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

dabbe, julieclair

ChaoticMissAdventures Always so frustrating when we collect all the books and they end up not for us!! 1w

dabbe Time to #hailthatbail! #betterbooksahead 🙌🏻 1w

willaful @ChaoticMissAdventures On the bright side, we're supporting the industry we love.

Also, remembering George Carlin on leftovers. “When you put them away, you feel really intelligent: I'm saving food! And when you find them with hair growing all over and throw them away, you feel really intelligent: I'm saving my life!“

(Or in this case, your precious reading time!) 1w

Booksblanketsandahotbeverage @ChaoticMissAdventures @willaful So true, but I feel good giving them to our local library. I‘ve donated to them before and they‘re always appreciative. 1w

Booksblanketsandahotbeverage @dabbe true facts! 1w

ChaoticMissAdventures @Booksblanketsandahotbeverage just don't rebuy them from the library after you donate. Not saying I would ever do such a thing... 😂 1w

willaful @ChaoticMissAdventures I have definitely done such a thing! 1w

Booksblanketsandahotbeverage @ChaoticMissAdventures LOL exactly why I never go to their book sales 🤣 @willaful (edited) 1w

julieclair I think you made two intelligent decisions (like George Carlin!) First, you made a sincere effort (for the second time) to read the first book, second, you made the sensible decision to bail when you realized you just couldn‘t. Plus, you‘re helping your local library and clearing some space on your bookshelves. Win win win!! 🏆👍🙂 1w

Booksblanketsandahotbeverage @julieclair thanks 🥰 1w

Allergies | Steve Parker

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.

Spunky Chunks | Mary Ann Callan

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! 2w

julieclair 3. Begin reading another chunkster. 2w

julieclair I made a StoryGraph Challenge for those who would find it helpful: https://app.thestorygraph.com/reading_challenges/1b8466be-7818-4594-9d7a-1cf09bf... 2w

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 🤞 2w

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! 2w

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! 2w

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 😂 2w

BookBelle84 This might motivate me to start The Way Of Kings ! 2w

Meshell1313 Fun! I‘m down! 2w

Born.A.Reader Oh gosh I have multiple books on my TBR that fit this description! I'm in! 2w

Booksblanketsandahotbeverage I‘m so in. I have at least 4 chunky books on my shelf that are giving me judgy eyes 😒🤣 2w

Booksblanketsandahotbeverage @PuddleJumper Same! KU has ruined my attention span… 😱 2w

Enchanted_Bibliophile Excellent idea!
I'll definitely join in, as most of my unread books are the chunksters. 2w

PuddleJumper @Booksblanketsandahotbeverage 😂 😂 I'm cancelling my membership in January. I read a lot of crap on it 1w

mcctrish I‘m in, I have a bunch I‘ve been ‘saving‘ 🤣🤣 (edited) 1w

mcctrish And I sent a friend request on StoryGraph 1w

mrp27 Great idea! I need to read my chunksters too so I‘m joining. 1w

julieclair @MatchlessMarie @PuddleJumper @willaful @TheBookgeekFrau @BookBelle84 @Meshell1313 @Born.A.Reader @Booksblanketsandahotbeverage @Enchanted_Bibliophile @mcctrish @mrp27 Hooray! So glad I‘m not the only one suffering with this allergy! 😘 We will support each other as we overcome our hefty tomes! 1w

julieclair @LitsyEvents 1w

julieclair @Booksblanketsandahotbeverage @PuddleJumper Y‘all are so right! KU is so easy. But not necessarily quality literature. 🤓 1w

julieclair @mcctrish Thanks for the heads up about SG. The friend request didn‘t come through, so I‘ve now sent you one. 🤞 1w

Booksblanketsandahotbeverage @mcctrish @julieclair Sent some SG friend requests :) 1w

julieclair @Booksblanketsandahotbeverage and @mcctrish We‘re now official SG friends! 🏆 1w

mcctrish @julieclair @Booksblanketsandahotbeverage woo Hoo 1w

Andrew65 Have joined the Storygraph challenge, just need to get my Storygraph account up to date for the last 2 months. 1w

julieclair @Andrew65 Keeping all the book trackers current is sometimes a struggle. In fact, I have decided to stop tracking on Goodreads for 2025, and use SG as my primary tracker. It dawned on me that I was getting no real benefit from tracking on both. 6d
