Ashley Marie (darlingdoor) | 1733 comments Hi Lisa Kay!

Can you confirm this for me? I found that it had 358 pages unofficially, but couldn't find an official listing. Thought I had better get it mod approved before adding it to our challenge spreadsheet.

Lost and Found by Nicole Williams

Thanks!


message 153: by Lisa Kay (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 15159 comments Sure, Ashley Marie!

Lost and Found by Nicole Williams = 358 pages

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 15159 comments LOL! Sure, ❀Oo❀, you are more than welcome to divide them up into individual books, as long as the page count - or should we say word count? - qualifies. You might have some difficulty with some of them, such as

Romeo and Juliet  by William Shakespeare = 96 pages, per Amazon

By word count = 25,904/250 = 104 pages

Maybe you can find some 2:1 volumes? However, I don't think you are going to get 40 qualifying books.

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 15159 comments I found this site on-line: Word Counts of Shakespeare's Plays, which might help you, ❀Oo❀.


message 156: by Lisa Kay (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 15159 comments Hmmm... that site says the total word count for Shakespeare's works is 928,913/250 = 3,716. That can't be right, can it?


message 157: by Lisa Kay (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 15159 comments Sure, I can create a book for you that is a combo of two or more works of Shakespeare's from Project Gutenburg totally 160 pages by word count. Why not? It is "public domain" and anyone can create a book from the material. You might not have a pretty cover... but do you really care? If so, we can always just plaster his portrait on the cover.

I'm really confused. I just did a search again, and found another edition that via Adobe reader says that it is 2019 pages that says it's via Project Gutenberg via ManyBooks."


I would image it is due to the different formats. I would go by word count.


message 159: by Lisa Kay (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 15159 comments LOL! Well, ❀Oo❀, it would count for as many books that we can make that equal 160 pages by word count. Do you understand what I mean?

For example, we might have to combine Romeo & Juliet with Timon of Athens = 45,411 words divided by 250 = 181 pages.


message 160: by Lisa Kay (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 15159 comments You could read them in any order you desire and we can just put them together as you see fit.

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 15159 comments **snortsnort** I assume you don't mean a million dollars, ❀Oo❀. So, I would say, treat it like a puzzle and figure out what plays should combine with what play, either by word count to equal the right number of pages, or by complimentary or opposing themes? **shrugs** Up to you. You can PM me your decisions and I'll combine them as you read them... Alright?


message 163: by Lisa Kay (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 15159 comments Okay, $1 mill after taxes...


message 164: by Steven (new)

Steven (gallifreyan1218) | 5272 comments Wait... This counts as multiple books? O_O but its one big book? I'm so confused.


message 165: by Lisa Kay (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 15159 comments Since the content is "public domain" we can create our own separate little books equaling 160 pages or greater.

Jane  | 705 comments @ Lisa Kay.

I have a new page problem.

I am just starting The Rising (Darkness Rising, #3) by Kelley Armstrong and this Hachette from the UK is the edition I am reading, but the pagenumber is off. According to Amazon Uk it is 406 pages long just like the other editions.

Could you change this edition to the right amount of pages.

Thanks


message 167: by Lisa Kay (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 15159 comments ✔Done! The Rising (Darkness Rising, #3) by Kelley Armstrong


message 168: by Jane (new)

Jane  | 705 comments Thank you.

You are brilliant.


message 169: by Lisa Kay (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 15159 comments **snortsnort** Hardly.

✿Claire✿ (clairelm) | 1222 comments Hi LK, please could you check the page numbers for this one The Case of the Flashing Fashion Queen (A Dix Dodd Mystery #1) by Norah Wilson ? According to Amazon it's 226 pages long.

Jane  | 705 comments I have added a new edition of The Last Colony by Scalzi as none of the ones on GR seemed to fit. But of course it is all alone not combine with the other editions.

Is this something you do Lisa Kay or does it happen automatic after a while?

