The last #Project2020 list was novellas, quick reads that could be finished in one sitting.
This list is a list of chunkies - books with more than 400 or 500 pages. They can be sagas or epics and they require a commitment. This list of 20 books was so big, they barely all fit on one shelf. Sometimes their size can be overwhelming and seem daunting. But there is nothing like a good chunky that is so good, the number of pages is insignificant because you could live in the story forever.
I have read most of the books on this list, but there are a few of them that remain on my TBR list and I look forward to living among their pages when I get to them.
