!

  12. Speak: The Graphic Novel was a great one to read in a single sitting. I haven't heard of the rest, but I'm going to have to check them out. I've only recently gotten into graphic novels. Great list!

    1. I know. I had to read the graphic novel of Speak as soon as I saw it. It had been years since I read the print book.

  14. I didn’t realize Scott Westerfeld had written a graphic novel! I’ll have to check that one out. Great list!

  15. Oh my gosh, a wonderful list of quick reads! Most graphic novels qualify for this, which is one thing I really enjoy about them. I can get really immersed in them and it's satisfying at the end.
