message 951: by Lisa Kay (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 15159 comments Dr. Sophie, both those books are on the Chunkster and Triple Threat Approved/Not Approved Books Spreadsheet as "Triple Threats." They will not become Cutthroats.

No worries, LK, thanks!

Thanks - hadn't seen the spreadsheet!


message 954: by Barb (new)

Barb I can't find a word count anywhere for Artful Dodger (Maggie Kean Mis-Adventures, #1) by Nageeba Davis   Artful Dodger, published in 2013 by Barrel Boat Enterprises. Can you help?


message 955: by Lisa Kay (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 15159 comments Artful Dodger (Maggie Kean Mis-Adventures, #1) by Nageeba Davis Barb, I would just have to say that the Amazon list of 212 pages is accurate.


message 956: by Barb (new)

Barb Thanks LK ... again :)


message 957: by ❀Tea❀ (new)

❀Tea❀ (ttea) | 9624 comments Is this When Lightning Strikes (Whiskey Creek, #1) by Brenda Novak by any chance chunkster material?
I couldn't find word count, but pages are pretty close (according to GR)


message 958: by CountessPaige (new)

CountessPaige de Quantity  | 150 comments Nichole - I could not find word counts for either of these books

The Fall is not a chunkster. According to WorldCat it is only 440 pages.

The Night Eternal would be accepted as a chunkster.


message 959: by CountessPaige (new)

CountessPaige de Quantity  | 150 comments Barb - I could not find a word count for your book.

Dreamland would be accepted as a chunkster.

No. Sorry, ❀Tea❀. It doesn't quite make it.


message 961: by CountessPaige (new)

CountessPaige de Quantity  | 150 comments ❀Tea❀ - I could not find a word count for this book either.

When Lightning Strikes is only 441 pages according to WorldCat and would not be a chunkster.


message 962: by Nichole (new)

Nichole | 980 comments Thanks CP!

Thanks CP!


message 965: by Barb (new)

Barb When you have time, would you check these to see if any of them count as chunksters? Several are over 450 pages, but the others might qualify based on word count. Thanks :)


Gettysburg, by Stephen W. Sears

The Sign Of The Book, by John Dunning

Alone, by Lisa Gardner

You're Next, by Gregg Hurwitz

Defending Jacob, by William Landay

Daemon, by Daniel Suarez

Fly Away, by Kristin Hannah

“Chunksters”
Gettysburg, by Stephen W. Sears
The Sign Of The Book, by John Dunning
You're Next, by Gregg Hurwitz
Defending Jacob, by William Landay
Daemon, by Daniel Suarez
Fly Away, by Kristin Hannah

message 967: by Barb (new)

Barb I know, some of them are soooo close, but yet so far *sigh* Thanks for checking on them for me!


message 968: by Ashley Marie (new)

Ashley Marie (darlingdoor) | 1733 comments If you have time, could you check the word count for The Emperor of All Maladies? Based on the length of the audiobook, I'm 99% sure it's a triple threat instead of a chunkster, but I wanted to make certain before I submitted it.

Thank you!

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 15159 comments That's right on the borderline, Ashley Marie. I'll have to turn it over to Countess Paige, and we don't do page counts on Sundays. (I know, you posted it last night. ☺)


message 970: by Mary X (new)

Mary X (marymaryalwayscontrary) | 5588 comments Just doing the Sunday Update and need approval on one of Barbara's books. The version below is what she shelved for us but it's showing only 1 page but others show anywhere from 496 to over 600 pages.

Small Sacrifices: A True Story of Passion and Murder

Amy H (twinypa) | 266 comments I have a question, is cranked by Ellen Hopkins approved for the challenge? It is over 500 pages,but written poem style?


message 973: by CountessPaige (last edited Nov 04, 2013 07:20AM) (new)

CountessPaige de Quantity  | 150 comments Amy - books by Ellen Hopkins have been approved for the challenge but are not considered to be chunksters despite the number of pages.


message 974: by Amy (new)

Amy H (twinypa) | 266 comments Ok thank you!


message 975: by Jane (last edited Nov 04, 2013 09:02AM) (new)

Jane  | 705 comments My computer isn't working too well and I find it difficult to add books on the Ipad so I hope a librarian will add a book to GR database that is not here.

