WHERE TO FIND ME:

Much love to you all!

Romans 5:8
But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

The Count of Monte Cristo is SO GOOD. His time in prison is actually one of my favorite parts of the whole novel. Quite a bit of the length is because of historical context that’s written in there. Honestly, if the length is all that’s keeping you away from these classics, just find a really really good abridged edition. It’s an unpopular opinion but I think that if it gets more people to read it then it’s totally worth it. You’ve got it, girl!

The Way of Kings does feel intimidating at first! I found that once it got going I was really hooked, and I flew through it faster than some of my 400- and 500-page books!

The book I was intimidating in my TBR was one hundred years of solitude and I kill it in January 💃

[stephaniesbookverse]

The Count of Monte Cristo is my favorite classic! I absolutely love it!!!

[jackiesliterarycorner]

I need to continue reading Monte Cristo but I love what I have read. Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell is another I need to continue. I enjoyed Nevernight, but it does have odd metaphors. I want to read Warbreaker before I go back to The Way of the Kings.

I totally understand the intimidation factor of these books. The Way of Kings is one that I have been putting off as well. I have had it on my TBR since 2013. I am reading The Count of Monte Cristo right now. It is seriously huge. I absolutely love the story leading up to the revenge. It is such an entertaining read. I am 900 pages into it now, and he is still weaving the webs of revenge. I think you will really like it.

I had to dnf Dr. Strange and Mr. Norell but I am looking forward to the the Count of Monte Cristo . I watched the movie though

[BrightnessKatyReads]

The way of kings is so excited for you to read it!! It's my favourite series ever!

[ElizabethAnneReads]

I have been on a Sanderson binge all year. I think i'm going to tackle Way of Kings in May. Count of Monte Cristo is amazing, I need to reread it some time soon!

[Kendraeardnek]

I've read an abbridged version of Moby Dick - according to my mom, the actual book is very bogged down in technical details and minuata, so she only ever gave me a short version.

Haven't read any of the others, though I do want to read CoMC, as Dumas is a good author.

[gregwatson]

I'm trying to read a book now that I wouldn't normally attempt. I'm finding it slow going though.

The Count of Monte Cristo is wonderful! The prison section is interesting but it a very small part of the story. If you ever want to buddy read it, I am also down for a reread!

[ReadABookGem]

Moby Dick and The Count of Monte Cristo have both been on my TBR for ages and I have been putting off reading them for the same reason you mention. I am not convinced I will like them but maybe I will be surprised!

[louisity]

I 💗 the challenge of reading thick books. 📚
I don't mind the duration that it will take me to read a book. I admit I am a supah slow reader. 📖😂

[WorkingManReads]

The way of kings moved quickly believe it or not. Awesome video!

[RachelReadsandSings]

I'm also v intimidated by Nevernight bc of all those footnotes lol I might h8 that???? Also, I HIGHLY recommend reading Vengeful ASAP bc I actually loved it more than Vicious! I ADORED the new characters that were introduced in it.

[RaisedtoWalkTV]

I hadn't hear of Mr. Norrell before, but it sounds interesting.

[mistellation]

i personally really enjoyed vicious, to the point of considering it my new favorite book. vengeful was really just as good as vicious! it’s true that i didn’t like it as much as vicious, but it still had things to add to the original plot and i found it just as page-turning 🥴

what are the things you didn’t like about vicious?

[BookwormDuo]

I've never read anything by Brandon Sanderson but I want to get into his book since he's such a popular and prolific fantasy author and I love fantasy. I've also been curious about the Count of Monte Cristo but its lenght is a bit intimidating.

[LiteratureScienceAlliance]

Have you read Warbreaker by Brandon Sanderson?? Also Vengeful was just as good for me as Viscous so hopefully it will be for you as well!
