I thought Bleak House was the longest but in fact DC has the highest word count, 358,000 words!

Autumn is either a rollercoaster of heat and humidity (my childhood home) or a last hooray of lovely days before we descend into the dark of winter (my PNW house!).<br /><br />I'm hoping to finish up my last Big Books, although some may creep into late September. I keep meaning to try Abercrombie and just missing. A book club read one of his books a few months ago, but I couldn't make the meeting so it fell down my priority list and the library called it home. Did you know that he's the son of Diane Gabaldon?Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18005286623073064886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22461753.post-4472213104950366612020-09-02T12:32:11.464-04:002020-09-02T12:32:11.464-04:00I completely forgot to add a couple books to my Bi...I completely forgot to add a couple books to my Big Book Summer Challenge, but I have an excuse due to moving.

I'm a little more than halfway through my first book, but am thinking I should get to count my almost 800-page book as two books towards the challenge! ;) I love Charles Dickens, and the humor that lightens even his sadder, more serious books. Next year I'll have to take on the Big Book Summer challenge sooner!Laurie Chttp://baystatera.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22461753.post-55809727111775107822020-08-31T19:37:18.506-04:002020-08-31T19:37:18.506-04:00Seasons vary a bit don't they.
