Jane  | 705 comments Thank you Lisa Kay, I have added it and updated my status.

New Question:

I have finished Shifty Business (Bend-Bite-Shift Trilogy, #3) by Olivia Hardin Shifty Business by Olivia Hardin. According to Amazon this book is 173 pages long. Can I have this confirmed please.

Cupcakes Aren't Just for Eating (The Trixie Pristine series) by Laina Turner Not approved."


I suspected that. Thanks!

Kate S | 1998 comments I read this edition of Candide

I did also read the introductions, information about Voltaire, the endnotes and the footnotes. I was less interested and did not read the information about the parodies/imitations (about 2 pages).

I am completely agreeable with whatever the moderators say about this book, but it will show up on my shelves as read with 176 pages. I have not currently counted it in the tower team challenge as the book Candide is listed at 31,700 words on ARBookfinder.

Here is some more information about the edition I read: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/candi....

My question is does it qualify for the Tower Teams Challenge, or not?

According to smashwords.come = 53,840 word = 215.36 pages Approved.

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 15159 comments Kate S, the original word count of Candide, by Voltaire = 36,260 words = 145 pages (which is what WorldCat also says for this edition). With the additions mentioned on B&N, I'm inclined to approved this book for page count of 176.

Approved.

Thanks, Lisa Kay. I knew this one was a toss up, and I appreciate your research and approval on this one.

Sorry, Vicky. Countess Paige has been tied up with work these last couple of days. I'm not sure when she'll be back.

Thanks for the reminder, though.

Not a big deal, just noticed she had responded to some other posts after that, so I wanted to give it a bump. :)

Whoa. I have actually found five different word counts for that book. Some that fall in the range and some that don't. The most I've ever had was three for a book. Still, I'll approve it.

message 864: by Rhonda (new)

Rhonda | 550 comments Hi.

I'm going to finish The Strain (The Strain Trilogy, #1) by Guillermo del Toro today. It has 403 pages, but the font is teeny tiny, so I'm thinking it might qualify as a chunkster. I've looked on AR and WorldCat but can't find a word count. Another member of our team has read this as well.

Will you check your sources and see if it might be doable as a chunkster?

Thanks!

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 15159 comments Rhonda wrote: "The Strain (The Strain Trilogy, #1) by Guillermo del Toro"

Yes, Rhonda, at approximately 152,000 words, it would count as a "chunkster." Approved.

Rhonda | 550 comments Yea! Thanks LK!

message 868: by Mary X (new)

Mary X (marymaryalwayscontrary) | 5588 comments Can I get approval for this one: Coraline by Neil Gaiman . It says 162 but I have someone planning this for one of our first book hunt tasks and don't want to have it discounted too late.


message 869: by CountessPaige (new)

CountessPaige de Quantity  | 150 comments @Vicky - sorry for the delay.

Regarding Pretty When They Collide, I was hoping to find a word count and I could not.

I am going to default to the print edition by CreateSpace at 136 pages. Unfortuantely, this book is NOT APPROVED

Coraline by Neil Gaiman Approved.


message 871: by Hina (new)

Hina (hinaj) | 884 comments Can someone confirm More than a Man by Emily Ryan-Davis ? Amazon estimates that the pages are 110 while all romance ebooks states that 41,097 as the word count, which would roughly put it above 160.

Thanks,

Hina

Hina (hinaj) | 884 comments Can I ask about one more? Jayden's Faith by Emma Daniels ? I have seen it as a different title...Judging Jayden.

Based on the descriptions, it does appear that Jayden's Faith by Emma Daniels and Judging Jayden by Emma Daniels are the same book. I was able to find Judging Jayden on Smashwords and is 52,020 words. APPROVED

Basilinna Banana (basilinnabanana) | 20 comments A Place in Time is listed as 150 pages on Goodreads and Amazon. Smashwords has it listed at 42,580 words.

I figure it's good, but just wanted to get an "official" approval in case anyone else comes across it in the update! :)

message 878: by Eni (new)

Eni | 2349 comments ermhmmm i have a problem. i was gonna read The Colorado Kid by Stephen King but there are some editions listed as having less then 160 pages. I know i have an actual copy of the book somewhere but sadly i can't find it to check the number of pages.. so i may or may not have made a totally legal dl of the book which is the one i'm going to use. So can i get a ruling? :|


message 879: by Lisa Kay (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 15159 comments Eni wrote: "The Colorado Kid by Stephen King"

Sorry, Eni. AR Bookfinder lists that as having 33,925 words = 135.7 pages.
Not approved.


message 880: by Eni (last edited Oct 04, 2013 08:36AM) (new)

Eni | 2349 comments no biggie. i'll read it later i guess. And it would have totally fooled me if my e-reader didn't list it as 50 pages. Even though it usually has a different page count then the books usually have, i thought 50 was a bit low lol

but thanks =)


message 881: by Jess (last edited Oct 04, 2013 08:33PM) (new)

Jess (jesscatt) | 200 comments I was about to start Coraline but thought I'd check here first... my copy is 185 pages, but I flicked through and counted 11 pictures that take up one page each. This still puts it over the minimum page count but since I was only really planning to read it for the October challenge, I'd like to make sure if it is long enough first. Thanks to anyone who can confirm if this or not :)

Hina (hinaj) | 884 comments For the event 1 october read-a-thon, I needed page number for this book, Rachel's Cowboy (Harlequin American Romance Series) by Judy Christenberry ? Its a kindle format, but I have found two different page numbers, so I am not sure which one to use...or just go with the paperback page count.