I added The Last Colony


message 173: by Lisa Kay (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 15159 comments Just a minute, Jane. I'll send you directions...


message 174: by Lisa Kay (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 15159 comments Jane, I'm assuming you want to do this yourself, for practice.

As a GRs Librarian, be sure to follow these Rules for Combining Book Editions.

Click on the word "combine" to the far right of the screen, on the same line as "Other Editions." On the screen after that, I usually do a "Ctrl+F" for the title, then click the appropriated boxes. You can see more info under "details" of each edition, if you are unsure, as it is just a drop-down box. It will even tell you which one is the one you added.



message 175: by Lisa Kay (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 15159 comments If you don't want to do it, Jane. I'm be more than happy to do it for you.


message 176: by Jane (new)

Jane  | 705 comments I think I would like to try.


message 177: by Jane (new)

Jane  | 705 comments I get a red box saying "Only Goodreads librarians Can do this."

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 15159 comments I thought you were a GR Librarian, Jane?


message 180: by Jane (new)

Jane  | 705 comments No, I am just a GR user.

Thanks! You are the bomb! ☺


message 184: by Jane (new)

Jane  | 705 comments I don't know why I come up as librarian. I just checked the 17 edits I have made and most I remember as I have read both Danish books and others that I just haven't been able to find on Goodreads and then added myself.

I have never had a problem adding a book but I have never applied to become a librarian.


message 185: by Jane (new)

Jane  | 705 comments Lisa Kay.

I am reading The Sea of Monsters

It is missing pagenumbers. Would you add 279 pages.

Thank you

✿Claire✿ (clairelm) | 1222 comments Thanks LK!! :)


message 187: by Lisa Kay (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 15159 comments ✔Done! The Sea of Monsters (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, #2) by Rick Riordan

I also combined the editions of The Last Colony, by Scalzi.

~Melissa~ Hi Lisa Kay,
I wish to read Blood Royal (Blood Destiny #5) by Connie Suttle . Could you confirm 228 pages please - that is what I found on Amazon site. I have the nook book but no page count on their site.
Thanks!

message 194: by Erin (new)

Erin (ecardwell) Hello I'm reading Let's Pretend by Monique DeVere which is listed as 90 pages, however it is the kindle version and I couldn't find a paper version of it, I was wondering if there was a away to find out the page count, or if I just use the number of pages in the kindle version? Thanks in advance!!


message 195: by Lisa Kay (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 15159 comments Sorry, Erin. I can't find any word count anywhere. I found several "unoffical" listings between 70's-90's pages. Amazon/Kindle has it listed at 92 pages. Despite the KB of the file size, I'd say that's about right, due to the price. I saw the first chapter (for free) at the author's web site; looks light.

If you find something elsewhere, I'll review it again.

Let's Pretend by Monique DeVere = 92 pages


message 196: by Erin (new)

Erin (ecardwell) Perfect I didn't think it was enough because it is such a light read I just wanted to check! Thank you!!!!!


message 197: by Rhonda (last edited May 26, 2013 02:04PM) (new)

Rhonda | 550 comments I've just finished reading On the Street Where You Die whick I believe is only available as a Kindle book. There is no listing for number of pages on GR. Amazon says 170 pages. Here's the link http://www.amazon.com/Street-Where-St...

In addition, the sequel A Dead Ringer has no page count listed on GR - Amazon shows 174 pages. http://www.amazon.com/Ringer-Stanley-...


Would a librarian be willing to update the GR pages?


message 198: by Lisa Kay (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 15159 comments ✔Done.

On the Street Where You Die (Stanley Bentworth, #1) by Al Stevens = 170 pages

A Dead Ringer (Stanley Bentworth, #2) by Al Stevens = 174 pages


message 199: by Rhonda (new)

Rhonda | 550 comments Thanks, Lisa Kay!


message 200: by Mary X (new)

Mary X (marymaryalwayscontrary) | 5588 comments Can I get a page count added to this book that Melissa on Cadet Blue read?

Tales Of Passion, Tales Of Woe. Amazon shows this edition having 416 pages.

Thanks.
