Big Books| 2019 Reading Challenge


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?

  1. 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!

    1. I am hoping to listen to them as audiobooks, I think that will make them seem less daunting since they are such big books!

  2. 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
