Hello! I’m always looking for new books to get my hands on and I’m fortunate enough that I can listen to then on audible at work. Unfortunately that also means I go through them quickly.
I love long, slow building books with lots of worldbuilding. Wheel of Time and Lord of the Rings are two of my personal favorites. If you’ve ever read a book and thought the pacing was too slow, odds are its something I would enjoy. Any suggestions?

*The Stormlight Archives* by Brandon Sanderson seems like a perfect fit for you. Four books currently, with a fifth released later this year which will complete the current Arc, and given her finished off the *Wheel of Time* series you’ll already be familiar with his writing. The first book, *The Way of Kings* , is considered the slowest burning of the series as it is a huge world-building endeavour and at just over 45 hours it definitely has the ‘long’ criteria met.
I read fast. normally I get through four or five books in a week.
discovery of witches took me more than a month. it’s full of detail and atmosphere, but good lord it crawled.
Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry.
Try Guy Gravial Kay. A lot of his stuff is currently free on Audible and it’s amazing.
