Today I'm linking up with Top Ten Tuesday hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl which is all about lists. Since lists are one of my favorite things this is one of my favorite linkups! Today's topic is books with high page counts. I'm normally a bit hesitant to pick up books with high page counts so they tend to stay on my TBR for awhile and here are 10 that I found.
1. Onyx Storm by Rebecca Yarros - It doesn't help that I didn't love the second book in the series so between that and the page count this one may be on my shelf until my TBR Jar determines that it is time to be read. (544 pages)
2. A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness - I've seen such good reviews for this one and I do want to read it but the page count frequently scares me off. (592 pages)
3. The Huntress by Kate Quinn - This isn't as long as the others but it is still a bit longer than what I usually reach for. (560 pages)
4. The Splendid and the Vile by Erik Larson - I usually enjoy Larson's book and I recently read a historical fiction that made me interested in Churchill's family but once again it will probably be on my TBR until my TBR Jar says it's time. (546 pages)
5. Cress by Marissa Meyer - This one is another that isn't that long but is still just long enough. (552 pages)
6. Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy - I've seen this listed on a number of favorite books but the page count terrifies me! (964 pages)
7. Inkheart by Cornelia Furke - This one isn't too bad and because it's a middle grade it probably reads first but the fact that it looks massive has made me hesitate. (563 pages)
8. Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel- This one interests me but never quite enough to make the commitment to read it. (653 pages)
9. The Clockmaker's Daughter by Kate Morton - I enjoy Kate Morton and I've had this on Audible for literally years but can never quite commit to read it. (485 pages)
10 The Stand (and pretty much everything else) by Stephen King - I've watched a number of King's movies and read a short story or two. There are a number of books from King on my TBR but the page count is almost as scary as the subject matter. (1,152 pages)
What do you think of books with high page counts? Is it a selling point or a deal breaker?
