#AllergicToChunksters

The Last Magician | Lisa Maxwell

#AllergictoChunksters inspired me to tackle The Last Magician again - I started it 2 years ago, and didn‘t make it very far. I was determined to get through it because, as you can see, I had slowly collected the rest of the series.

Ugh, I just can‘t do it y‘all. I reached page 100 this morning and called it quits. Turned it into a #ReadORDonate situation. My local library will be getting these to sell or loan out to other readers. #hailthebail

ChaoticMissAdventures Always so frustrating when we collect all the books and they end up not for us!! 3h
dabbe Time to #hailthatbail! #betterbooksahead 🙌🏻 now

repost for @julieclair:

In looking at my overstuffed bookshelves, I realized had quite a few books I would most likely never read, because I‘m “allergic” to chunksters, and continually avoid them. So I decided to challenge myself to read 3 chunksters this year. All are welcome to join me. My definition of a chunkster is a book over 500 pages, but feel free to use whatever definition makes sense to you.

In looking at my overstuffed bookshelves, I realized had quite a few books I would most likely never read, because I‘m “allergic” to chunksters, and continually avoid them. So I decided to challenge myself to read 3 chunksters this year. All are welcome to join me. My definition of a chunkster is any book over 500 pages long, but feel free to use whatever definition makes sense to you.

The rules are simple:
1. Begin reading a chunkster. ⬇️

julieclair 2. When you finish it, post using the hashtag #AllergicToChunksters , so we can all celebrate with you! 2d
julieclair 3. Begin reading another chunkster. 2d
julieclair I made a StoryGraph Challenge for those who would find it helpful: https://app.thestorygraph.com/reading_challenges/1b8466be-7818-4594-9d7a-1cf09bf... 2d

MatchlessMarie I love this and will (hopefully 😂) be successful in joining you. I have 2 that immediately come to mind, but I am sure I have more. Imaginary Friend by Stephen Chbosky and House of Leaves by Mark Z Danielewski 🤞 2d
PuddleJumper Joining! I've got a couple that I don't want to start because they are so long. I really struggle with stopping at the moment, I only want to read things I can read in one sitting which isn't always possible for a 500 page book! 2d
willaful I definitely want to go more for quality than quantity in the new year. With the help of #Bookspin I've read a number of more intimidating books and it was worth it! 2d
TheBookgeekFrau I love this! I have a few that have been collecting dust on my TBR shelves. Thanks for this hopeful dose of allergy medicine 😂 2d
BookBelle84 This might motivate me to start The Way Of Kings ! 2d
Meshell1313 Fun! I‘m down! 2d
Born.A.Reader Oh gosh I have multiple books on my TBR that fit this description! I'm in! 2d
Booksblanketsandahotbeverage I‘m so in. I have at least 4 chunky books on my shelf that are giving me judgy eyes 😒🤣 2d
Booksblanketsandahotbeverage @PuddleJumper Same! KU has ruined my attention span… 😱 2d
Enchanted_Bibliophile Excellent idea!
I'll definitely join in, as most of my unread books are the chunksters.
1d
PuddleJumper @Booksblanketsandahotbeverage 😂 😂 I'm cancelling my membership in January. I read a lot of crap on it 1d
mcctrish I‘m in, I have a bunch I‘ve been ‘saving‘ 🤣🤣 (edited) 1d
mcctrish And I sent a friend request on StoryGraph 1d
mrp27 Great idea! I need to read my chunksters too so I‘m joining. 1d

So glad I‘m not the only one suffering with this allergy! 😘 We will support each other as we overcome our hefty tomes! 16h
julieclair @Booksblanketsandahotbeverage @PuddleJumper Y‘all are so right! KU is so easy. But not necessarily quality literature. 🤓 16h
julieclair @mcctrish Thanks for the heads up about SG. The friend request didn‘t come through, so I‘ve now sent you one. 🤞 16h
Booksblanketsandahotbeverage @mcctrish @julieclair Sent some SG friend requests :) 16h
julieclair @Booksblanketsandahotbeverage and @mcctrish We‘re now official SG friends! 🏆 15h
