I have completed this challenge as I reached my goal of 12 Mammoth sized books over 450 pages the 17th of October when I finished Good Husband Material by Trisha Ashley.

This challenge was harder than expected as quite a few of what I thought of as longer books were just under 450 pages.

1.  Wild Swans: Three Daughters of China by Jung Chang (660 pages)
2.  The Well of Ascension by Brandon Sanderson (765 pages)
3. The Hunt by Joseph Williams (459 pages)
4. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince by J.K. Rowling (607 pages)
5. Ship of Magic by Robin Hobb (834 pages)
6. Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton (466 pages)
7. Watership Down by Richard Adams (470 pages)
