This is part TBR post, part books recommendations. You’ve got a good collection of short stories, contemporaries, thrillers, and even poetry in today’s TTT. Pretty random but great!
TTT is a fun bookish weekly meme created by theartsyreadergirl where you list your top 10s based on a different theme each week. I’ll link up her TTT if you would like to participate or know more.

Books You Can Read in One Day (Or One Setting!)

One of Us is Lying by Karen McManus
Easy read that’ll get you easily mesmerized. I described it as ” A more bloody breakfast club meets pretty little liars YA novel”.

Field Notes on Love by Jennifer E. Smith
This was adorable yet heartfelt at the same time. You have the good feel humor you get in 2000s romcoms but with a little bit of classic romance.

The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
I could read this book again and again, and never tire of it. Brilliant. In short it depicts the human condition through the eyes of our dreamy “hero”.

Ayesha at Last by Uzma Jalaluddin
I recently did a review on this one! My new favorite comfort read with beautiful representation. I loved it so much, and the drama and romance is sure to keep you up all night reading!

A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson
Mysteries are one of the best books to get you both out of a reading slump and make you finish a book in a day. The different media and text formats in the book really changed things for the better.

The Sun and Her Flowers by Rupi Kaur (Or Any poetry book for that matter)
Poetry books are my go to if I wanted to catch up on my Goodreads challenge, but slowly I’m starting to understand them? It’s difficult to explain but I never was into poetry and much preferred prose.

The Ivies by Alexa Donne
One of my favorite reads this year! Utterly addictive and compelling; you won’t be able to put this one down.


The Search by Tiffani Velex
I was approached by the lovely author to review her novella, and I must say I was taken aback. This is a really profound historical fic love story that is inspired by the author’s actual grandmother and grandfather.

The Sun is Also a Star by Nicola Yoon
Nicola Yoon’s writing is unparalleled especially when it comes to star crossed lovers in YA romance. Her novels have a semblance of sorrow but it makes you realize that life is about the simple things. I devoured this in a day.
Great post! I actually did stay up really late reading Ayesha At Last, the drama had me so excited 😅 I agree with you on short story collections, I recently read Once Upon An Eid and it was so sweet and positive!

Right!? You can’t go wrong with Ayesha At Last for a good laugh and total drama. I never read Once Upon An Eid but I’m adding it to the TBR thanks!

The only one I’ve read is The Sun Is Also a Star! I loved that it took place in one day, and everything seemed to happen so fast.

I loved that is was a children’s’ story that is not exactly a children’s’ story? It is a philosophical reflection on the state of human nature and is an allegory to how adults function and live on Earth. The six characters you meet are all reflections to different types of humans you meet on Earth (and you may be even one of them). I love stories like that.
