Have you read one of these books?
What did you think?
I have to really be in the mood to tackle a big book these days, it takes a good bit of commitment to read one especially if you know there are more of equal length in the series.
I loved Fairytale Sheri, the only book on your list that I have read. It certainly didn’t feel like 600+ pages and I read it over a week. 💕📚
I do love a nice chunky book every so often. I really enjoyed Fairy Tale and the Karen Miller trilogy too. I couldn’t get on with the Marlon James book though. I have to be in the right mood for a really long book though as sometimes, they can feel a bit intimidating. I’ve started to make a note of page lengths of the books on my Net Galley shelf as that helps me to decide what to read next.
These look very interesting! I call the long books “wrist breakers” from the strain of holding them up as I read feverishly for hours… Look forward to your reviews.
