Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme created and hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. Today’s theme is a “Read In One Sitting Theme: ten of the shortest books I’ve read, top ten books I read in one sitting, ten books to read when you are short on time, top ten books that will make you read the whole day away, etc.”. I went with books I read in one sitting, or mostly one sitting. I won’t be including graphic novels or any type of cartoon or manga.
The list goes from most recent read to the least recent.
Orbiting Jupiter by Gary D. Schmidt
This book straddles the line between middle grade and young adult, so it’s easy to read, plus it’s pretty short (just under 200 pages). That makes it an easy book to read if you have some extra time one day. I really recommend it, it will hit you right in the emotions.
The Rest of Us Just Live Here by Patrick Ness
This is a quick and easy read with both humor and seriousness. I loved the spin on the Chosen One trope and I imagined all the “indie kids” as the cast of The Vampire Diaries.
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child by John Tiffany & Jack Thorne
Most of us want to forget this exists, but at least it was quick to read?
This just seems like so much fun. Beauty contestants stranded on an island? Sounds like the reality show Robinson, you might have a version of it in your country too. And how amazing is this cover? I want it framed. 
Who’s not talking about Illuminae lately? It’s everywhere, the hype is real. I read the first few pages and it seems promising.
I’m really into books and TV shows about dangerous killer teens (think Pretty Little Liars and How to Get Away With Murder). Accidental murder or not. I just finished reading
This is another one that’s been on my tbr for quite some time. I’ll get to this fairly soon, I think.
It’s no secret that me and Throne of Glass didn’t really get along, just 
I loved the first book in this series so damn much [
Full series re-read! I’m so excited. I don’t think I’ve ever actually re-read the entire series before, like in order. I’ve read all the books several times individually, but never gone through 1-7 in order. But I’m doing that now 😀 I just finished Chamber of Secrets today and I’m super excited to pick up PoA because it’s been so long since I read that one. 
Another favorite. If you haven’t heard about it yet, it’s a story about “supervillains” trying to kill each other. Victor and Eli used to be best friends in college, but then they found out how to get superpowers and all went to hell. I want to build a shrine to this book, it’s phenomenal. It’s so well written and all the characters are great. I don’t re-read books unless the title has “Harry Potter and the” in it, but I’m making an exception for this one when the sequel comes out. [
Oh, Patrick Ness. I love this book, it was a complete page-turner for me. Some think the beginning is slow, but I thought the beginning was the best part. It’s best to go into this book completely blind, but it starts with the main character dying… and then waking up, somewhere completely different. This book is a mindfuck in the best of ways. [
Another Patrick Ness book, because why not. This is a dystopian trilogy about New World, a planet where everyone can hear each other’s thoughts (including animals, though they don’t have a lot of interesting stuff to say, it’s mostly just hilarious). What sets this apart the most is probably the writing style, because it’s written the way people talk, so in dialect. It might be hard to get into for some, but it’s worth it. If you think reading it is too annoying then I really recommend the audiobook. I listened to the audiobook of the first novel and then read the second. It was great. [
This is where it gets weird. This is a bizarre little book. It’s a horror story set in a knock-off IKEA called Orsk. The employees start to suspect someone’s hiding in the store at night, so they decide to stay the night and investigate. Always a good idea… The writing in this book might not be the best, and the characters are pretty simple, but I thought it was fun and actually pretty creepy at times. The cover looks like an IKEA catalog and inside there are furniture designs (or whatever they’re called) with bizarre and ridiculous names (at times Swedish or pseudo-Swedish, so extra hilarious for us Scandinavians). I was entertained. [
I used the movie cover because it illustrates the different genres in this book pretty well. This was an assigned read for me, I never would have picked it up if it wasn’t for that. And to be honest I probably wouldn’t have gotten through the first chapter if I didn’t have to read it. This is a book that consists of six novellas, all in a different genre and a different time period. Yet somehow, they’re connected. It’s weird, sometimes hard to read (but sometimes really simple, it depends on which story you’re on), and very clever. It makes you go BUT WHICH STORY IS THE REAL ONE OH MY GOD. In the end I really enjoyed it.
This book is in a league of its own. I read it five years ago or so and it’s still one of my favorite books. It’s amazing and it’s so complex, you need to really commit to reading this. At times it reads like a textbook, at times it reads like a horror novel that makes the back of your neck prickle. I can’t really explain this book, I keep trying but I think it needs its own post. Basically it’s a story within a story, with annotations and notes where you’ll have to flip back and forth. First off, it’s about a
