Just because I need reassurance :-D…the MPE for Eve's Diary by Mark Twain IS 109 pages, yes? (I think it’s older books that have appeared in multiple places that makes me anxious that I haven’t found the proper MPE.)

No change in points, just amending to add the second read collection to fix my previous page issue :-)

Thank you, Elizabeth! I wanted to double check since I'd already messed up once...the thought of having to find something else to fit those slim parameters was giving me heart palpitations...(I already have the rest of my CiV10 planned and it's like a house of cards...had I lost that Dickinson slot, the whole thing would have crumbled!)
Just realized this is probably a better place to post my question :-)Elizabeth (Alaska) wrote: "Post 408 Anika wrote: "15.1 CiV10

I was afraid of this, even though I thought I’d properly researched it and since it was the edition that appears on the author’s goodreads page I thought I was good (I always thought they listed them in order of most-rated and listed the MPE edition there ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ i stand corrected **just realized my mistake, that I went with the Kindle edition as the MPE, when I need to find the most popular print version, yes? I don't want to make the same mistake again...I hate having to put you mods to more work so try to get things right the first time :-/**). Would the poetry-multiple-book rule apply here? If I read the Second Series it should still fit within the parameters for dates/page count? Any help/suggestions welcome!
