Big Book Summer Challenge

As mentioned in my earlier post, I will use my 20 Books of Summer list to

go through this challenge. It is hosted by Sue Jackson on Book by Book.



The list


Big Book Summer Challenge


  • The Children's Book by A.S. Byatt (615 pages)

  • Freedom by Jonathan Franzen (562 pages)

  • The Scottish Prisoner by Diana Galbadon (507 pages)

  • Facing the Light by Adèle Geras (403 pages)

  • Tychonium - Experimentet by Jan Johannesson (448 pages)

  • Now Face to Face by Karleen Koen (586 pages)

  • Shakespeare and the Countess by Chris Laoutaris (416 pages)

  • Blondie by Joyce Carol Oates (862 pages)

  • Isbrytare by Kristina Ohlsson (548)


So far I have read two books, although the last one was not on the list from the beginning. I wanted to read something easy going and had Kristina Ohlsson's Isbrytare on my shelves. I read the first book in the series, featuring economist August Strindberg who leaves his busy life in Stockholm to settle in a small village on the west coast. More under link above.


So far so good, and I am pleased with reading any of all the thick books I have on my shelves.

Congratulations on finishing another Big Book! That sounds like a good one - we all need something easy-going and fun once in a while! Glad you're enjoying the challenge and your books. I agree - it always feels good to finally read some of those thicker books languishing on my shelves!

Thank you Sue. Yes, it really does feel good. I did manage a few more books in June, but unfortunately they were e-books and did not help my TBR shelves. But they were very good, easy summer reads.
