Baroness Blue | 70 comments Going over a new team member's shelf on CB and she has a few ebooks that show no page numbers when I sort by page number, so I just wanted to check for verification that they are over 160 pages and qualify for TT reads. Thanks for any help you can give, whenever you can give it.


Wolf Games - GR shows Kindle/ebook 96 pages; no other version on GR

Wolf Tracks - GR shows Kindle 97 pages; ebook 136 pages; no other versions

Wolf Nip - GR shows no pages on Kindle; ebook 108 pages; no other versions

Black Gold - GR shows ebook 157 pages; 0 pages Kindle; paperback 256 pages; no other versions

Romero - Kindle 0; ebook 0; paperback 336 pages; no other version

Rachel's Totem - Kindle 117 pages; ebook 115 pages; no other version

The Way You Look Tonight - ebook 0; Kindle 193 pages; no other version

Love Under Two Honchos - ebook 0; Kindle 0; paperback 210 pages; no other version

**Note: After I went through the books with no page numbers showing on her shelf, I clicked a few with page numbers above 160 at random to see what format the book was and a few were Kindle/ebooks that show 169 and 214 pages. Now, since those counts are over 160, do I just take them at face value or should I find out word counts/page counts for each book, since they are ebooks? I just realized, if a shelf shows a book over 160 pages I have not been checking for formats of the books. The only reason I did today was because this person has a lot of ebooks that I needed to get more info on. Do ebooks need to be double checked if they show as being over 160 pages?

Thanks again!

Hi Nancy - sorry I missed your post. I am not sure what your question is. For the Tower Team challenges, those books will work since they are over 160 pages.

Using the ISBN's from the link you provided, according to WorldCat information which is one of GR's "approved" resouces, Elegy for Eddie is 335 pages and The English Girl is 482 pages.

According to allromanceebooks.com -

Wolf Games is 32,561 words (130 pages). Will not work.

Wolf Tracks is 34,024 words (136 pages). Will not work.

Wolf Nip is 28,272 words (113 pages). Will not work.

Black Gold would default to the paperback version. APPROVED

Romero would default to the paperback version. APPROVED

Rachel's Totem is 28,957 words (116 pages). Will not work.

The Way You Look Tonight is 80,000 words (320 pages). APPROVED

Love Under Two Honchos would default to the paperback version. APPROVED

As far as your last question - I will have the Mods answer.

message 661: by Jess (new)

Jess (jesscatt) | 200 comments I've got an audiobook I'd like to find out if it is long enough for this challenge: Metatropolis by Jay Lake

It goes for 9 hours and 4 minutes but with a quick google I couldn't find a word count. If it helps at all I have another audiobook in my library that goes for 10 hours and 29 minutes and Goodreads lists it as 368 pages, so by that logic Metatropolis should be around 300 pages still, I think?


message 662: by Nichole (new)

Nichole | 980 comments We have a team member that recently read Treason (The Grimoire Saga, #2) by S.M. Boyce . GR does not have a print version. It shows Kindle- 430p. and an ebook-380p. According to WorldCat it's 366p. Thanks!

Viscountess Viridian (viscountessviridian) | 178 comments Can I get confirmation of approval for this book for Forest Green?

Trying to Get Over You (Trying, #1) by J.D. Rivera by J D Rivera

The only edition of it in GR is an ebook with no pages listed. Smashwords has a word count of 57,890 words listed here.

Jane, I'm going to turn that one over to Countess Paige, too. Though, I did find a paperback with a page count of 175 on WorldCat. I just don't know if it is large print or not.

CountessPaige de Quantity  | 150 comments I thought my ears were ringing!! I will get back to Christine and Jane about The Call by Shawn Underhill The Emperor's Soul by Brandon Sanderson .


message 679: by Mary X (new)

Mary X (marymaryalwayscontrary) | 5588 comments Can I get a page count added to this:

Operation Spank Me by Christina James

The other 2 editions show 270 & 262 pages.

Amazon has 263 for Kindle and 262 for paperback.

Or should I just have Brooke change her edition.


message 680: by Mary X (last edited Aug 07, 2013 12:15PM) (new)

Mary X (marymaryalwayscontrary) | 5588 comments And another one. The edition shelved by one of my players shows 97 pages.

Amazon shows: 172 for the paperback but 154 for the Kindle. It's 59,000 words.

The audiobook is 6.5 hours which seams too long for the # of pages.

Using 250 words/page it's 236 pages.
Using 300 it's 196.

97 pages would be 608 words/page.

message 684: by Mary X (new)

Mary X (marymaryalwayscontrary) | 5588 comments Got another one:

The Gifts of Imperfection Let Go of Who You Think You're Supposed to Be and Embrace Who You Are by Brené Brown

The edition one of my players shelved says 138 pages, one ebook edition shows 220 pages, the kindle edition says 160 pages.

I don't see a word count listed anywhere.

Mary: HDLS, I going to use my rarely enforced Mods' Veto on that one. While the publisher (Hazelden) shows 160 pages, WorldCat data shows 137 pages for all 6 editions listed. In looking at the Amazon preview, it's 130 pages of actual text. Then a preface of about 20 pages and 8 pages of references.

Please send all hate mail to me, not Countess Paige or any of the other mods.


message 686: by Mary X (new)

Mary X (marymaryalwayscontrary) | 5588 comments No worries. I kind of expected that but wanted to at least ask before I told her to remove it.

Judy, while this looks hilarious and very, very clever... alas, I'm going to veto it. Sorry.

Nichole | 980 comments Thanks Lisa Kay!


Turtlecollector Dennis | 1164 comments I know it is Sunday and this will wait, but I wanted to make sure I posted it. I need some help with this book for one of our members:

The Playboy of Harley Street

There are no page numbers listed in GR, Worldcat or Amazon. The other books in the series by this author are all around 180 pgs, but I couldn't find it on the publisher site either.


message 692: by Lisa Kay (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 15159 comments I found it, T. Looks like it is often combined with another book (Doctor on the Red Carpet). WorldCat has only the large print edition showing page numbers. However, in Australia and on Google Books they say it is 187 pages.

If this is the cover, I'll add it to GRs' datebase:

Thanks, I'll ask md, but it might take awhile to get an answer about the cover. She has been busy and it looks like she was only online long enough to post the book as read.

She also has this book on her currently reading shelf, so can I get approval for this later:

Doctor on the Red Carpet

~Melissa~ Could you please check on Fire and Ice by Mary Tribbey - GR is only showing smashwords edition which states it is a 66 pg novella. I have an ibook version that states it is a 171 pg version?!? Quite a difference and it didn't read like a 66 pg novella,lol.

Thanks for checking!
