long books on my TBR
One of my goals this year is get back into long books! I used to love a long book but lately my TBR has been so stacked I feel a pressure to read as much as possible leading me to prioritize shorter books.
Lmk if you’ve read any of these and what you think I should start with!

Long books have a unique place in the literary world, offering depth and complexity that shorter reads often can't provide. Titles like 'Nights of Plague' by Orhan Pamuk delve into historical narratives, weaving together themes of humanity and resilience over 683 pages. Another must-read is 'I Am a Cat' by Natsume Sōseki, a 470-page satirical exploration of Japanese society through the eyes of a feline. For fans of character-driven stories, Elena Ferrante's 'The Story of the Lost Child' offers a remarkable journey through friendship and personal growth in 473 pages, showcasing Ferrante's masterful storytelling. Lastly, dive into the enchanting 'A Winter's Promise,' the first in the Mirror Visitor series, presenting a captivating 443-page YA fantasy that blends magic and adventure. Choosing among these treasures can be daunting, so don’t hesitate to reach out for recommendations or share your favorites! With the rise of platforms like #BookTok and the community spirit of online book clubs, there's a renewed appreciation for lengthy literary experiences. Let's embrace the challenge of long reads and inspire each other along the way!
