I used to use my local library all the time when I was in school. Source I even spent every lunchtime in my school's library. My friends and I were pupil librarians and we practically had the run of the whole library. And then, when I started University, the only library I had time for was the University library. And that wasn't an enjoyable experience. However, last summer I started going to my local library again. (I then had to stop again when I got my job.) And unfortunately, I was pretty disappointed. Source The availability sucks. I can deal with books I want that are already out on loan. It's the complete lack of decent books the library has on its system that gets to me. All those months I went to the library last year and I never left with a book that was already on my TBR. I walked around that place looking at my Goodreads trying to find any book on that list. And I couldn't find any at all (except for the Classics). To be honest, I ...
I found The Selection a super quick read too! I didn't enjoy it that much, but I read it in a single sitting.

I definitely enjoyed The Selection the first time I read it, but I reread it last year and didn't like it as much as I thought I did.
DeleteAh The Selection brings back fond memories. Happy reading! My TTT https://readwithstefani.com/romance-books-to-read-in-one-sitting/
ReplyDeleteI know! I remember really liking it back in the day, unfortunately I wasn't as big a fan when I reread last year though.
DeleteAhhh twilight, yes that should have been on my list, I did read that one super quickly. I also loved Animal Farm, so clever! My TTT: https://readingwithkat.wordpress.com/2021/07/20/top-ten-books-i-read-in-one-sitting/
ReplyDeleteI remember I couldn't put Twilight down and did end up rereading as soon as I finished my first read.
DeleteSince I just read 1984, Animal Farm did catch my eye. I'm adding it to my TBR!
ReplyDeleteI've not read 1984, but hopefully I'll get round to it soon. It's been in my bookcase for years!
DeleteI read it in two sittings but Perks was also a very short read for me.

Two sittings is very quick too!
DeleteWarm Bodies was soo good. The proceeding books went darker for some reason.
ReplyDeleteI love Warm Bodies so much. But just didn't enjoy the rest of the series nearly as much. I definitely prefer the humour of the first.
DeleteGreat list of books!

Thanks for visiting!
DeleteI remember Twilight was unputdownable. So was Animal Farm!
ReplyDeleteHere's my Top Ten Tuesday list!
Yeah, I remember being borderline obsessed with Twilight when I read it haha!
DeleteGreat list! I remember getting through Animal Farm really quickly. And of course, Twilight is perfect for nonstop reading!
ReplyDeleteAnimal Farm was a much quicker read than I remembered from my school days. And Twilight is always great when I want a quick read.
DeleteI've read very few vampire novels in my life, but I did race through TWILIGHT when it came out. It was definitely engrossing!
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT!

I'm the same, haven't read too many vampire books, but I read Twilight so quickly and repeatedly when it came out.
DeleteI did not put Twilight on my list but I devoured that series! Thanks for sharing. Here is my list: https://cindysbookcorner.blogspot.com/2021/07/top-ten-tuesday-books-read-in-one.html
ReplyDeleteThe whole series was just such a quick read.
