This week’s Top 5 Wednesday, hosted by the Good Reads group, is: Largest Books on my TBR. I noticed that a great deal of books on my TBR have “unknown” listed as page numbers, so this may not be entirely accurate. I also thought it was kind of funny that I don’t even remember adding most of these to my TBR. I guess the page number really has intimidated me away from them.
1. Queen of Air and Darkness (The Dark Artifices #3) by Cassandra Clare. 720 pages.
2. Helter Skelter: The True Story of the Manson Murders by Vincent Bugliosi and Curt Gentry. 689 pages.
3. The Black Prison (Lightbringer #1) by Brent Weeks. 629 pages.
4. Obsidio (The Illuminae Files #3) by Amie Kaufman & Jay Kristoff. 615 pages.
5. Where Rainbows End by Cecelia Ahern. 585 pages.
Stephanie's Book Reviews 
I don’t know what the longest book on my TBR is but I’ve just started reading Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell and my edition has 1001 pages! Eeek! I’m really enjoying it though so it doesn’t feel as intimidating as I thought it might. I read Helter Skelter earlier this year and even though that’s also a long book it didn’t feel it, it’s such a fascinating read.
Oh my goodness 1001 pages is way too long!! I’m glad you’re enjoying it, though. It wouldn’t be worth it if it was just “ok”. I’m glad to hear Helter Skelter is worth the read!
Helter Skelter is one of the best books I’ve ever read. I’m so old that I read it when he first published it and have read it several times since. It’s simply chilling what Manson was able to do and the people he was able to control. We should have learned then how susceptible people are to brainwashing.
I’m glad to hear it’s worth reading. I’ve been kind of putting it off because I just don’t generally reach for non-fiction, but I definitely want to try it!

At least Obsidio will go fast with the way the books are laid out! 😉
That’s true! All those books are so long and I’ve been able to knock them our pretty quickly.
Ugh, anything over 450 pages stresses me out. Lol. Obsidio is worth reading, though. I don’t read many long books, but that series didn’t feel long to me.
Agreed! The way that series is set up definitely makes the length easier to ignore.
I didn’t realize it before but a lot of the books on my goodreads TBR don’t have a page count either. That is super weird! Good luck with these 😂 That is a lot of pages!!
Isn’t it strange!? I don’t know if we need to switch to a different edition or something? And thanks 🙂
Where Rainbows End is a long book, but because of the style it doesn’t take very long to read. I really loved this book when I read it
That’s good to hear! I definitely want to give it a try!
Queen of Air and Darkness is not only the largest but also my most awaited!!!
For some reason I was thinking it wasn’t coming out for another year so it wasn’t even on my radar until recently. Now there’s like 100 people ahead of me in line for it at the library.
Where rainbows end is so cute!!
If I remember correctly, you’re the reason I decided to add it to my TBR 🙂
I keep track of my TBR on a spreadsheet instead of Goodreads, so mine are total wildcards when it comes to page count!! Although now I kind of want to look up page counts and sort them that way….
I can never start a book without checking the page number, so it’s a good one to track!
Kingdom of Ash!
Her books are always kind of massive! Good luck with it!
I don’t think I have a lot of long books on my TBR, but I have never checked the page numbers, so now I’m curious. I think we all need to take a month off to get started on our TBRs!
Sounds daunting! lol
