Welcome to Litsy!

This #chunkster is my current book before bed. Since it‘s 1000 pages long, and I only read for a short time before falling asleep (I‘m not a stay up all night and read type of gal - I need my sleep!), I‘ll probably be reading this for a good long time.

A chonky book by an author who shares my birthday, originally written in a different language, and clearly more than 300 pages.

Really really excellent. Sci-fi meets historic fiction (and it's pretty light on the sci-fi aspect for the majority of the book), not the typical King at all, but, like most of his work, a real suck-you-in page-turner. Took me a while to get through this #chunkster but I thoroughly enjoyed every minute.
King talks about the research that went into it in the Afterword and man, what a project!
Highly recommend. Don't let the size scare you off!

Just call me The Bailer. I have no qualms about bailing on books I‘m not enjoying, even if they are the final book in a series. With respect to this series, it really should have been a trilogy. By this fourth book, which is a major #chunkster, I was beyond bored! The characters are all annoying as heck, and I care not one bit about how their stories turn out 🤷🏻‍♀️

This is a major #chunkster. 45 hours of listening. But it‘s divided into three books, so I‘m not sure I‘ll plow through it all at once. It‘s my pick for #publicdomain #booked2019 and #readingwomen #translatedbefore1945. #currentlyreading #currentlylistening

This book was splendid! It's a #chunkster, but I could hardly put it down. There's so much more insight into how the relationship between Diana and Matthew unfolds than what the tv series shows (of course!). In fact I'm finally understanding many aspects of some of the show's scenes now that I've read the book. 😁 This history nuggets implanted in the book are delightful to this history nut! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I have been taken a break from social media because we've been busy busy busy the last month, but there's always time for books.
I'm working my way through the "A song of ice and fire" series for the #ATY2019 and my own #chunkster challenge. I've read them 7 years ago, but they are definitely word a reread!

I just found out Amazon is producing a Wheel of Time show! I think that means I really need to get started reading them. I‘ve been meaning to read them for 20 years but I‘m always too daunted by the sheer volume to launch in #wheeloftime #chunkster

I managed to finish this #chunkster - the last book in Follett‘s Century Trilogy - earlier today. Although the book is 1100 pages, it reads relatively quickly. Follett covers an awful lot of ground here, tackling the watershed events of the 1960s to 1980s in the US, Germany and the Soviet Union. I was already familiar with the history, having studied the Cold War-era extensively in school, but I enjoyed Follett‘s take on it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

One moon in 1984, two moons in 1Q84. Odd things happen. Is it a parallel or alternate reality? Murakami takes the reader through 925 pages to try to figure it out. Murakami is surreal as usual. Maybe a little longer than it needed to be, but I still liked this!
