That stinks - we can count it as read a book that almost had a single digit number in the title.

Hello all,

Getting ready to work on July's Take It or Leave It challenge... make sure you comment here with the Challenges you have completed for June.

I never really thought of that..... We can switch that particular challenge to be a product or difference of 7..... Like 257 (2+5=7) or 817 (8-1=7)

I'm not sure - I just picked a random number - but you can check the books you might have on your "TBR" (to be read) list in goodreads because it gives you the total number of pages.
