Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018!
Hey, friends! Oh my gosh, I love this week’s topic so much! I’ve read a lot of SFF in my day, which means I’ve inadvertently read some big tomes along the way! And this was so much fun to sort on my Goodreads read shelf, and see what books were the biggest ones I’ve read! And I’ll be honest, I feel like I deserve a gold star at the very least! 📚🍂

1243 pages
➽ Words of Radiance (The Stormlight Archive #2) by Brandon Sanderson
1087 pages
➽ Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell

➽ A Dance with Dragons (A Song of Ice and Fire #5) by George R.R. Martin

Okay, friends! There you have it! What is the biggest book that you’ve read? Have you read any of the ten that I have? I’d like to take a moment and thank Brandon Sanderson and GRRM! Haha! I hope you’re all having a wonderful week, and I’m wishing you happy reading always! 🍁📖

I read all the Game of Thrones, all of the Outlander series, and Patrick Rothfuss. I’m pretty sure the 3rd or 4th Outlander book was +1400 pages, so that would be my number one.
I’m still reading Mistborn… the version I have is books 1-3 but I don’t know if that counts.
Actually, now that I’m thinking about it… the Sherlock Holmes collection I read two years ago was over 2k, and the bible which took me 5 years and felt like a million pages.
Did you have to look at each book to figure out the page numbers or is there an easy way to do it?

Oh gosh… like.. I read it LAST year and I’ve never watched the show, so there is no “nostalgia factor” tied to my review. Honestly? If you like history, you’ll probably like it. I was so impressed how much work Diana actually put into a book that’s older than me! Haha! BUT IT HAS GOT THE SIDE EYE MOMENTS, TOO! 💛xx

I love your list! I think your longest book is longer than mine – I haven’t read any Brandon Sanderson.
How was Gone with the Wind? I’m so torn on reading it because I heard that it has a good romance but it’s really sad. Would you recommend it?

Awh, thank you, love! I have a big soft spot for Brandon Sanderson!
As for Gone with the Wind… okay, so my mom named me Melanie because her favorite literary character of all time is Melanie from Gone with the Wind, but I haven’t read it in probably five years. But… it is not a great book, in my opinion, haha. BUT MY MOM WOULD TELL YOU IT IS WORTH IT! Hahah! 💛xx

I do really want to read The Outlander series; it’s the ONLY reason why i haven’t watched the show yet…I don’t want to watch it and then not want to read the books. My mom loved it growing up and it would be great to have a series her and I have both read and (hopefully) enjoyed!
