TOP TEN TUESDAY: Books I Would Read in One Sitting (if I had the time)

Yes. I know it’s Wednesday. Yesterday was Tuesday.

I’m still doing the Tuesday book meme.

I regularly forget about the great Top Ten Tuesday topics at That Artsy Reader Girl. The site is a treasure trove of topics for book bloggers to discuss.

I keep meaning to read books in one sitting but haven’t quite succeeded. I have a lot going on these days.

If I had a huge block of time and the necessary focus, these are the books I would prioritize.

Hamnet by Maggie O’Farrell

Plague novel about Shakespeare’s family?

Heck, I’d read that!

I mean, I bought it, so…logically it follows that I would read it!

That’s what one does with books they buy, surely!

I Think I Love You by Auriane Desombre

Sapphic enemies-to-lovers romance based on Much Ado About Nothing.

I’m a goner.

Meet Cute Club by Jack Harbon

Slim m/m romance with a pink cover.

IT SEEMS LIKE SOMETHING I COULD READ IN AN AFTERNOON.

AND YET.

HERE WE ARE.

The Crying Book by Heather Christle

I spent at least an hour at Auntie’s Bookstore in Spokane trying to decide which books I couldn’t live without.

I’d finalized my choices, then I saw this book on the New in Paperback table.

It sounds like the kind of squishy nonfiction fiction I enjoy.

I should have put this in my Crying Book Tag.

Everyone Knows Your Mother Is a Witch by Rivka Galchen

I don’t know why I’ve been so enamored with this time period of late.

I am heading to Renn Faire soon; that could be part of it.

I know I’m into this book’s BRIGHT PURPLE COVER.

It’s quite pleasing.

Hola Papi! by John Paul Brammer

A series of essays by a gay author!

A healthy smattering of jokes!

A colorful cover!

I expect this will make my Top 10 Favorite Books list this year.

I’m very excited.

This Will Be My Undoing by Morgan Jerkins

This book is tantalizingly slim.

I put it on my Seattle Public Library Book Bingo as motivation, I guess.

This summer I will read this, by golly.

Anne of Green Gables by L. M. Montgomery

This book STOLE MY HEART when I was but a wee babe.

Anne is my friend and I love her.

The story relaxes me. I would really like to reread it soon.

Peter Pan by J. M. Barrie

This is another comfort read of mine that I haven’t read in years.

Neverland might be my favorite fictional universe, brutality and all.

I used to listen to a fantastic audiodrama version of this story.

Man, I miss Neverland a lot! I need to go back!

One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston

It’s been three months since I read this book and I can’t stop thinking about it.

I can’t focus on any of the other books I’m reading – all I want is OLS.

I want to set aside time to reread this beautiful novel.

I need sapphic time travel and found family.

I would also like an egg sandwich.

Specifically, a Su Special.

This is my prospective TBR.

Will I read any of these books in the coming months?

PROBABLY NOT.

I’m in a slump right now. Pray for me.