It is: How (Not) to Kiss a Gargoyle (Cindy Eller #5) by Elizabeth A Reeves. I have bought it on Amazon.co.uk


message 976: by Steven (new)

Steven (gallifreyan1218) | 5272 comments Dearest Countess Paige,

Have you discovered any more information on the Dresden Files (specifically, right now at least, books Four - Summer Knight and Five - Death Masks)? I have recently finished Summer Knight and will be reading Death Masks soon, and was just wondering! :D

Thanks!!!


message 977: by Lisa Kay (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 15159 comments I see it here, Jane. Is that different from yours? Is yours other than an eBook?


message 978: by Lisa Kay (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 15159 comments Do you want the Kindle edition?


message 979: by Jane (new)

Jane  | 705 comments Yes, I would prefer the kindle version

The kindle version also only says 197 pages and not 225 like the ebook.

Thank you LK

Jane  | 705 comments Thank you LK, I have started already.


message 985: by Lisa Kay (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 15159 comments I probably shouldn't have approved Summer Knight, but you caught me in a weak moment. ☺

You must be getting soft... you've had a few of those lately! X)

But I'm not complaining, it helps my team and the others involved in the buddy read of the series :D


message 987: by Steven (last edited Nov 04, 2013 01:01PM) (new)

Steven (gallifreyan1218) | 5272 comments I noticed that one of the In Death series is on the approved chunkster spreadsheet.

I'm not going to ask for rulings on all 465,723,183.6432 books in the series, but just those I've noticed on my team's bookshelves today -- are these chunksters or not?

Loyalty in Death (In Death, #9) by J.D. Robb Witness in Death (In Death, #10) by J.D. Robb Treachery in Death (In Death, #32) by J.D. Robb

Thanks! :D

(oh, and for ease of comparison, the already approved one is Conspiracy in Death (In Death, #8) by J.D. Robb )

Ashley Marie (darlingdoor) | 1733 comments *gentle bump*

Just wondering if you've been able to find anything on the word count for The Emperor of All Maladies by Siddhartha Mukherjee .

Thanks in advance, Countess Paige!


message 992: by CountessPaige (new)

CountessPaige de Quantity  | 150 comments Sorry Ashley Marie. I talked to LK about this and we never reported back.

The Emperor of All Maladies by Siddhartha Mukherjee would count as a chunkster but not a triple threat. Sorry!


message 993: by Ashley Marie (new)

Ashley Marie (darlingdoor) | 1733 comments No worries! Thanks, Countess Paige!


message 994: by Stacie (new)

Stacie (thesebooksaremyfriends) I recently finished The Naughty Box which is 9 books in one. GR has the page count as Kindle Edition, 1650 pages. Can I count it as one book or since it's a Kindle set, do I have to count it as 9 books? If the 1650 holds up, then I would ask about extra BAPs for the length but I wanted a ruling. Thanks mods!

Moderators of NBRC | 33496 comments Mod
Stacie, we'd have to check the page count of each book (as it isn't on WorldCat), but yes, if it all bound together, it would count for the appropriate cupcake redemption.

Okay. I'll submit it in the cupcake redemption thread for you mod geniuses to verify.


message 997: by Nichole (new)

Nichole | 980 comments Hi, can I get approval for a book please? I can only find a page number from Amazon. The book is Soul Mates-Bound By Blood by C.L. Champlain , Amazon has a print version at 212 pages.

Thanks!


message 998: by Amy (new)

Amy (traveller2014) | 122 comments Hi,
Can I get a word count for '61 Hours' by Lee Child. It's 492 pages paperback edition?


message 999: by Lisa Kay (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 15159 comments Nichole, I added the paperback to GRs' database = 212 pages. Soul Mates-Bound By Blood by C.L. Champlain


message 1000: by Lisa Kay (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 15159 comments Amy, versions vary in size for 61 Hours (Jack Reacher, #14) by Lee Child from 416 to 492 pages, depending on edition. However, it would qualify as a "chunster."
