Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl.
I’m not too keen on super long books, but it was interesting to delve into my stats to see what the longest books I’ve ever read are. There were some surprises and a lot more variation in genre than I expected. The page counts are taken from the edition I have shelved as read on Goodreads so may not be 100% accurate.
In reverse order, here are the longest books I’ve read…


693 pages
Empire of Storms by Sarah J Maas
694 pages
Duma Key by Stephen King


695 pages
Nemesis by Jo Nesbo
704 pages
The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova


724 pages
Incubus Dreams by Laurell K. Hamilton
739 pages
Sepulchre by Kate Mosse


756 pages
Breaking Dawn by Stephanie Meyer
768 pages
The Fireman by Joe Hill


819 pages
A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin
885 pages
This Charming Man by Marian Keyes

I enjoyed twilight at the time too. I can see what is wrong with it now but it will always hold a place in my heart for reigniting my love for reading.

I do love how mixed up your genres are!
My Top Ten Tuesday
I'm surprised that Marian Keyes is the longest book. I've read a couple of her books and they're really good. Empire of Storms is on my list as well.

Great list! I forgot that some of the books in the Anita Blake series were so long! I agree that the earlier books in the series were much better. I enjoyed reading the Twilight series as well. It isn't perfect, but I thought it was entertaining. Here is our Top Ten Tuesday.
I agree that the early Anita Blake books were so good. I quit after book 8 and doubt I'll ever start back up. That's A LOT of vampire porn for 724 pages.
I too enjoyed The Twilight series at the time. I remember reading it on my e-reader and downloading the next book at some crazy hour in the wee hours of the morning to continue reading. I have a bad habit of forgetting to update Goodreads but I am glad I have it because I would not want to dig through my messy bookshelves! Have a great day!

My experience with Game of Thrones mirrors yours. I think my mistake was watching the TV series before reading the books, I just didn't have the motivation to start the second book.
My longest read was Lord Of Chaos by Robert Jordan – 1023 pages (if you include the glossary), and nothing of import happening until the second half!
I have not read any of the novels on your TTT post! They look like really good reads. Hopefully one day I’ll be able to get around to reading a few of them!

The GoT books are the longest books I’ve read. I stopped after the third book because I needed a break.
Aj @ Read All The Things!
I didn't realize The Fireman was that long either… huh!

Empire of Storms was on my list this week too!
