Lisa since I am a librarian I have been adding page numbers for books of my team members when page numbers are listed and I find a reliable source. I hope you don't mind. If I have a really hard time then I will post it in here. So far I have been able to find them.
No, I don't mind at all, Monica. Thank you.
Rhonda, I think I found the one you were worried about for Madilynn. Countess Paige sent me a PM.
= 53,160 word count = 212 page count

Rhonda wrote: "Yes, Oo contacted her about that one this morning."Tell her to take it back. It qualifies.
Last one http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/...Marcella has one book on her challenge shelf without page numbers. Found this via Amazon - http://www.amazon.com/Kiss-Moonlight-...
That's all I found.
I'm glad this task is done....whew. Is it too early for a Margarita?

From me to you - thank you for all of your hard work. And remember, it's always 5:00 PM somewhere!

Thank you so much - and here's something for us to share.....cuz we deserve it!
**hmmmmmm Lisa Kay takes some munchies and a tiny sip of the Margarita** Thanks!
Lisa Kay wrote: "I'll go with the paperback. = 282 pages"Thank you! I have to ask when there are such discrepancy with page numbers, just to be on the safe side.
After the drink and food, you are going to need dessert. 
Oh, yes. I definitely want dessert. Thanks, Hina!
That's it. I have to quit NBRC. All the ice cream and cupcakes are too tempting! Although I guess it's better if I'm looking at them then actually eating them.
Lisa Kay wrote: "So, Jane, do you still want me to take the issue to the Librarians' Group?"No, that's okay Lisa Kay, Thank you. It all looks fine now.
I am now trying audiobooks. I am currently listening to The Dead Girls' DanceThis is an edition I have added as neither of the two audio editions fit this audible edition
Both had different publishing dates and one had a different narrator.
When I was adding it there was nowhere to add length (that I saw) but there was room for page count. I wasn't sure what the right page count is so I didn't add it.
Will you be able to look at this Lisa Kay.
I know there is a Librarians group, is it better to take this kind of question there?
As far as I can see I have to be a member of the group to ask questions.
Jane wrote: "When I was adding it there was nowhere to add length (that I saw) but there was room for page count. I wasn't sure what the right page count is so I didn't add it."For audiobooks, GR uses hours rounded up as the number of pages. I added it.
(Sorry I keep butting in, I'm a super librarian and have this issue where I can't leave an error unfixed after I see it :s)
Thank you Vicky. And for my sake you may butt in as much as you like. It looks much better now all the extra details are there.
Jane, I added length at the synopsis for
. If anyone questions you on the pages, for this challenge, refer them to this post. We'll go with the paperback version = 380 pages
Hi Lisa Kay, Can you tell me page number for The Water Baby? So far I have only found an estimated page number from amazon.
Thank you Lisa Kay
Hina wrote: "...Can you tell me page number for The Water Baby?"Hina, per a May 23rd announcement in the Librarians' Group, we are now allowed to use Amazon data. I couldn't find a word count anywhere else.
= 130 pages
cool. That makes things alot easier, we must be allowed to use amazon now since they bought GR.

Goodreads is showing 113 pages for it. http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12...
Amazon is showing 193 pages and 369 KB. - http://www.amazon.com/Nothing-But-Tro...
My electronic version is showing 173 pages.
Can I use the Amazon count??
Hi LK! Can I have a page estimate on
? Amazon estimates Print Length to be 166. GR's ebook edition estimates to be 489 pages.. Thanks!
Marchioness of Magenta wrote: "Hi LK! Can I have a page estimate on ? Amazon estimates Print Length to be 166. GR's ebook edition estimates to be 489 pages.. Thanks!"Well, I'm not going to change the data on the Kindle edition, since that is our "bible" now.
However, I found a word count: 44,240 which =
= 177 pagesIf you want to reference Countess Paige to this entry, or anyone tracking your page count, feel free.
Marcella is reading these and I noted that neither has page numbers. Can you help? I'm trying to help out with increasing the Sunday Updates accuracy of our Sunday updates.http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...

Thanks, LK! This is an older book read by one of the members. I'm just checking through them now. Lisa Kay wrote: "Marchioness of Magenta wrote: "Hi LK! Can I have a page estimate on

I might read The Zombie Chronicles.Here on GR it says 167 pages.
On Amazon.co.uk it says 287 pages
and on Smashwords the word count is 61805 which is approximately 247 pages.
And then there is the ebook here on GR that has page count as 468 pages.
Can you help Lisa Kay?

changed the page count to 287, since it will probably all be run through their Amazon filter anyway. Added word count = 61,805. Made the eBook 247.
Hi Lisa Kay!Just confirming that I did my math right:
Smashwords has
listed at 58,545 words, which would convert to 234 pages, correct?Just wanted to make sure before I ok'd it for the challenge!
Mod
Yes.
Does anyone know if this means anything in regards to page numbers (or maybe words in the book): "Loc 2695" at the end of a book on a Kindle?thanks!
Hey LK - curious
has several different page counts >> 219; 690; 278; 420. Wondering which is correct?!? Any help would be appreciated!! ☺

There is a yellow librarian's note on that one, so I'm not going to touch it. I guess the author republished it herself and designated the 690 page count.
I did find it on Smashwords with a word count = 99,585, which equals 398 pages. I would go with that for this challenge and just refer people to this post for a ruling.
