Tome Topple's rules are simple. Read books with more than 500 pages. There are challenges but they are optional. I have several books on my TBR that I have been wanting to get to that are over 500 pages so this is the perfect time to read them.
I hope that I can find a nonfiction book to read as well so that I can double up and have it count towards #nonfictionNovember. Posted to my Twitter asking for ideas and received such good suggestions.
Optional Challenges to Help You Pick Your Tomes:
1. Read more than one tome.
2. Read a graphic novel (still over 500 pages!)
3. Read a tome that is part of a series.
4. Buddy read a tome (check the Goodreads group to find a buddy).
5. Read an adult tome (not YA or middle grade).
My current list of possibilities:
Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln by Doris Kearns Goodwin
Monsters of Men (Walking Chaos Book #3) by Patrick Ness
The Tudors: The Complete Story of England's Most Notorious Dynasty by G.J. Meyer
The Whispering Room: A Jane Hawk novel by Dean Koontz
The Alice Network by Kate Quinn
My Goals:
I would like to finish 3 tomes.
I would like to do 3 challenges.
I would like to read one nonfiction.

ReplyDeleteI keep going back and forth on what to read. Hopefully by Friday will have my first book picked out at least. I have several to choose from.
