Ouch, I had one like that! Hope there aren't too many more!!

Lol, I'm curious to see if Lauren's going to find another romance novel for this one :)

[Lauren (Sugar & Snark)]

Thanks- I guess :)
Any ideas?

[Barbara]

No, not a clue. The only one I know of, you read and didn't like much (Gone With The Wind). But there is a list on goodreads ( http://www.goodreads.com/list/show/47... ) with books over a 1000 pages. They are not all romance novels, but maybe there is something in there you like.

[Claudia]

Perhaps an omnibus?

[Lauren (Sugar & Snark)]

Hmm you are right, there is nothing left on the list that looks any good. And I think if you are going to read a 1000 page book you should be really interested! Maybe I will reread Stephen Kings The Stand it is one of my favourites.

[Lauren (Sugar & Snark)]

Oh I like the omnibus idea! Lu would that count?

[Lu]

Omnibus is fine, aslong as it is a omnibus and not 3 books in a series that was never put in a omnibus - if that makes sense :)

[Varla Fiona]

Finished Reckless for # 71.

# 79 next please...

I'm confused - isn't an omnibus a collection of books from a series that were published separately before?

Yes, but you can't just pick up three separate books and call them an omnibus. They have to have been published in omnibus format.

[Lauren]

Oh, doh! That seems so obvious now. Thanks :)

[Lauren (Sugar & Snark)]

Awesome, I started reading a Judith McNaught omnibus I have had sitting on my shelf for a while now in the hopes everyone would agree with the idea. I'm glad my effort hasn't been wasted because I'm a good 300 pages in!

79 - Read a book by a Author that is in their 20's

[Varla Fiona]

Lu (The Muggle) wrote: 79 - Read a book by a Author that is in their 20's"

Any suggestions? I read a pretty wide variety but don't know the authors age...

[Lauren (Sugar & Snark)]

Maybe look for debut novels that have been released recently and do research from there. New author are likely to be younger but to be honest I can't think of any whose age I know. But if they are goodread author's they sometimes have their age and other details on their profile.

No problem, always looking to add new books to the TBR shelf anyway!!

[Lauren (Sugar & Snark)]

Let me know how Insurgent is. I have been looking forward to reading it for ages but I am trying to save it for the mishmash challenge- there's a tree on the cover.

[Varla Fiona]

I know. I have to go and find another one now...

[Lu]

I am also hoping that Insurgent will be next months new release read :)

[Varla Fiona]

OK, there are enough reasons to delay Insurgent a few weeks and I found Scarlet. The author is 28...

Lol, that depends on the kinds of books you read! I don't recall ever reading a book with a red dress on the cover, except a recent book of poems that was too short to count.

[Lu]

Heheh that was one that someone suggested and I just copied their suggestion and comment :)
