Hello readers! Today I am bringing you a weekly meme that I have seen a few people do. It is called Top 5 Saturday and was created by Devouring Books. I’m so excited to start doing this each week, and I hope you all are as well. This weeks prompt was either the top 5 biggest books on your TBR or the biggest that you have read.
My Dad bought me this book for Christmas one year. I remember getting this book and thinking I would never actually read it. However, my Dad passed away when I was 20 ( I’m currently 27), and I never wanted to unhaul it because of that. This book is 1,232 pages! I had the urge to pick it up at the end of 2019, and vigorously read it for the last 12 days of the year. I LOVE this book. If you love books that take place over the entire period of someone’s life, like I do, this would be for you!
I have read It by Stephen King quite a few times in my life, and would love to do so again. The biggest copy I read by him was 1,166 pages. If you are looking to get into SK, I wouldn’t start here, however, I do think it is well worth the read if you love big books or Stephen King books in general.
I read this book back in September of 2020, and it is 1,007 pages. I am hoping to catch up on this series this year, and the books only get longer and longer. I tried to dive into this book with the audiobook, and I had a hard time reading it. I decided to pick up a copy and read it with my eyes, and I HIGHLY recommend doing that. This is one of the only books I have ever read that I did color coded annotations, and it was really fun to do so!
I really don’t like bring up Harry Potter, but book 5 is the 4th largest book I’ve ever read. My copy is 870 pages. Like a lot of us readers, I grew up loving HP. I saw every movie in theatre with a ton of my family. However, I didn’t read the HP books until I was an adult. Ironically, I HATED the 5th movie, but I think book 5 was one of my favorites in the series.
11/22/63 is a scifi book about a guy who goes back in time and saves JFK from being assassinated. It’s 849 pages and if you don’t want to tread through this giant book, I would recommend the TV show on Hulu! It’s a pretty good adaptation on the book, and is only one season, so not much commitment. This is definitely one of Kings best works, in my opinion.
Happy blogging and bookish adventures! 📚🦒✨
