Q: What is the longest book you’ve read? What are your favorite 600+ page reads?
A: You know, I didn't think I'd read any 600+ page books but Goodreads begs to differ. Actually read 7. Huh! Most of those weren't all that great unfortunately.
The only one I would say was really excellent would be Sherrilyn Kenyon's Acheron (722). It was such a sad book and explained so much about one of my favorite characters. I think Acheron was the first character I actually hurt for when I was reading their story and one of the most tortured heroes. Kenyon did an amazing job and definitely did him justice. Being the 15th book in the series and very anticipated by fans I thought she pulled it off with flying colors.
the others from favorite to least...
Stray (618) by Rachel Vincent
Narcissus in Chains (644) by Laurell K Hamilton
Incubus Dreams (752) by Laurell K Hamilton
Lover Mine (656) by JR Ward
Eclipse (629) by Stephanie Meyer
Breaking Dawn (768) by Stephanie Meyer
So what about yall? What's the longest book you've read?
I haven't read any of Kenyon's books yet, but plan to so I'm loving this list of rankings for your favorites :-)

She's one of my favorites and what got me hooked on reading!
DeleteI read the first book in Kenyon's series but haven't been able to get going to the next! There are just too many books to read and not nearly enough time!

Right? I flew through this book. Was a little intimidating when I picked it up but doesn't seem long at all while you're reading.
DeleteI haven't read any of Sherrilyn Kenyon's books, but the longest and least favorite book, I ever read was Shogun by James Clavell. First 500 Pages, would try anybody. Once you managed to make it past that part,it was very,very good(it was a really long book).
ReplyDelete"First 500 pages would try anybody" Oh my. That sent me into a total giggle. That's some dedication to get through 500 pages before it gets good!
DeleteYou don't know the half of it. I'd put it down for a long time, right when they got shipped wreck. Couldn't read it anymore.
ReplyDeleteThen it came on tv, and adventurous me(or stupid depending on how you look at it) decided I'd give it a try again, picked up where I'd left off. That was a mistake.
Well, at least, until I made it to page 600 or so and that was half way in the book!Took me at least 5 years to finish it,starting and stopping, but finish it I did.
(That book was wordy!Oh my!)
The funniest thing is, the next book in the series "Taipan" took me three days (it was very funny) and "Nobel House" a week."
