What do you mean by double points? I have one where the main character was a cook. Do I just count double the pages?

[Dee]

yep - you can have a double page count if the main character in the book fits any of the requirements...just put the number of pages and indicate multiple by 2 or something next to it...I tpically do it lie this

500 (250x2 pages - hero/heroine is...)

Noted and changed. I havn't read that one yet as I'm not that far into the series. I have read both Richard Castle books though. :)

[Heather]

I'm not buying the second one. I can get it from the library. I love Castle, but the books aren't own worthy for me.

[ஐ Katya (Book Queen)ஐ]

Oh yeah, I read them from the library too. I don't think I could re-read them as you'd rather they be the tv characters. However, since I love the series and love to read, it was a must read. Just not buying em. lol

[Heather]

Is it me or does Heat Wave seem like they made that into an episode? Or at least, bits of it made it into different episodes? I need to go back and watch season 1. I bought it last January when I had just got my kindle and then never read it. I felt like I had to finally get to it before the year had come and gone.

So, Heather I think you won. Congrats!
