I am going with More-Book-ly Obese (0/8)
I am posting a list of more than 8 and will most likely add more as I go and pick and choose the ones I want. I hope that is okay. :)

(451-799)
Inkdeath(663)
Night World, No. 2: Dark Angel; The Chosen; Soulmate(662)
Night World, No. 3: Huntress, Black Dawn, Witchlight(732)
A Kiss of Shadows (Meredith Gentry, #1)(480)
Beautiful Creatures(563)
Les Miserables (510)
(800 +)
War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy (1392)
Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy (960)
Gone With the Wind by Margaret Mitchell (1024)

Inkdeath is the only one here that I don't expect will have too much romance in it but there is a little bit judging from the previous 2 books and there is definitely "love" but more family and friends. :)

And I couldn't have done it without my iPod Touch! I've had the intention of reading it for ages but never felt like it because of its size...but with the Classics App on my iPod, I was able to read it in less than 6 weeks (by reading chapters in between other books.)

Next, it will be Emma! My last Austen book. :(

I feel you, yet another reason why I love my Kindle. Thanks to free public domain ebooks, I can collect and carry and read (and re-read) all the classics without worrying about cost, size, or storage space. :)

2010 Chubby Chunkster Challenge for me!

I've got a couple of classics that I've been avoiding for a while now and it's time I read them. I think I'll start with Jane Austen - Mansfield Park and go on from there. So:

1. Mansfield Park - Jane Austen (480 pages)

Let's see how it goes...

[Unapologetic_Bookaholic]

The Chubby Chunkster

1.Swan Song v Robert R. McCammon 956
Starting April 24

2.Power Play v J.M. Snyder 580

3.Fortune v Erica Spindler 560

READ

Hoping this won't take more than 1-2 months each. Since I read 3+ books at a time.

Kasia: I am glad you answered that. Tech this is a re-read, but I first read this like, say, 15 years ago. So I hardly remember it. I won't be skimming. It really will be like a first time read, lol.

[Danielle The Book Huntress]

Update:
Do These Books Make my Butt Look Big? - this option is for the slightly heavier reader who wants to commit to 5 Chunksters over the remainder of the year
