Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish and features a new top ten list each week.
Books To Read In A Day
Here are books that I read in one sitting (or day) and that I could not step away from aka some of the best ones.
01. Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins – I don’t read a lot of YA contemporary so I was pretty sure this wouldn’t be my thing. I started it before bed thinking, “I’ll read a few pages.” Cut to 3AM or so and I had just finished and had the silliest grin on my face.
02. The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins – Is anyone able to put this down?! This was such an intense reading experience for me. As was Catching Fire immediately following. And Mockingjay when that was released.
03. Ashes by Ilsa J. Bick – SPEAKING OF INTENSE. This book kept me up until I finished it and I was freaking out over it along the way on goodreads and twitter.
04. Angelfall by Susan Ee – Susan Ee really knows how to keep the pace going and going in her writing. So addicting!
05. Twilight by Stephenie Meyer – Yup, yup, this list would not be complete without this book. I have such vivid memories of my experience reading it: freshman year of college in my dorm, class early the next morning, running to my laptop around 4AM to order New Moon, missing class the next day…YEAH.
06. Harry Potter by JK Rowling – I read through the first four books when I was in the sixth grade and experienced the midnight releases from Order of the Phoenix onwards. Guess who stayed up all night reading them? That would be me! My all nighters started early…
07. Insignia by SJ Kincaid – My review for this one should be up soon, but I had so much fun reading this book. It.is.awesome.
08. The Fault in Our Stars by John Green – I had only read one other John Green book and it hadn’t quite lived up to my expectations. I randomly picked up this one and fell in love. And sobbed. And was destroyed. But I loved every second of it!
09. Unearthly by Cynthia Hand – Unearthly remains one of the best surprises for me. Despite being 400+ pages, it was not enough!
10. So many other books that I could list here: Vampire Academy books, the Fever series, most of my favorite chick lit reads… I will reserve this spot for what’s to come!
About Stephanie
that’s a fun list of books to spend some time with. kaye—the road goes ever ever on
Ohhh…. I have a lot of these books on my list as well. But I must confess I haven’t read 5 of these books (some of them I haven’t even heard of yet). I have ‘Anna and the French Kiss’ on my shelf waiting for me to read it, but with my 20+ TBR pile, it takes me awhile to get to books sometimes. I have heard great things about it though, so I hope that it can live up to the hype. Thank you for stopping by my blog earlier. I love your blog and your list of books. =D
Great picks! Harry Potter NEARLY made it into mine but I couldn’t choose which book – should probably just have gone for the entire series! Mine is at YA Yeah Yeah if you’d like to check it out.
Hey!! Following! Here’s my TOP TEN:

I completely agree with you about Anna, THG and HP. Twilight unfortunately didn’t do it for me. And I’ll definitely look into some of your other mentions!
Great list of books, I love how you left the last one blank lol I had a hard time choosing only 10. Everyone I know has loved Angelfall I must read it soon!
I need to read Ashes, that’s the only one I haven’t read. :P
Here’s my list;

The Fault in our Stars and Anna and the French Kiss are on my mountainous TBR pile. Here’s my Top Ten. Would love for you to stop by.
Anna, The Hunger Games, Harry Potter and The Fault in Our Stars would probably have been on my list too if I had remembered to make one:P
Lovely list! My favorite, of course, is ANNA AND THE FRENCH KISS, but I’m actually agreeing with most of these (except those that I haven’t read yet :D ). This also reminds me that I’ll need to get to my Kindle copy of ANGELFALL soon. :D
