What book could you not put down and finished in one sitting
I sometimes get stuck in reading slumps with longer books and need quick interesting reads to help me get back to reading. I prefer thrillers and horror but honestly I'm down to read anything that'll have me glued to the pages
Recently completed reading White Nights and The Metamorphosis in one sitting. But later, i started Notes from the underground, struck in the 7th chapter. It’s been 1 week since i touched it again.

two sittings technically, but we have always lived in the castle. Great with the audiobook as a read-along

The Maid by Nita Prose
All Systems Red by Martha Wells, this one is sci fi but pretty short and engaging
Confessions by Kanae Minato
And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie

The Chosen: Part Two by Isaac Rivera. A rollercoaster of a ride that novel. Starts off with a bang, then slows down a bit and then action throughout.

White Oleander by Janet Fitch. I love Astrid, the main character.

The Crying of Lot 49 by Thomas Pynchon. It’s pretty short (like 150 pages) but it’s so dense there’s more going on in that book than in most 500 page books. It’s about a housewife in 1960s California (when the book was written) who gets sucked into investigating a conspiracy involving a multiple hundreds of years old feud between two secret societies of mail carriers. Pynchon’s writing is pretty polarizing though; you either fall in love with it or want to throw it on a burning pile and never hear it spoken of again so keep that in mind I suppose.

Obedience by Will Lavender
Not the best by any means, but I just had to know what was happening.
Only book I every finished in one seating without deciding beforehand that’s what I was going to do

The Manual of Detection by Jedediah Berry. It’s a quirky book that not a lot of people know. It has, over the years become my goto comfort read.

No Exit by Taylor Adams
This is my go-to book recommendation but fits here perfectly! It’s fast paced and manages to keep that pace once it gets going and makes you want to keep finding out what will possibly happen next

So Long a Letter by Mariama Bâ. Such a little book but impactful one that seems to just resonate with me.

To my own surprise: If We Were Villains by M.L. Rio. It was a bit out of my comfort zone / not the type of book I usually read, but for some reason I couldn’t put it down AT ALL. I finished it at around 5am (I was so tired and my eyes were burning, but I just couldn’t bring myself to stop) and was only saved by the fact that it was the weekend 😂

The lost symbol by Dan Brown. I didn’t even have an intention to read it, i just wanted to read first few pages to see what it’s like and before you know it it was night and i finished it.
