I'd always get into that reading flow of not putting a book down with anything by John Green. Most recently a book that I sat down and read in one day was "Milkweed" by Jerry Spinelli. It was pretty good and pretty short.

There is nothing wrong with reading a book per day. That just shows that you are a very skilled reader. :D

Well, depending on your priorities... I usually read up to 2 books a day, especially now that I'm having my holidays.

I do not see anything bad in it... I would like to finish books in one day, but sometimes I do not have the time, other times I don't have the patience : P

I often read books in one day. Usually such books are either really interesting or really bad (or I'm reading them for a purpose - like an assignment). However, I also read multiple books at a time, which slows me down a bit. Someday I aspire to have better uses for my time that actually interact with real people more, but for now, I'm making the best of my situation, and having the chance to read so much is wicked fun.

Can't stop reading cozy mysteries! I'm reading one at night and listening to one during the day. Between the library and Kindle I'm set for months.

I have done this quite frequently and often times, I am sad because I got really into the book only for it to end. :/

I read the Humger Games and Catching Fire In one day. Separate times of course! It was unintentional. The books are a fast read. It did not feel like I read a book for 10 straight hours! haha

It's not bad at all. If it is, well heck, then I'm guilty. :lol: I was able to read the Nightshade trilogy in almost three days. That's about a book a day, isn't it? :wink:

Oh yes, done this countless times. I'm good at reading fast, and when a book is really great, I just lose myself in it and have to keep on reading it nonstop til the end.

Sometimes I get so caught up in the book that I can't help but read it all in one day. Especially in the summer. I finished The Fault in Our Stars in one day. I also finished If I Stay and the sequel, Where She Went in about a day. It's so easy to get sucked into the story, and before you know it it's over!

I do this very often. I don't consider it bad because if you love the book so dearly, why on earth should you stop? I have read TFIOS in one day, along with City of Bones and the others that followed. I think it's great that you connect with a book so much you can't wait to finish it.
Happy One Day Reading !
