This summer I'm joining other readers who plan to read some weighty
tomes. The challenge begins at the end of May and continues through to the
Labour Day weekend. The only rule is that the book has to be at least 400
pages. You can read as many or as few books as you want.
You can find out more about this challenge at Sue Jackson's blog, Book By Book.
I went through my Goodreads list and found a few that fit this
description and so here I am again. At first my list had way too many books. I
eliminated those that were not already on my Mustread list for this year. I figure I might as well double up and make gains on a couple of challenges for one book. My list is still too long, but if I can read at least 4 of these books this
summer I'll be ahead of the game. I've already finished one, so who knows? I
might even read more!

Welcome to the Big Book Summer Challenge, Cheriee! So glad to have you back for more fun this year. That's a great list of Big Books to choose from! I have a never-ending pile here too :)
ReplyDeletePlease add your link to the first Links List on the challenge page so that others can find their way to your post, too. And if you write reviews or updates during the summer, you can return to the page to add a link to the second list. (Note that I've noticed the Links List have been very slow-loading on my browser this summer - if that's happening to you, too, just be patient and give it a few minutes - they'll show up).
Enjoy your Big Books!
Sue

I tend to make big lists too. I love making lists as much as I love reading books. Good luck getting 4 of these read, that's a doable goal I hope. I have read two so far which is good for me, I'm on a roll so hope I can keep it going!
