It’s Tuesday once again and that means it’s time for another Top Ten Tuesday post! This week’s topic has similarities to a topic I did pretty recently, but I still wanted to do it. Whereas I listed the ten longest books I’ve ever read that day, I will just look into those books with a high page count a.k.a. the beasts today. I can pick whatever I want, that’s great! So, without further ado, let’s look into those doorstop books from short to long! Data are retrieved from The Storygraph, so may not be fully accurate as page counts differ per edition.
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. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.

- 11/22/63 by Stephen King (849 pages) – Started it, but I wasn’t in the right headspace so this might get another try
- Queen of Air and Darkness (The Dark Artifices #3) by Cassandra Clare (912 pages) – Read, 3 stars as I was a bit burnt out by the Shadowhunters world
- It by Stephen King (1120 pages) – Read, 2 stars and it took me a month
- Sorrow and Starlight (Zodiac Academy #8) by Caroline Peckham and Suzanne Valenti (1244 pages) – Probably will never touch this
- Wind and Truth (The Stormlight Archive #5) by Brandon Sanderson (1329 pages) – I couldn’t get to The Way of Kings as the audiobook narration didn’t work for me
Do you like those beasts of books, or do you prefer shorter ones? What is the longest book you have ever read?
