Top 5 Wednesday is hosted by Sam from ThoughtsOnTomes and you can find the Goodreads group here.
It's time for another Top 5 Wednesday! This weeks topic is Books You're Intimidated By, now for me this could be almost any fiction book over 500 pg's or a bigger non-fiction book. So without further ado here are the books I'm intimidated by.
Fall Of Giants by Ken Follett
I ended up getting this one on a kindle sale, but have yet to read it because it is 985 pg's and that is a lot to read at once on a kindle. I will get to it, and I am hoping to start it sometime this summer.
The Monuments Men by Robert M. Edsel
I have this one in paperback and I've started it multiple times and I love the story of it, but I just can't seem to get through it. I'm hoping in May to get the audio book and just follow along with it.
North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell
I started watching the BBC tv show of this on Netflix, but decided to stop and wait until I read the book... But I'm thinking about finishing up the tv series and then reading the book after since it's been over a year since I started watching it.
The Pickwick Papers by Charles Dickens
I would really like to read more by Dickens, because I love his Christmas stories. I'm intimidated by this one for multiple reasons, its old english, it's a classic and it's 900 pg's.. But if I can I think I'm going to listen to it on audiobook. Maybe sometime closer to the end of the year.
Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow
I couldn't not mention this one. It is my most recent addition to the intimidating pile.I love the musical and it's made me become very interested in the founding fathers again.
I would really like to get to this one in August if possible while I have a month off from College.
The Monuments Men is so boring. I gave up on that as well.
ReplyDeleteIt's rather disappointing considering how much I love the movie.
