To find out about this reading challenge, please visit Sue’s post on her blog Book By Book.
Last year was the first time I did this one. For that challenge, I wanted to read four books, but only completed three because I DNF one of them (sorry, that Jackie & Maria was all WRONG). This year, I only have ONE book on my TBR list of ARCs that qualifies. That is:
- Sisters of the Resistance by Christine Wells (416 pages).
I don’t think it will be a problem to achieve this teeny-tiny goal, since I actually finished reading it TODAY, and I hope to post my review on Friday. However, you never know if one of the print books I have on my shelf will catch my fancy and also qualify for this challenge, so let’s not be too hasty, right?

I didn’t plan it, but have already read 2 this summer: The Code Breaker: Jennifer Doudna, Gene Editing, and the Future of the Human Race, by Walter Isaacson (536 pages)
and When All Light Fails (Ryan DeMarco Mystery #5), by Randall Silvis (400 pages)
Plus 2 others, but they were Graphic Novels

Ha! You already finished your challenge. This is something I should do because I can never follow through with any of my loftier reading challenge goals. That’s great that the consider a big book 400 pages because to read a 500 page book or more requires too much effort. It’s basically an accident if I read more that 420 pages which is at most what I read.

What a great challenge! I looked through my list of books this year and didn’t see anything over 400, looks like I need to challenge myself to read a few longer books.

I don’t go out of my way for this. If there’s a book on my TBR that is over 400 pages, I try to read it during the dates of the challenge. If not, then I just don’t join in!

No, I didn’t, but I have a DNF Friday planned for it. Not sure when I’ll put it up, since I want to get to the older ones first.
