I stated NO anthologies in the list description from the ..."Hello, love the list, thanks for starting it - novellas are a great way to find good authors without huge time commitments or a lot of money. The second book on the list is an anthology ( I know, you were super clear, too. Lol) but the author listed is J. L. Beck. So that's the short story they are saying is so good?
Thanks for bringing this to my attention, Cc. For some reason, GR didn't notify me of your comment, so I'm just now seeing it. I was going through the list deleting anthologies again and missed it the first time through. It's gone now.
@Julianna What the max. number of pages? 100-150? (I noticed Let it Snow, #503, The Pirate's Tempting Stowaway, #434, and The Captain's Bluestocking Mistress, #488, on the list). I'm Dutch, and to me a novella has upto 100-150 pages.
Since an average book contains approx. 250-300 words per page, and depending on who you ask, a novella can be up to 50K words, I allow stories that are up to approx. 200 pages on this list. The three books you cited each come in at right around 200 pages, so I'm OK with them being on the list. Anything above that, though, definitely wouldn't qualify.
