message 51: by Rebecca NJ (new)

Rebecca NJ (njreader) | 2120 comments Actually Steven, despite the "45 minute" commute to my normal office, I only live 10 miles away...

Ah, gotta love urban living :)


message 52: by Steven (new)

Steven (gallifreyan1218) | 5272 comments That sounds about right. I'm 5 minutes away, and about 1 mile in actual distance. 10 miles x 5 minutes = 50 minutes. Sounds like a pattern!

(God, I'm such a numbers nerd)

Admitting it is the first step ;)

Steven (gallifreyan1218) | 5272 comments Hahaha! First step leads to second step leads to counting leads to numbers haha

Hina (hinaj) | 884 comments Hello Lisa Kay,

I am wondering about Wild Rain by Donna Kauffman. I am planning to read the kindle edition which is not listed in GR and no page numbers estimated on the amazon site except file size is 1872 KB..

Thx

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 15159 comments Hina, someone was adding the eBook while I was watching...ha! I went ahead and added the Kindle, too. I went by the paperback page number.

Wild Rain (Loveswept, No 732) by Donna Kauffman = 256 pages

Thank you LK, but my version is still without page numbers (and cover) :( Going, Going, Ganache by Jenn McKinlay


message 62: by Lisa Kay (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 15159 comments How about now, ❀Tea❀?

Going, Going, Ganache by Jenn McKinlay = 304 pages


message 63: by Barb (new)

Barb Since the audiobooks I listen to are all unabridged, I usually just use the page counts for the hardcover version. Will that work for the RaT, or do I need to try to plan my listening ahead and have the page counts verified?


message 64: by Lisa Kay (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 15159 comments Barb, whatever you want. It might be easier to track the pages according to middle part of this message, or if anyone questions your page count... but I'll leave it up to you.

Thanks LK, I'll work it out somehow in the next 30 hours or so :)

Get your page numbers added or clarified before the craziness of the May Read-a-Thon starts!


message 69: by Mandy (new)

Mandy Beyers (mandybeyers) | 173 comments I am currently reading Unsettled Conditions - according to Smashwords it is 112,405 words, but I don't have page numbers for it.

https://www.smashwords.com/books/view...


message 70: by Lisa Kay (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 15159 comments ✔Verified, Mandy!

Unsettled Conditions (Pindone Files #4-5) by Ann Somerville = 450 pages


message 71: by Hina (new)

Hina (hinaj) | 884 comments Hi Lisa Kay,

Can you verify Bedding the Billionaire by Ruth Cardello. Ebook and Kindle edition are way off. But in this case, I think kindle might have it right. But I want to be sure.


message 72: by Lisa Kay (last edited May 02, 2013 08:04AM) (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 15159 comments Yes, Hina, I agree. The one page count of 583 was the KB of one eBook at one site. Smashwords has the word count at 70,544 = 282 pages, so I say go with the paperback page count, even though Amazon Kindle has it listed 229 pages:

Bedding the Billionaire (Legacy Collection, #3) by Ruth Cardello = 254 pages

**Psst...I changed them all. That's the kind of mood I'm in today. Don't tell anyone. ☺**

Hina (hinaj) | 884 comments Thanks Lisa Kay!! I love it, my lips are sealed! LOL.

message 75: by Monica (new)

Monica (nutz4reading) I have a question. One of my team members has a book with no pages number and is participating in the read a thon. Can I just add the page count that I find on smashwords (by doing the math) so that I can add it to her total.
The book is:
Black Wolf
Smash words has the word count at 22,781 which equals to about 91 pages. I know it doesn't count for the Tower Team Challenge. This book is listed on her read shelf and was read on May 3.

Thanks!


message 76: by Lisa Kay (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 15159 comments Sure, Monica, you can do that.


message 77: by Rebecca NJ (new)

Rebecca NJ (njreader) | 2120 comments I have another ebook without page numbers - Dark Fire.

I was going to try to update it but the print editions are all over the place. Can you help me out?

Thank you!!


message 78: by Lisa Kay (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 15159 comments LOL! Okay, you stumped me, Rebecca. Totally and completely. ☺ That would be a big NO! Those books are too mixed up. I'm going to refer it to the librarians' group. Some of those are listed as #1 in the series and some are listed as #6. The pages range from the one hundreds to the five hundreds.


message 79: by Rebecca NJ (new)

Rebecca NJ (njreader) | 2120 comments I finally stumped LK!! I didn't even notice the different series numbers the first time around.


message 80: by Lisa Kay (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 15159 comments LOL! You did, you did! I did find it at my library, but the paperback and eBook are different there, too. I posted it in the librarians' group; so it is a waiting game.


message 81: by Rebecca NJ (last edited May 05, 2013 01:05PM) (new)

Rebecca NJ (njreader) | 2120 comments Leslie had used 390 pages for her page count which is what I am "tracking." Fingers crossed it is fixed before the end of the challenge ;)


message 82: by Lisa Kay (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 15159 comments That is what my library has for their paperback.


message 83: by Vi (last edited May 05, 2013 05:21PM) (new)

Vi | 1758 comments Lisa Kay - I need a favor. I got a Nora Roberts Book from the library named Portraits of Passion but GR doesn't have a entry listed. Here's a link I found for the book (Amazon didn't have it)

Book Link and this is the only book cover that I was able to find.

THe ISBN I have is 978-073359461-8. ETA: Page count is 315.

Could you help me out to add an entry in GR?


message 84: by Lisa Kay (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 15159 comments Vi,

Is this the bookcover?




message 85: by Vi (new)

Vi | 1758 comments Yep, that is the bookcover. :O :O You have hidden powers!


message 86: by Lisa Kay (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 15159 comments On occasion. It will take a bit. I have to mail it to Photobucket.


message 87: by Lisa Kay (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 15159 comments Vi, do you have a publisher on that one? And a date of publication, while I'm at it?


message 88: by Lisa Kay (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 15159 comments Hardcover or paperback?


message 89: by Vi (new)

Vi | 1758 comments Published by Harlequin Mills & Boon

The individual stores inside were published in 1980s I suppose

Portraits Of Passion @ 2009 by Harlequin Books S.A. --> Would this be the publication date?


message 90: by Vi (new)

Vi | 1758 comments Paperback


message 91: by Lisa Kay (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 15159 comments Yup. Thanks, Vi.

Here you go: Portraits of Passion by Nora Roberts


message 92: by Vi (new)

Vi | 1758 comments Yay! Thanks loads, Lisa Kay!

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 15159 comments Rebecca, they still have issues on this book; they are asking for a SuperUser; however, I'm going with the following pages. I edited them on most of the copies, unless I could tell it was a hardcover, a large print book, or from another country. Tell Leslie she owes me a cupcake for this one! LOL!

Dark Fire (Carpathians, #6) by Christine Feehan = 390 pages

Thank you for taking care of this. I'll pass the message along to Leslie :)

Hina (hinaj) | 884 comments Hey Lisa Kay,

I don't see an kindle edition for My Hero by Debbie Macomber. Can you give me page numbers?

Thanks,

Hina

Hina (hinaj) | 884 comments Hi Lisa Kay,

Can you let me know for One Fine Fireman (The Bachelor Firemen of San Gabriel, #0.5) by Jennifer Bernard ?

Thanks


message 100: by Lisa Kay (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 15159 comments That one was interesting, Hina, because so many sites had both the paperback and the eBook page count listed, which also conflicted with one another. Weird. I finally just bought it myself to see.

One Fine Fireman (The Bachelor Firemen of San Gabriel, #0.5) by Jennifer Bernard = 169 pages.
