400+ Reading Challenge

I was invited by Debrasbookcafe to join the 2012 Big Book Challenge on Goodreads. The main rule is that the book should be 400+ pages, you can read any number, in any format but the pages must be 400+.

This was my original list of books for this challenge: Stones of Summer (581 pages), World Without End (1014 pages), Hunger's Bride (1323 pages) and The Historian (642 pages). What was I thinking with the exception of the 1st and last the other two are humungous 

Instead I've completed Divergent, City of Bones, and City of Ashes. I am currently reading City of Glass (576) and a V.C Andrews bindup of 848 pages. 

Divergent was amazing and I am waiting until the sequel Insurgent comes out in paperback. So far books 1 and 2 of the Mortal Instrument series are good with the exception that I have some issue with Clary, she truly annoys me but more on that when I review the series (hopefully).

I really enjoyed this book. Written from the point of view of a teen boy that shares his experiences at a boarding school on the south and the relationships he forms with his friends. How he navigate these relationships and how they deal with the death of their circle - Alaska. The narrative was exceptional unlike 'Catcher int he Rye' in which the main character's voice was jumbled, confused and immature. Looking for Alaska is worth a read as far as YA books are concerned.
