In fact my hubby read Shift without knowing that Wool was the first one but the two are separate from each other enough to make this not a problem.
I probably will Stephanie, think my local library has it :-) Glad to hear it's worth it too!

It has 506 pages but could have fit so many categories, it was hard to decide where to put it - historical fiction, foreign setting (finished that category), prize winner.
Hopefully I don't regret putting it here.

If you decide later that you want to swap it to another category, let me know.

Finished another heavy tome - the 561-page Leviathan Wakes. Well worth the time, effort and cramped fingers. *Note to self - Kindle is probably the way to go for these big books.

Absolutely, which is why, after reading your glowing review, I ordered this as an ebook, got it on sale for around $5!
Woo-hoo!
Hope you like it, Stephanie. Otherwise, I'll feel really, really guilty.

Man, you guys are impressive. I'm doing well to finish books of under 200 pages just now. Though I have been finishing a lot of them.

My first for this category: The Guns at Last Light: The War in Western Europe, 1944-1945 by Rick Atkinson. Excellent read and a great conclusion to Atkinson's Liberation Trilogy.

New kitten-squisher (though since I read it on Kindle...). I didn't realize how long when I started, but GR lists the Kindle as 530 pages.Roughing It

Not sure if it counts, since it was an audio book, but at least some of the print editions were over 500 pages:Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption

I'll take it... Finger crushers are hard to come by.
Thanks! It was a gripping read (or listen), though I felt a bit cheated at the end because he (and the narrative) went all religious on us.

. Whew! I think that is number five for me."Yes, that was number five, well done!!!
May be my last of the year we will see:
