Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. Each week there is a new topic for bloggers to choose and list their top ten. This week’s theme is Top TEN Longest Books I’ve Read.
1-4. Game of Thrones series by George R.R. Martin
Game of Thrones- 848 page, A Clash of Kings- 784 pages, A Storm of Swords- 1177 pages, A Feast For Crows- 1061 pages.
5-7. Outlander by Diana Gabaldon
Outlander- 850 pages, Dragonfly In Amber- 743 pages, Voyager 870 pages
6. World Without End by Ken Follett
I know that this is book 2 but you don’t really need to read them in order. Anyways, I loved this book so much. I have these books and the Century Trilogy but haven’t read them. I need to change that! This is 1014 pages.
7-9. Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling
Goblet of Fire- 734 pages, Order of the Phoenix- 870 pages, Deathly Hallows-759 pages
I remember that I was surprised how big some of the later books were! Especially, since at the Library they are in Juvenile Fic and Teen!
10. City of Heavenly Fire by Cassandra Clare
This book is a monster, especially for YA. It comes in at 725 pages!
I know there’s probably some books that I haven’t thought of that are big but this is what I’ve thought of today. I really need to make my big books a priority next year! What are some big books that you’ve read?
Wow! I’m amazed that you have read Game of Thrones and Outlander.. they are long! I have only read Harry Potter from your list 🙂

When you think about it, some of those HP books are so big. I’m actually wondering how this will translate to the illustrated editions they’ve been putting out.

Yeah, I know. I have been wondering that since the release of the first one. Have you read or looked at the illustrated ones? I haven’t yet but they are huge!

I have the first three! They are heavy books. I can only imagine what the 4th will be like.

I actually got them as Christmas gifts. I think they are beautiful, not necessarily to read, but to collect.

Oh, I agree on Heavenly Fire. It took me forever to finish it.

lol! Yeah, they take some time but they are all worth it! A World Without End is really good. It was recommended but I didn’t think I would like it. I gave it 5 stars!

Wow, that’s super awesome that you read those books! I usually get intimidated when books are over 400 pages or so, LoL. I think the longest books I read were maybe Big Little Lies and You, they were around a little more than 400 pages. New reading goal for this year- read a book with more pages than I usually read. I’ve been wanting to watch the Netflix series Alias Grace, but I still haven’t read the book cause it seems so long. I probably would have read it by now otherwise, LoL. Definitely a book I hope to try and read soon.

I totally understand that. I get intimated by them too. I have so many that I own and want to read but they just look so huge. I’ve found a trick that has helped me a lot. I usually set a limit number of pages to read each week. I usually do 100 pages a week. I read it, while reading other books. This way though, I get that big book out of the way in a few weeks! I usually will become interested and keep reading more. Sometimes, if I have a lot of time that week, I’ll read 100 pages a day!! You could do 50 pages a day or a week… It just helps me not feel so overwhelmed by the page count! So sorry that this got so long. haha. I hope you meet that goal!! You can do it. 🙂

LoL, that’s okay. Thanks for the reading tips. I’ll see if I can stick to that 50 pages a day for my next reading book venture, LoL. I usually only read 10 pages at a time cause of that overwhelming my brain feels by the number of pages, LoL. The 50 pages a day reading goal is definitely a reading goal I hope to keep in the new year =).
