Tamra I really enjoyed Anna when I read it years ago! I don‘t remember the details, but I recall it was engaging. (edited) now

Actually, I am drawn to chunky novels - I love ‘em! 😂

I realized that I had a number of planned books for 2025 (FOUR are for #HashtagBrigade !) that would fit the #AllergictoChunksters and #ChunksterChallenge2025 , so I‘m hopping on board. More may be forthcoming but for now I have:

Lark Rise to Candleford - 556 pages
The Mill on the Floss - 579 pages
The Woman in White - 626 pages
Wives and Daughters - 679 pages
The Quincunx - 781 pages

Amiable, julieclair

BarbaraBB I absolutely loved both The Woman in White and The Quincunx! 22h

BarbaraBB And The Mill on the Floss! 22h

AllDebooks I love a good chunkster, more bang for your buck, as it were. 😅 The Quincunx is a favourite of mine. 21h

Ruthiella @BarbaraBB The Woman in White will be a re-read for me but The Mill on the Floss and The Quincunx will both be for the first time. I am glad to have your endorsement! 😃 (edited) 12h

Ruthiella @AllDebooks Agreed! I love getting lost in a long book. Glad also to get a second thumbs up for The Quincunx! 😊 12h

dabbe My thoughts on Lark Rise so far ... 😴💤🥱 11h

Amiable @AllDebooks Agreed! Why pay the same price for a book with 300 pages when you can get one with 700, is my thought. 🤷🏻‍♀️😀 11h

Ruthiella @dabbe It certainly isn‘t very plot driven! 😂 10h

Ruthiella @Amiable Absolutely! 👍 10h

julieclair Glad you‘re joining us! 😃 It hadn‘t really dawned on me that we have 4 chunksters for #HashtagBrigade . Since my personal goal is 3 for the year, if I just keep up my reading for that challenge, I‘ll exceed my goal for #AllergicToChunksters ! Woo hoo! 8h

Ruthiella @julieclair The beauty of the #HashtagBrigade is it holds me accountable (to myself). Reading The Quincunx will be more challenging for me personally. 🤞 8h

Murtagh: The World of Eragon | Christopher Paolini

2025 Litsy book Challenges I've joined 📚🥳.

Thank you @TheSpineView &
@Andrew65 and @Amiable for hosting these Challenges 📚💝📚.

👇

AnnCrystal For SeriesLove2025, I'm excited to continue the RileyThorn Mysteries along with a seemingly endless-list of other series (some on my bookshelf, some not) that would likely take me until 2035 to complete 😂...🤔📚🥳.

AnnCrystal The tagged works for either challenge, since Murtagh is book five (?) in a series. It is the only book I have in this series, yet I've read that it can be a standalone...hope.

Been really excited to begin this read, yet I just recently realized how many pages...705! I was considering stashing this with some other big books to read another time when I saw the #ChunksterChallenge! Seemed like a “read now“ sign 😂.

AnnCrystal I will begin this challenge with Murtagh, and continue with a new Chunkster once I've finished...one Chunkster at a time 😂📚💝.

Amiable One chunkster at a time is a fabulous strategy! 👍🏼👍🏼 1d

AnnCrystal @Amiable too excited 💕📚🥳💝. 1d

Amiable @AnnCrystal The secret with chunksters is to just keep reading. Even if it‘s only few pages at a time. It‘s the forward momentum that propels you to the finish. I find that if I don‘t pick it up every day, it‘s easier to not pick it up at all. 1d

TheSpineView So glad to have you! 1d

AnnCrystal Thank You @Amiable, that is absolutely true 👏📚📖💖. 23h

AnnCrystal Thank You @TheSpineView 🎉📚🥳💖. 23h

Andrew65 That‘s your reading for the next 10 years sorted. 😂 I look forward to seeing your progress this year and over the other 9 years. 15h

AnnCrystal Thanks @Andrew65 👏😂🥳👍📚💫. 13h

I Like Big Books and I Cannot Lie: A Different Sort of Handbook for Readers | Lori Oster

repost for @Amiable:

Have you always wanted to tackle the giant books that double as paperweights, but the page counts intimidate you? Join us for the 5th annual #ChunksterChallenge! It‘s structured with levels to help build up your stamina to take down those super-sized tomes and claim the bragging rights. Because the secret to completing the Colossal Chunkster is simple math – one page at a time!

#ChunksterChallenge2025

Amiable Oh, thank you! ☺️ 4d

AnnCrystal @Amiable hi, are we able to select own books?? Is this low-key or are there minimum/maximum challenges?? And can anyone join?? Thank you, 🎇 Happy 🥳New💖 Year 🎆. (edited) 4d

Read4life @AnnCrystal I did this last year and it‘s low key. Read what you want, when you want. Just tag @Amiable and use the #. Include which level your chunkster falls into. Open to everyone. 4d

Amiable @Read4life Thank you! 🙂 @AnnCrystal Yes, pick your own chunksters! The goal of the challenge is just to get you to read those giant books you may have been avoiding because the page counts intimidate you, or because you find that you are always reaching for the short books to chase an arbitrary book total goal. 4d

AnnCrystal thank You @Amiable and @Read4life That's great! Definitely joining on 😉👍📚💝. 3d

Napoleon: A Life | Andrew Roberts

Getting ready for our first #chunksterchallenge2025 read for tomorrow! 10 pages per day until we‘re done!

Thank you for hosting again, @Amiable We look forward to this challenge every year!

This one only counts as a Chunkster…not a Colossal Chunkster! We‘ll have to pick a longer one next! 😂
@Kelly326

Amiable I think we‘re going to run out of qualifying colossal chunksters before too long! 😄 4d

Kelly326 It was hard enough to find one that long. 😂 Excited about this one!! 3d
