One of the things I really want to focus on this year is big books. I have included it in my bookish bucket list for the past few years and will be included again for 2018. I consider a big book to be 500 + pages. This has been a struggle that I have faced every year because big books intimidate me because they take a lot of time and dedication.You have to be in the mood for it and know it will take a few weeks to finish. I own a lot of them and many of them I have heard nothing, but awesome things about. All of the big books I have taken the time to read I have not been disappointed with. So I want to put this out into the blogosphere that I want to read at least 6 Big Books in 2018! Here are some of the big books I own and really want to try to get to in this next year. Obviously this list is more than 6 and some are in a series with other books that belong in that series that also have more than 500 pages. These are just some of the top ones I really need to be getting to very soon!
» Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy {864 pages} (I started this a long time ago and got halfway through but never finished it)
» Cress by Marissa Meyer {552 pages} ( I need to continue on with these series so bad)
» A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas {626 pages} ( Another series I need to continue with)
» Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by J.K Rowling {870 pages} ( I know how can I not have read this yet. I need to finish reading this series)
» The Republic of Thieves by Scott Lynch {726 pages} ( I have been holding off on reading this book because I have been waiting for the release of the 4th book)
» The Well of Ascension by Brandon Sanderson {781 pages} ( Starting to see a pattern? Another series I need to continue)
» Americanah by Chimsmsnfs Ngozi Adichie {589 pages} (I started this a few years ago and some stuff happened and I never continued)
» Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss {662 pages} ( This is one I have been meaning to read for so long)

Cress! Yes! I have a big baddie on my TBR as well! Sleeping Beauties is like over 1000? I want to read it and IT so, let’s see if I have time to read anything else this year! Hahaha. Have you ever tried audiobooks? That helped me get through The Gunslinger by Stephen King this past summer
I have started listening to more audiobooks this year, but I am really picky about what audiobook I listen to. I have a hard time listening to really long books and books that are fantasy/paranormal.
Name of the Wind and Anna Karenina. Yessss
Big books are SO intimidating! I’m going to try to read The Unconsoled by Kazuo Ishiguro as part of my 2018 reading challenge… I’m pretty excited! Good luck on your reading list!
Big books are on my agenda too. Re-read Anna Karenina, read Shantaram and One hundred years of solitude.
I highly recommend you finish Cress and Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Cress is an outstanding novel, and I flew through it in two sittings. The page numbers might be daunting, but the story itself is pretty enticing and exciting. I love the Harry Potter series, but will admit it took me a little while to finish the OoTP. After that one, the last two HP books aren’t quite as long. Happy reading! 🙂
