Today’s Top Ten Tuesday list is also my 2024 Big Book Summer challenge sign-up post. (If you don’t see the comments, and you want to, please try tapping or clicking on the title of this post to open up the specific post.)
To qualify for the Big Book Summer (BBS) challenge, books have to be at least 400 pages long. The ten on this list are almost all in my home library and most have been on my TBR list for at least a year. They’re in the order I plan (sort of) to read them. There may be some left over from previous BBS challenges!
1. The Once and Future King by TH White (656 pages)
2 & 3. A Column of Fire by Ken Follett (928 pages)
4 This Strange Eventful History by Claire Messud (448 pages)
5. Shrines of Gaiety by Kate Atkinson (515 pages)
6. We Are Not Ourselves by Matthew Thomas (656 pages)
Big Book Summer Audiobooks
7. The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store by James McBride (742 minutes)
8. A Carnival of Snackery by David Sedaris (1,035 minutes)
9. Ghost Station by S.A. Barnes (900 minutes)
10. Making It So by Patrick Stewart (1,130 minutes)
Have you read any of these? Should I move one up or down the list?

I’m curious about Making It So.
Here is my Top Ten Tuesday.
I have Making It So on my eventual TBR. It’s one that definitely had to be an audiobook though!
Here is our Top Ten Tuesday.
I hope you enjoy reading them all.

Welcome back to Big Book Summer, Laurie! Glad you’re participating again 🙂 Looks like a great batch of books.
I read The Once and Future King as a kid – and still have my copy, so I should reread it again sometime. I read Pillars of the Earth for my own first-ever Big Book Summer, but I never read moire of the series (even though I enjoyed it). They are chunksters! Sedaris is always fun, especially on audio. And I recommended Ghost Station? It sounds good, but it doesn’t look familiar, and I don’t recognize the author’s name. But let me know what you think!
Looks like a fun reading summer for you!

2024 Big Book Summer Challenge
[…] I’ve gone back to The Book of Love by Kelly Link. It’s soaked through with Gothic melancholy and dark magic, and is just the absorbing distraction I’ve been needing this month. At 600+ pages, it should count towards Big Book Summer, even though I didn’t put it on my 2024 BBS List. […]
[…] I started The Book of Love by Kelly Link before summer started, but at 600+ pages, it’s got to count towards Big Book Summer, so I’m adding it retroactively to my 2024 BBS List. […]
