Top 10 Tuesday — I Like(d) Big Books!

19 Aug

Happy Tuesday! Today bloggers are featuring their favorite books with BIG page counts. In my youth, I was a big reader of chunksters. The longer the better. But my advanced age, limited free time, and reading deadlines keep me from choosing those mega-books. I know, I know — I am retired. But my husband’s retirement earlier in the year really impacts my reading time. LOL! So today I am going to highlight my favorites from the distant past and those books that qualify as BIG books that I have read more recently and enjoyed. I define a Big Book as 450+ pages.
