Stephen King books are the longest I’ve read. I have a few more lengthy ones on my tbr!

ooh yes I have tons of lenthy books still on my TBR pile! Need to pick them up! I’ve only ever really read the shorter books from Stephen King – maybe I need to take the plunge on his longer novels!!

I don’t remember The Forgotten Garden being that long. But sometimes in memory things seem longer/shorter depending on how you felt about them. My list: https://franlaniado.wordpress.com/2018/10/09/top-ten-tuesday-longest-books/

Looking at her books on my shelves it’s clear they are quite chunky but like you I didn’t think it was that long when I read it!
