Hello my dear readers, I welcome you to a post where I will be bragging about the books I own.
I was looking at my shelves last week, and I noticed I had a lot of large hardcover books. (As soon as I wrote that, a good post idea came to mind).
Since it was time for a Top 10 Tuesday, what better way to share my longest books with you, and maybe hear what your longest books are.
Looking through mine, I was surprised how many of my list were actually paperback!
For clarity’s sake, I am only counting the book page count that contains the story. I am not including any indexes, previews for future books, a glossaries, or anything of the sort.
You probably won’t be surprised that this list is basically made up of a small list of authors.
Let’s talk about your longest books in the comments, or send me a message on social media!

I’m not very good at reading long books

They’re tough to get through, and its easy to lose morale when you’re several hundred pages in
