Book Review: 11/22/63 by Stephen King

I was hoping to get this book done in October, because I had assumed it was going to be more of a horror, but a part of me is glad I didn't get to it because it is more of a historical fantasy. I also had no idea how long it was until I got …

Book Review: Les Miserables by Victor Hugo

This book is the longest one I have ever read, sitting at early 1,500 pages. It kind of feels like reading five similar books back to back, and reading it in about two weeks like I did felt a bit overwhelming. It's a lot to take in, and I'm still processing my thoughts on it. …

The Top 10 Longest Books I Own

I love lists, and I was gazing lovingly upon at my bookshelf the other day when I had this sudden urge to figure out which books I own that are the longest (I know, I am weird). So today I'm going to show you the top 10 longest books I own. Also, I'm going purely …

5 Weeks, 5 Tomes: Week 5 Update

So, here I am, finally done with this challenge. On one hand, I'm glad to be done because my life has been so busy the last few weeks (both with the holidays and with selling my house). On the other hand, I did really enjoy the three books I managed to finish. The final book …

Book Review: Great Expectations by Charles Dickens

I love Charles Dickens, but I have always had a negative view of this book through watching a couple adaptations of it growing up. For one, I hate the idea of a romance centering around a foolish man in love with a cruel woman. It's one of the main reasons I did not like reading …

5 Weeks, 5 Tomes: Week 4

So here I am again (you thought I gave up, but never!). Though I do return in mostly failure. This week I did finish an entire book. I decided to reread North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell (as you probably already saw from my review of it earlier today). I read the entire book this …

5 Weeks, 5 Tomes: Week 3

So...this week didn't go so well with this challenge. I didn't finish any more books, and I ended up DNFing two I was going to read. Terrier by Tamora Pierce goes straight into my DNF pile. I got about fifty pages in and I realized I could not stand Beka, the protagonist. I used to …

5 Weeks, 5 Tomes: Week 2

We (and as in we, I mean me) are two weeks into this challenge! And I'm still ridiculously behind schedule. I should have finished my second book last night, but I'm only a fifth of the way into the second book. However, I did get a bunch of reading done, which is nice. I finished …

5 Weeks, 5 Tomes Challenge

So, apparently there is a thing on Booktube (YouTube for books) called Tome Topple. It takes place from Nov. 16th to Nov. 29th. For more information, here's a link to the original video. Now, I love the idea of this challenge of reading only books over 500 pages. However, I didn't like the time limit …
