One of my goals in 2018 was to tackle those big books that intimidate me from my bookshelves. 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.Well I did not manage to read any of the books I included in my Big Book 2018 Goal list and only was able to complete 2 other books over 500 pages in the year 2018. 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.Again I want to attempt to read 6 Big Books in 2019! Here are some of the big books I own and really want to try to get to in this next year, some of them are repeats from the list last 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!
» Cress by Marissa Meyer {552 pages}
( I need to continue on with these series so bad, I have been putting it off too long and now own all of the books in the series)
» A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas {626 pages}
( Another series I need to continue with, I also need to start the Throne of Glass series.)
» 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 Well of Ascension by Brandon Sanderson {781 pages}
( Starting to see a pattern? Another series I need to continue. I have been craving a good fantasy and there are so many books Brandon Sanderson puts out that I am so far behind.)
» Stray by Rachel Vincent {618 pages}
( I have started collecting so many paranormal series that I need to start working through. I need more paranormal romances in my life!)
» Blood Song by Anthony Ryan {591 pages}
(This is a book I have been intrigued by since I first picked it up. I have not heard much about this book which makes me want to read it even more!)
» Defy The Stars by Claudia Gray {503 pages}
( I have been wanting to read more sci-fi and haven’t heard much on this book)
» The Tiger’s Daughter by K Arsenault Rivera { 526 pages}
(I have been dying to read this even since I heard about it and I am so intrigued by the story.)
What are some big books you need to read or want to read in 2019! Have you read any of these? Which should I start with?

I’ve only read Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix from this list and I would definitely recommend reading it! Even though the last three HP books are long they are fairly easy to read!
I am hoping to listen to them as audiobooks, I think that will make them seem less daunting since they are such big books!
Great challenge, I’m sure you will ace it and I hope you enjoy all of these 🙂
Thank you! I really hope to get to at least some of them since I did not last year.
You’re welcome and I’m sure you will 🙂
Good luck!! I’m also trying to get through some big books too. Renegades and Archenemies by Meyer and The Way of Kings by Sanderson! I really hope I can do it. lol
Good luck to you are well! The Way of Kings is a huge book
