You can find out more about this challenge at Sue Jackson's blog, Book By Book.
I went to my 2018 list to see what I hadn't finished and these became the base for this year. Then I added a few more books, and presto my big book list is complete. Some of these books are also on my MustReadIn2019 list, but I figure I might as well double up and make gains on a couple of challenges for one book. My goal is to read at least 4 of these books this summer. I've already finished one, so who knows? I might even read more!

Great list, Cheriee. I'm reading On The Come Up now. It is a big book but I'm moving right along. It's good!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the Big Book Summer Challenge, Cheriee! I;m so glad you joined the fun again this year!
ReplyDeleteAnd, wow, what a collection of awesome Big Books you have to choose from! On the Come Up and The Hunting Accident were both excellent (and The Hunting Accident is pretty quick for a Big Book, since it is a graphic novel).
But you also have one of my (and my husband's) favorite books ever on your list. You must read Wool! It is SO good! As are its two sequels. Totally original & compelling story - gripping.
Enjoy your Big Books!

2019 Big Book Summer Challenge
Wool is on my list because you and all the other people who have read it lauded it so much last year! I didn't know that The Hunting Accident was a graphic novel. Does it still count?
