The 2013 Chunkster Challenge actually runs through December 31st, but I'm wrapping it up now - even though I've only read two of the four books I intended to read when I signed up at the "Chubby Chunkster" level. Realistically, I don't think it's likely I'll have time to read any other BIG books before the end of the year, so I'm admitting partial defeat and bowing out now.
The two chunkies I finished were:
The Lost Symbol, by Dan Brown
(509 pages in hardcover)
(509 pages in hardcover)
and
Night Film, by Marisha Pessl
(602 pages in hardcover)
(602 pages in hardcover)
I cheated just a smidge with that second one, as I started reading it on my Kindle. But almost immediately I realized I needed to read a print version to see all the illustrations, which are a major part of the narrative. So, I actually ended up reading nearly 600 pages of it in print. (No, really - I did!) Will get my review up in a day or so and add the link.
So, that's about it. My thanks to Wendy and Vasilly for hosting - it was a fun challenge, even though I only made it halfway. Maybe next time....

Welcome and thanks for leaving me a comment. I love to hear from visitors.
Also, please note that while I appreciate the thought, I don't play the blog awards game. I think you all deserve awards! But you might think about becoming a follower of my blog -- that would really be the best award.
