2025 Big Book Challenge discussion

I'm looking forward to reading some "big books" from my shelves. Here's my list....

BOOKS I HAVE COMPLETED:

1. Texas Gothic by Rosemary Clement-Moore (416 pages)
2. Runner by Thomas Perry (441 pages)
3. Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor (432 pages)
4. Ashes by Ilsa J. Bick (480 pages)
5. outlander by Diana Gabaldon (662 pages)
6. Micro: A Novel by Michael Crichton and Richard Preston (429 pages)
7. The Reef by Nora Roberts (452 pages)

Just finished my first book for the challege! I really enjoyed the book very much and look forward to reading more from this author.

I've finished my second book...Runner (Jane Whitefield #6) by Thomas Perry.

I've noticed that although I've made a list of books to read for the challenge, I've not been very good at following it. I have found that I generally read where my whims take me rather than planning my reads in advance!

Well done Kelly!!! I have found I am doing the same also.... I am reading books that I want to read and hope that it takes me over 400 pages... Quite a few of them now have only been 390 etc pages... :-)

Two more books to add to my list....Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor, and Ashes by Ilsa J. Bick.

Funny but I am involved in a challenge to read 20 books in the month of April. We had to choose them before April and there are points awarded for different tasks. So far I have read 10 of the books and 2 bonus books. There's only 15 days left but at this point I too can't wait to sink my teeth into new choices. BTW - most of my books re from old TBR lists.

That's very ambitious! I don't think I could ever read that many in one month. Good luck!

I'm not sure that I can read that many but it's worth the try.

Finished Outlander by Diana Gabaldon today. I'm re-reading the series in preparation for the new book which will hopefully be released next year. It's been so many years since the start of this series, that its hard to remember the particulars and especially the many characters!

Another one bites the dust.....LOL!

I just finished by Nora Jones. It was good, but not great.
