35559 Anybody who can answer this?
I have a few books that are two books/novellas in one, where the two books separatly are app.140pg, but the two-in-one book that I have is 280pg++. Do these books count or not?

35559 Just a few hours left till the challenge starts! I have a book or two that can fit one of our defense goals; "book whose author starts (first or last) with B", so I'll take care of that one.

I suggest we write here which books we start to read and if they fit a defense goal, and a new note when they are finished?
