Top Ten Tuesdays are hosted by The Broke and The Bookish, and feature lists related to all things bookish–characters, authors, titles, and favorites. They’re an excellent way to find new interesting books on a variety of topics, and to find bloggers that love the books you do.
Check out their blog for their top ten and lists of other bloggers who participate.
March 21: 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 divided this into favorite quick reads and recent reads you won’t want to put down.
Quick Reads
1. Sleeper and the Spindle; Neil Gaiman. A retelling of Sleeping Beauty with a rescuing queen instead of prince.
2. Rolling in the Deep; Mira Grant. Scary, scary mermaids.
3. The Terrible and Wonderful Reasons Why I Run Long Distances; Matthew Inman. For runners, people who know runners, and just people seeking motivation.
4. Baba Yaga’s Assistant; Marika McCoola. It takes a very brave person to be Baba Yaga’s assistant, but Masha is plenty brave.
5. The 13 Clocks; James Thurber. A fairy tale with a wicked duke, an imprisoned princess, and a lot of clocks.
Gripping Reads
6. A Darkness Absolute; Kelley Armstrong. #2 in a series. A town full of people on the run, and hidden monsters.
7. Masque; W.R. Gingell. A great re-telling of Beauty and the Beast, with a strong, independent female lead.
8. The Enchantment Emporium; Tanya Huff. A magic family, a junk shop with some spectacular items, and dragons.
9. Nevernight; Jay Kristoff. An assassin in training, seeking revenge for the death of her family.
10. Truth or Beard; Penny Reid. A really cute, fast paced romance.

I have Truth or Beard. I need to read it, especially since now I know it’s a quick read!
My TTT.
Definitely! 🙂
I haven’t read any of these (yet!), but I’m considering reading Nevernight. I liked Illuminae, and I’ve read other stuff written by Amie Kaufman, but I’ve never read anything else by Jay Kristoff.
Great list! 🙂
He also wrote this Japanese steampunk/ dystopian with lightning tigers, which I loved.
Great list! I loved THE SLEEPER AND THE SPINDLE too, and ROLLING IN THE DEEP looks good! 😀 I’m impressed you read NEVERNIGHT in a day; it took me days!
Oh, I don’t think I did–I put it in the “hard to put down” half of my list!
