Hina (hinaj) | 884 comments Hi

Can you let me know about these two below?

Free Falling by Debra Webb and Keeping Kennedy by Debra Webb

Thanks!


message 802: by Lisa Kay (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 15159 comments Hina, while I couldn't find a word count for Free Falling by Debra Webb , it looks as if it was a one time "freebie" on B&N and Amazon and that is is a short story vs. novella; therefore it is not approved.

However, Keeping Kennedy by Debra Webb is listed on WorldCat as 174 pages and is approved.

Cool Thanks. I just needed one of them to meet the page count, so I can use it for another challenge as well :)

Karsyn  (imzadi) Just wanted to leave a note that I'm starting a book that doesn't list a page number here at GRs. The book is ~

Crossing Lines by Keith Houghton


and Amazon lists this as pages ~ Print Length: 436 pages

I can't find anything on it yet, Brooke. Must be very new.

Came out in June, it just seems to be an unknown author. I stumbled across his first one months ago and really enjoyed it. The only info I found on it was at Amazon with the 436 page length and over 108k words.


message 807: by Mary X (new)

Mary X (marymaryalwayscontrary) | 5588 comments High. I wanted to get approval on this:

The MacKenzie Brothers Dane, Thomas, Riley, Cooper (Box Set) by Liliana Hart

There's no print version. Amazon has it as 210 pages but doesn't show a word count. Goodreads also says 210 pages.

it's 5 shorts:

Dane: 51 pages
Thomas: 61 pages
Riley: 57 pages
Cooper: 59 pages
A Mackenzie Christmas: 35 pages
the individual shorts add up to 263 pages.

Just figured I'd get approval now before I use it for our September challenge and find out that it doesn't count.

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 15159 comments Reference:

The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas = 464,450 words = 1,857.8 pages.

Yes, sorry it is taking so long, Brooke. NONE of his books are on WorldCat, which I find interesting.

We'll find it... eventually. ☺

Crossing Lines by Keith Houghton


message 812: by CountessPaige (last edited Sep 12, 2013 01:58PM) (new)

CountessPaige de Quantity  | 150 comments Brooke -

There's an interesting story about this author's books. He did not print them in dead tree format, someone else did. He had to fight to get the copyright back. It was all quite interesting!

Anyway, the author has indicated that Crossing Lines by Keith Houghton is over 108,000 words and acoroding to the publisher, it is 434 pages. I'm sure it will get added to WorldCat eventually! APPROVED

Yeah, Paige, I read the story when he had posted it on his blog/here on GoodReads. I really liked his first book a lot and don't remember how I found him, probably a recommendation here because of another book I read. He even thanked me for reading/reviewing his book here! :)

Thanks for researching into it. Guess I need to get started. I took a break from reading today. :D

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 15159 comments Yay, your ladyship! You rule.


message 815: by Jenn (new)

Jenn (engelsigh) | 1339 comments I wanted to see what the Word count is on Under the Dome to see if it has enough words to count for the new cupcake challenge. Page wise it's about 1100 pages.

Jennifer, at 331,309 words, it falls just short of “Cutthroat Competitor Cupcake” -- however, it works for a “Triple Threat.”

Jenn (engelsigh) | 1339 comments How about Cryptonomicon


message 818: by Lisa Kay (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 15159 comments Jennifer wrote: "How about Cryptonomicon"

Ah! Maybe. Let me consult with Countess Paige.


message 819: by Lisa Kay (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 15159 comments Yes, Jennifer, Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson will count as a “Cutthroat Competitor Cupcake” .

Rhonda | 550 comments **Please disregard. Nichole found this answer for me**

Hi!

I'm looking for a word count on 11/22/63 So far I haven't been able to find one. I'm hoping that with your sources, you'll be able to help me.

Thanks!


message 821: by Rhonda (new)

Rhonda | 550 comments Also, while I'm at it. The Memoirs Of Cleopatra

Is there a source I can use that doesn't require an account?

I don't know. I'll have to check with Countess Paige and she is away this morning.

I do know that The Memoirs Of Cleopatra will surely work as a “Cutthroat Competitor Cupcake” - if only because of the sheer length of the audio.

