Books with a High Page Count

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. 

Books with a High Page Count

I am a big fan of tomes (books that are 500 pages or more). There were so many books I could have put on this list, so I had a very hard time just picking out ten. These are all favorite books which I have given five stars to. 

1. Words of Radiance (The Stormlight Archive #2) by Brandon Sanderson

    - Page count for edition read: 1088 pages

    - I started reading The Stormlight Archive last year and absolutely adore it. Each of the books in the series is over a thousand pages and they just keep getting bigger by the book. Next month, I'm going to pick up the fourth which is called Rhythm of War. I cannot wait to see what will happen next.  

2. A Storm of Swords (A Song of Ice and Fire #3) by George R. R. Martin 

    - Page count for edition read: 1136 pages

    - My favorite of the A Song of Ice and Fire series.  

3. Rumo & His Miraculous Adventures (Zamonia, #3) by Walter Moers

    - Page count for edition read: 688 pages

    - The Zamonia series is such a fun and hilarious series. I definitely have to pick up more of the books sometime soon.  

 

4. The Marvels by Brian Selznick 

    - Page count for edition read: 664 pages

    - I used to say this was my favorite book by Brian Selznick but after reading Run Away with Me this year, I think they might be equal to each other. This book has been a favorite of mine ever since 2017. I love how Brian uses both prose and his stunning illustrations to tell his stories. They are always stunning pieces of art. I hope he writes more soon. 

5. Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte

    - Page count for edition read: 650 pages

    - Jane Eyre is the most recent book I read on this list and I absolutely adored it. Definitely would not be for everyone, but it was perfect for me.  

 

6. The House of Hades (The Heroes of Olympus #4) by Rick Riordan

    - Page count for edition read: 597 pages

    - I love Rick Riordan's books especially The Camp Half-Blood books. This is my favorite besides The Sun and the Star. The House of Hades is a very emotional novel and I enjoyed following Percy and Annabeth on their journey.  

 

7. Little Women by Louisa May Alcott

    - Page count for edition read: 589 pages

    - Little Women was one of the books that I owned for the longest time before I ever picked it up. I read it for the first time in 2022 and fell in love with the story so much. It's incredible and I highly recommend it to everyone. 

8. Holy Terrors (Little Thieves #3) by Margaret Owen 

    - Page count for edition read: 560 pages

    - The third and final book from one of my top favorite trilogies. I have loved following Vanja and Emeric's story over the years. This was the perfect ending. 

9. Lost Stars by Claudia Gray

    - Page count for edition read: 551 pages

    - I had first heard about this book when it came out  in 2015 and I was not very interested in it because it was described as a Romeo and Juliet story set in the world of Star Wars. I am not a fan of Romeo and Juliet. Then, I  watched a video where this guy was recommending his favorite Star Wars books. Most of the books were ones from the 80s and 90s and then he said that his favorite book from the newer Disney Canon books was this one. He was surprised by how well it was written. 

    - I'm so glad I took the chance with this book because it definitely one of my top ten favorite books of the year so far. It was so great. I especially loved the audiobook which has sound effects and music. 

10. Inkheart (Inkworld #1) by Cornelia Funke

    - Page count for edition read: 536 pages 

    - I grew up loving this book with all my heart. Meggie and Mo's story is one I connected to quite a lot when I first read this over fifteen years ago. This and the rest of the books in the original trilogy are some of my favorite books that I have ever read.
