Top Ten Tuesday-Chunkster Books

Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is: Books with a High Page Count (Share those doorstop books!) I think "high" page count is subjective, so I am going to go with 400+ pages as those are books that count toward the "Big Book Challenge" and the limit of what some of my book club members will read for our meetings. So, let's see what I come up with today, I know I don't read as many chunkster books as I used to. I did not include anthologies or Bibles in my list. Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl and you can head over there to see what our other bookish friends are up to today.   

Top Ten Tuesday-Chunkster books I have read and enjoyed

North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell 521 pages 3-star read-not sure I should say I "enjoyed" this one or not.

North and South

Title: North and South

Author: Elizabeth Gaskell

Publisher: Penguin Books

Genre: Classic, Historical Fiction, Victorian era, romance

Source: Kindle Own

My Review:

I finally did it! I finally read North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell!! Did I love it? No. Did I hate it? No. It had an interesting storyline that kept me invested. I did, at times, feel the length of the novel and felt it could have been shorter, LOL!

Top Ten Tuesday-Summer Reading Plan 2024

Happy Tuesday, my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is Books on My Summer 2024 To-Read List.  I haven't been doing lists like this this year, just trying to mostly go with the flow. However, I do have some ARCs I have signed up for and a few books I would like to get to (I won't include the two ARCs I am currently reading). So, let's see what the plan should be 😉 Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl and you can head over there to see what our other bookish friends are up to today. 

Top Ten Tuesday-Forgotten Books

 Happy Tuesday, my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday is books I meant to read in 2023 and didn't get to. This is definitely one of the easier topics, but I'm not sure I want to know, LOL!

Here are my forgotten books:

 

Stacking the Shelves #96, Sunday Post #93, Sunday Salon #87

Hey bookish friends! How are you all doing? I had a another busy week, which did not allow for much reading. I was in TN watching my niece last weekend, and headed back to Indiana on Tuesday to take my mom home. I got back to my house around noon on Wednesday. I have a sewing class this afternoon, so I spent part of the morning finalizing that, then we are putting up our Christmas tree this evening. We usually put it up Thanksgiving, but this year we will be in VA. When do you put your tree up? This introvert is completely wiped out. What are your plans for the weekend?
