The Book Thief is a great book. I hope you’ll enjoy it like I did. 🙂
Good luck, Dar!
I’m passing on the Butterfly Award to you : )
That’s a lot of big books, Dar! Good luck!!
Lezlie
Hmmm… I am embarrassed to say that I have not read any of these! ;~}
The Book Thief is a great book. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it.
War and Remembrance and Sophie’s Choice are on my list for the WWII challenge. I didn’t know War and Remembrance was THAT long when I put it there 😉
That’s quite a list. Hope that eye is feeling better.
I’m jumping on the bandwagon with Mary and giving you the Butterfly Award too! My post is here.
I don’t think I can handle this one this year. Good luck, Dar!
Josette, I’ve heard so many good things about The Book Thief. I’m looking forward to finally getting to it this year.
Mary, thanks and thanks for the award. I appreciate it.
Lezlie, yup it is. They’re all in my other challenges. And I think I’m going to get to 100 books this year. lol. One of those is about 3 normal books.
Wendy, I haven’t read them yet either so don’t feel bad.
Alessandra, I knew War and REmembrance was big but didn’t know how big until I put it on this chunkster challenge list. Wowser!
Hey Janel, yup it’s quite the list. Thanks for the award. I appreciate it so much.
Nymeth, not sure I can either. I’ve probably bitten off more than I can chew but we’ll see. They overlap in all other challenges so that’s a plus. I didn’t realize that some of these were that big truthfully.
Wow Dar – that is a lot of chunky books! Good Luck!
I’m reading the Outlander books too this year, and they are definitely long! I’ll probably be signing up for this challenge tomorrow.
Luanne, it really looks bad down where I can see it. lol.
Alyce, I saw today that you’ll be reading the Outlander series. It’ll be fun reading them together. They are big though, aren’t they.
I broke down and joined this one too. I hope you enjoy your reading choices!
The Outlander books will move very quickly, even though they are big. I enjoyed almost all of them, the exception being Fiery Cross. I haven’t read Snow and Ashes yet. Maybe later this year.
Good luck!
Jenny Girl, I read Outlander years ago and remember it moving well but I need a refresher. What was different about Fiery Cross that you didn’t like as much I wonder.