Vicky (librovert) | 3137 comments Doing some read shelf and page count checks, can I get these approved?

Dark Citadel by Cherise Sinclair. I can't figure out where the 152 pages came from but the Kindle Editions are listed at 179 pages and the word count is listed here at 56,000.

Club Shadowlands by Cherise Sinclair is listed here at 47,500 pages.


message 825: by Vicky (new)

Vicky (librovert) | 3137 comments This one is a bit iffy, but I'm going to try anyway. :D

Pretty When They Collide by Rhiannon Frater

Kindle's estimated print length is 145 (here). ITunes' esimated print length is 182 (here.)

The CreateSpace paperback is 136 pages (here, but the look inside view shows that it probably exceeds our 250 words/page estimate.

The audiobook is 4 hrs and 28 minutes which is the equivalent of about 48,300 words per the script converter.

I found the second book of the same series on Smashwords with a word count of 82,070. Amazon lists it's page count at 246. That puts it at ~333 words/page. By that estimate Pretty When They Collide would be ~48,285 words.


message 826: by Lisa Kay (last edited Sep 14, 2013 01:19PM) (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 15159 comments Vicky, Dark Citadel (Masters of the Shadowlands, #2) by Cherise Sinclair and Club Shadowlands (Masters of the Shadowlands, #1) by Cherise Sinclair approved.

Re: Post #845, I'll let Countess Paige see what she can find.


message 827: by Hina (new)

Hina (hinaj) | 884 comments Hi,

I have found two conflicting page numbers, if someone can let me know if this one would be approved or not?

Jayden's Faith by Emma Daniels

Thanks!


message 828: by Lisa Kay (last edited Sep 16, 2013 11:47AM) (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 15159 comments Jayden's Faith by Emma Daniels = 44,000 words = 176 pages. Approved.

Rhonda | 550 comments I'm looking for word count on Turning Angel (Penn Cage, #2) by Greg Iles

I look at AR and World Cat with no success, but I'm not sure I was searching correctly. I found the book on WC but no word count.

Thanks!

Check out all editions, Rhonda. It says 501 p here. So, it is certainly worth a "chunkster." Maybe more, if Countess Paige find something. I'll let her look into it.


message 831: by Barb (new)

Barb OK, I was going to look these up myself, but unless I missed something somewhere, you have to pay to use WorldCat?

Anyhow, could I please have page counts for these books? Is it possible to add them to the books' records on GR or is that a no-no?


Armando's Treasure

The Last Page

The Baker's Man

No Experience Required

Wallflower

Thanks!

The Baker's Man - 198 pages (added to GRs database)

message 834: by Jane (new)

Jane  | 705 comments I am looking for wordcount for two books and I just can't find them myself.


The Madship by Robin Hobb
and
The Witching Hour by Anne Rice

Just to see if the might count for Cutthroat Competitor Cupcakes.


message 835: by Jane (last edited Sep 20, 2013 07:16AM) (new)

Jane  | 705 comments Another question.

I might listen to The Moon of Gomrath and Boneland by Alan Garner but want to know if they are long enough to be approved.

The Moon of Gomrath ranges from 165 to 202 pages.
Boneland ranges from 145 to 165 pages.


message 836: by Hina (new)

Hina (hinaj) | 884 comments Hi,

I needed a page count for King of Hearts (Wonderland, #1) by Cheyenne McCray ? I purchased it from All Romance Ebooks and it has a word count of 49,313, but GR says its below 160. Cna you let me know if this would be an approved book?

Thanks!

The Mad Ship is just a chunkster. description
The Witching Hour would be considered a triple threat.

message 843: by Amanda (new)

Amanda (daughterofoak) | 3473 comments Can I get a ruling on Thanking the Monkey Rethinking the Way We Treat Animals by Karen Dawn ? The page count is 380, but there are some pictures. I tried looking it up on Worldcat, but I didn't see where there was a word count.


message 844: by Jane (new)

Jane  | 705 comments I need a bit of help if possible.

I am just now listening to Dreams Underfoot by Charles de Lint There are lots of audio version here on GR but not the exact Audible version that I am listening to. Do I just chose one of the others?
