My Big Book Summer Challange 2013 Wrap-Up

I am running a few days behind, as always, but Labor Day is past, so it's time to wrap-up my 2013 Big Book Summer Challenge.

You can see on my introduction post from May (and in the photo here) that I planned to read 5 Big Books this summer (each over 400 pages). I did meet my goal and read 5 Big Books, but I made a swap at the last minute, skipping over Dragonfly in Amber by Diana Gabaldon for now, so that I had time to read The Ask and the Answer by Patrick Ness because I was enjoying the Chaos Walking series so much! I won't wait for next summer's Big Book Challenge to finish this trilogy!

I read and reviewed these 5 Big Books this summer:

• The Book Thief by Markus Zusak, 552 pages (a re-read for a book group)
• The Knife of Never Letting Go by Patrick Ness, 479 pages
• Defending Jacob by William Landay, 421 pages
• The Twelve by Justin Cronin, 564 pages
• The Ask and the Answer by Patrick Ness, 

I can't wait to hear about YOUR Big Book Summer! How many Big Books did you end up reading? Please leave a link to your wrap-up post either here or on the main challenge page (the lists are the same). Also remember to leave links to your Big Book reviews on the challenge page - I will leave the page up for a while.

I thoroughly enjoyed tackling these Big Books this summer, and I hope you did, too. If you didn't participate this summer, there is always next year!
