Bloodlands was my top read and I just bought Snyder‘s On Freedom which I‘m excited to dive into.
Yes , I think I will try this challenge this year ! I have read #chunksters before, when I read War & Peace I got to the point I had goals of 20 pages every time I picked it up. Did finish it , did love it. Admittedly, failed on some of them too. The titles that come to mind , A Little Life and the third in The Outlander series, Voyager.
Thanks to @Amiable for hosting!
Is there a chunkster lurking on your TBR?

Starting off #JubilantJuly by listening to The Evening and The Morning.
A big book, which I am already 1/3 of the way through, but I still have over 16 hours of it to listen to.

Started listening to The Evening and The Morning, the prequel in the superb Kingsbridge Series. At 24.33 hours it might take a while. Decided to re-read the whole Series. Hoping it will help me get back in a reading flow.
Can‘t wait for the new book to be published in September.

1. My challenges are going so-so. Still trying to trudge through WAR AND PEACE for #Chunksters, still caught on last month's #AuthoraMonth. Finished (and loved) OLD FANCIES & NEW FRIENDS with the #pemberlittens. However, my actual #TBR shelf just sits there. I think I'm going to have to give up some challenges if I want to shorten my books on the shelves.
2. Time to whittle down my books on the shelves.
Here‘s my April Reading Record :
29 books finished (which includes three short stories or novellas)
10,463 Pages Read
11 #SeriesLove2023 books @TheSpineView
6 #AuthorAMonth Books @Soubhiville
13 #ARCApril books
11 #Audiobooks
2 #Chunksters
Only 1 #OffMyShelves 😣
After a bit of a freeze on book buying another #booksale #bookhaul !! 📚😬
I guess this is what happens when you restrict yourself 🤷🏻♀️
But at least it was another #supportyourlocallibrary situation.

I completely forgot to update on Monday. I finished Demon Copperhead and David Copperfield, a result in itself #chunksters
Bailed on An intro to English poetry 😴
Still dipping into Holly McNish's delicious anthology and the tagged.
I did get distracted by 2 excellent #Netgalley reads Weyward and The wheel of the year.
All on all, a success. Although the journal still awaits 🙈
