I have some books in my collection that are huge that I actually need to read. However, I find the page count on them intimidating and have avoided starting then for that reason. I recently used a word count search engine for books that has made a lot of them less intimidating to me. A lot of them are about twice the size of the books is usually read in terms of word count. I do recommend you do this if the word count is what is stopping you from picking up any of your larger books.

The goal for this challenge is to read more tome sized books (500+ pages) that maybe wouldn't be your first instinct to pick up because of their size. There are so many amazing stories out there that are worth the patience required to get through them. So let's go on this journey together over the next two years and see where it takes us. I have attempted to make the prompts varied so everyone can find something to read and cater the challenge to their needs. This isn't about completing all the prompts or the number of books read, but more about experiencing and immersing yourself in books that you may find more intimidating. Hope everyone finds something to enjoy!
