Recent books you read in one sitting

[Anonymous]

My most recent is The Tattooist. Right before that was What My Bones Know: A Memoir on Healing from Complex Trauma by Stephanie Foo (which was an amazing read and I absolutely recommend. I could relate so much).

There's just something about reading the books that compel you to read them all at once!

I also could not put down What My Bones Know. I couldn’t put down Complicit.

I have rarely done this one sitting thing. Maybe Stephen King's The Stand (a whole week sitting) and The Lovely Bones back in the 90s.

Hidden Pictures - thriller about a unique little boy

I'm Happy My Mom Died

Both books are what I call "easy readers". Short chapters, good story line, simple subject matter.

I'm not that sure that really counts. A week isn't one sitting.

My favorite Stephen King book, though. Liked the shorter version better.

The book is over 1000 pages. It counts.

Again? Oh my god, who is this nit picky person critiquing the meaning the topic? Just let us post. Or better yet, answer the question.

The closest I've gotten in recent memory is Daisy Jones and the Six in one weekend flat, summer before last.

I think I read Moo Baa La La La like 7 times on Saturday. Does that count?

No bc you were probably held hostage by a one year old.

Anything by KJ Charles. Ducks by Kate Beaton. Prairie Lotus by Linda Sue Park (this one is a YA and it was very much one sitting — I didn’t even stop to pee 😆).

I did this once - when I read Othello the first time. It was like an action thriller on paper. So good.

No One Is Talking About This by Patricia Lockwood. It was a very interesting dystopian story written in a style mimicking the distractions of social media.

Not quite one sitting, but I found Pretty Things by Janelle Brown pretty page-turnery. It's about running a grift on an influencer, but teases out some complicated social dynamics.
