I think it's for the challenge. I'm not sure what pages I should put down.

I really liked The Witness. Normally her stand alones don't grab me like her trilogies do but this one is probably my favorite.

Can't you just click the hardcover version and choose "switch to this edition" and use that one for your count?

Mandy Beyers (mandybeyers) | 173 comments Finished A Perfect Blood yesterday during the only part of the day that I wasn't drugged up too much to read. (I had gum grafting yesterday)

Now I'm trying to finish some partially read ebooks so I can go on to the two new library books I picked up:
Divergent and Home Improvement: Undead Edition.

Mary (merinwe) | 1043 comments Nancy, I think what you're saying is that you want to update your reading status, but because you have the wrong edition selected, the page number isn't accurate? Is that right? You can change the edition easily by choosing "More editions..." in the top right corner of Green River, Running Red: The Real Story of the Green River Killer--America's Deadliest Serial Murderer's page, then selecting the edition you have.

Edit: saw that you figured it out. I was on the previous page!

Nancy I understand you mean. click the book to open it and you will see the summary for it. On the right it shows other editions and select the one that matches your edition you are reading. It will ask you if you want to change to this edition.

Edit: Me too. LOL I guess I should look to see if it still needs to be answered.

It was excellent. I was listening to the audiobook which could have used multiple narrators to help distinguish whose chapter I was listening to - but still very well narrated. I kept stopping the book to tell my husband or daughter-in-law something that had just been said. Very good prose.


Lizz (Beer, Books and Boos) | 705 comments I am reading Kiss of Pride (Deadly Angels, #1) by Sandra Hill on my kindle and I am loving it. I got it only for .99
