You had me counting A's after this comment and the funny thing is that I have 406 books on my TBR and I found exactly 1 book with 4A's and 1 with 6A's but lots of books with multiple E's and T's.

I, on the other hand, needing a book with exactly 5 A's, kept finding books with 6 of them! Go figure...

The Unwritten, Vol. 6: Tommy Taylor and the War of Words

Will this work for one "I"? I'm only asking because the 6 is written as a number, not as a word.

I have a question. I found a book with 5 n's as I was looking at auidobooks on Overdrive. So I downloaded it. But once I looked on GR, the full title I downloaded is only listed a few times with all the words when I look under "all editions".

Here is the title for the audio: (the one I'll listen to)

Here is the title for the pb I would use for page count.
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8...


So my question, is......can this still count as a 5 (N) book?

[Elizabeth]

Megan, The unwritten works. Enjoy!

[Elizabeth]

Donna, I don't see any N in the title of the book set you've linked.

I see N's when I click on both links. The audio version has 5 n's, the paperback has 3 or 4.

audio version: "Mandela's Way: Fifteen Lessons on Life, Love, and Courage"
Mandela's Way: Fifteen Lessons on Life, Love, and Courage



paperback version: "Mandela's Way: Lessons on Life, Love, and Courage.
Mandela's Way: Lessons On Life

Ok, now I see the correct book. Count the N's of the edition you're going to read/listen and link when you post.

[Megan]

YAY! I'm in love with this series, and I'm trying to fit as many books of it as I can. Thank you! :D
