Overview

Challenging myself on tackling some of those chunky reads on my TBR. I found the popular challenge with 12 big books a bit too easy for me so I wanted a bigger challnege this year. Hope you'll find it useful.
I'll count book with over 500 pages but you are free to make your own parameters. 

Happy reading.
