Top Ten Tuesday: Top Ten Books To Read In One Day

If I had the choice, I would spend my days reading.  Nerd alert: my idea of a perfect weekend involves reading books nonstop.  Unfortunately, I have to partake in the ritual that is working, so I'm limited on my reading time.  But these books can be read in one day or one sitting, and I love them:

Top Ten Books To Read In One Day

1. 13 Reasons Why, by Jay Asher


2. Twenty Pageants Later, by Caroline B. Cooney


3. Beezus and Ramona, by Beverly Cleary


4. Divergent, by Veronica Roth


5. The Invention of Hugo Cabret, by Brian Selznic

6. The House on Mango Street, by Sandra Cisneros



7. The Bad Beginning (The Series of Unfortunate Events), by Lemony Snicket


8. The Westing Game, by Ellen Raskin


9. Election, by Tom Perrotta


10. Bossypants, by Tina Fey

    Hugo! That just reminded me of Wonder Struck. How did I forget that one on my list? I loved Divergent. May 1 and Insurgent can't get here soon enough!

      If you can, you should listen to it on audio as well. It's Tina Fey reading it and it makes it even funnier.

    Ahhh!!! I read Twenty Pageants Later when I was in middle or elementary school! Holy crap I can't believe I had forgotten about it! I'm pretty sure I bought it through one of those Scholastic classroom order by mail catalogs! So fun!

      Hahaha, I love that book. I have no idea what it is about it, but it's one of my favorite Cooney books.

    I'm pretty sure I read (all?) thirteen Lemony Snicket books in a weekend. Or maybe it was a week? But still, that's almost 2 per day. They were hilarious.

    And also now that I have money I think I'm going to go pre-order Insurgent :)
