#AllergictoChunksters inspired me to tackle The Last Magician again - I started it 2 years ago, and didn‘t make it very far. I was determined to get through it because, as you can see, I had slowly collected the rest of the series.
Ugh, I just can‘t do it y‘all. I reached page 100 this morning and called it quits. Turned it into a #ReadORDonate situation. My local library will be getting these to sell or loan out to other readers. #hailthebail
repost for @julieclair:
In looking at my overstuffed bookshelves, I realized had quite a few books I would most likely never read, because I‘m “allergic” to chunksters, and continually avoid them. So I decided to challenge myself to read 3 chunksters this year. All are welcome to join me. My definition of a chunkster is a book over 500 pages, but feel free to use whatever definition makes sense to you.

My definition of a chunkster is any book over 500 pages long, but feel free to use whatever definition makes sense to you.
The rules are simple:
1. Begin reading a chunkster. ⬇️
Also, remembering George Carlin on leftovers. “When you put them away, you feel really intelligent: I'm saving food! And when you find them with hair growing all over and throw them away, you feel really intelligent: I'm saving my life!“
