Mdargusch @Tanisha_A I haven‘t read Fountainhead but Atlas Shrugged certainly is interestingly prophetic. 5y

Mdargusch I feel like there wasn‘t such a huge number of books written back in those days @Melissa_J or else we all just read the same thing. 🤷🏼‍♀️ 5y

Mdargusch Seriously! @Cinfhen and I never gave it a second thought about reading a chunkster back in the old days. (edited) 5y

LeahBergen Yep! 5y

minkyb Almost coffee table height @Cinfhen 😂😍😘‼️ 5y

Reviewsbylola Most of those look well loved. ♥️ 5y

emilyhaldi Diggin that edition of Atlas Shrugged ❤️ 5y

Megabooks Books were bigger then! 5y

The Letters of Sylvia Plath Volume 1: 1940-1956 | Sylvia Plath

Quote from Frieda Hughes to start this book. Finally started this - my shoulder will be aching carrying this about this week!! It‘s a rather large book.

Cinfhen Oh God!!! It must be #SuperChunky if you are calling it rather large 😂 (edited) 6y

TrishB @LeahBergen sometimes I need to remind myself that they were someone‘s parents 😔 It‘s easy to look in from the outside and be fascinated. Living with that legacy. 6y

Leftcoastzen Wow incredible quote, getting ready to start this brick as well. 6y

TrishB @Leftcoastzen been on the pile for a while and today suddenly said hello read me!! 6y

Cinfhen 😱😱😱😱😱 @minkyb 6y

batsy Such a poignant quote. 6y

Centique Wow! I thought I had read this but it turned out mine was the edited down version. Would love to hear what you think of this huge edition! 6y

TrishB @Centique I‘ve read the previous version too- hadn‘t realised how edited it was until I got this one! 6y

Centique @TrishB that‘s so interesting to hear! I‘m going to have to read this I see 👍 6y

minkyb I love that Trish is posting her own #BigBookAlerts. 1,400 pages of Sylvia Plath is heavy indeed! 6y

TrishB @minkyb it definitely is! 6y

Richryan52 Thanks for the like. I hope you‘ll consider backing it 6y

minkyb @Cinfhen Glad you are on the job! I have been spotty in my Litsying. Bridal shower this past weekend. Wedding coming up. My reading is suffering. 6y

A Column of Fire | Ken Follett

If real life didn‘t happen I would have finished this today! Family stuff to do and work week to get ready for! Some so-so reviews for this , but have to say I‘m loving it!! Looking forward to the rest of it tomorrow.

Andrew65 I loved it too, but a different feel to the first two books. Life does have a way of getting in the way! 6y

Mdargusch So close! That real life stuff always gets in the way. 😫 6y

minkyb She is incorrigible! 😂 @Cinfhen 6y

TrishB @Andrew65 it‘s a great read 👍🏻 6y

TrishB @Mdargusch first time kids have been home together tonight so we caught up on some Grey‘s. It was nice to sit down together for a change ❤️ I did look at my book a couple of times.... 6y

TrishB @Cinfhen @minkyb I didn‘t enjoy my last chunkster - but this is awesome 😁 could be double the size! 6y

Cinfhen Ken Follet is a master storyteller 🙌🏻and hurray for family time 💖 6y

Oathbringer | Brandon Sanderson

#currentread
This is my long weekend read - been waiting for a chance when I may have a few hours a day! Didn‘t want to be carrying it back and forth to work.
1233 pages @Cinfhen #bigbookmonitor

Sophoclessweetheart Enjoy!! Xx 6y

Cinfhen Thank you 🙏🏻 I‘ve been slacking at my monitoring duties 😘😘😘 6y

JoRead I added this series to my TBR only because Henry Cavill aka Superman posted about it 😅😆 6y

LoverofLit I'm so excited to find time to read his third installment of this series! The end of that first book and the whole second book was unputdownable! 6y

TrishB @JoRead it‘s brilliant! 6y

TrishB @LoverofLit it has a lot to live up to to be as good as the second one! One of the best in a fantasy series! 6y

TrishB @Wanderingwithwords 👍🏻 6y

Ddzmini What are the other books in this series 😝 6y

Titania Your cover is so much better than my son's cover! 6y

TrishB @Ddzmini The Way of Kings and Words of Radiance are the first two. Can highly recommend if you like fantasy 👍🏻 6y

TrishB @Titania I much prefer the UK covers for these! I didn‘t realise it was signed until I got it off the pile. It was a present off hubby - don‘t know if he knew! 6y

Titania @TrishB I agree! The US fantasy covers are so cheesy and cringe worthy. The UK covers are always so much more slick and appealing. 6y

Ddzmini Thank you @TrishB 6y

Fortunes of War: The Balkan Trilogy | Olivia Manning

#MarchIntoOz #TheHoneymoonIsOver

The honeymoon didn't last long for Guy and Harriet Pringle. This edition doubly relevant since Ken and Em met on the set of the TV adaptation. I'm playing catch up because I really want to do all of this challenge!

Cinfhen, Lizpixie

batsy This series is so amazing 💜 I really need to read the books. 6y

Cinfhen @minkyb this book is a hidden surprise 924 pages😱 #BigBookMonitor #Alert 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 6y

CarolynM @Cinfhen To be fair there are 3 novels in there so that's only 308 pages each😂 6y

MayJasper @Meg11726 I also have the third to read. Much to look forward to 💙 6y

Cinfhen #BigBookMonitor Alert 🚨🚨🚨#pagecountphobia but maybe one day 😁 6y

MayJasper #cinfhen yes it's a chunkster ❣ but there is something special that I can't put my finger on about

Pillars of the Earth

Blaire I loved pillars of the earth. It‘s big but a page turner so actually reads really fast. I never did get to the other two - not sure why. 6y

ReadingRuby I bought Pillars of the Earth years ago, but it‘s still too daunting... maybe next year 6y
