Page Numbers, Just About Page Numbers... Showing 301-350 of 1,115

[~Melissa~]

Thanks!

[Jane]

I have a new problem.


I have just finished Chocolate Shoes And Wedding Blues
It is the only Kindle version and it has the right published date but it is basically all the information it has. It is missing page numbers and even a picture and asin.

link: this is my amazon.co.uk edition
according to Amazon the page count is 419.

[Jane]

Missing page number for:

currently reading: Amazon says 230 pages

[md]

For books 160 pages, is that with a word count or is that just for books that have pictures?

[Lisa Kay]

Jane,

= 419 pages

BTW, for

= 230 pages - but the paperback has 256. I'm not going to put in that date, as it will do us no good when Amazon takes over. I'm sure they'll run a program that coverts to their data. If you need the higher page count in a contest, just refer the to this post, as the paperback is listed as 240. **shrugs**

I'm not 100% sure I understand your question, md.

[Lisa Kay]

We do check "word count" on juvenile - or "chapter" books that have a little picture at the beginning of each chapter.

We will try and check any book you feel qualifies for 160 by word count, regardless of what is listed. We just may not change it in the GRs database.

[Jane]

Thank you LK

[md]

that's what I was asking.

It was mostly prompted by the fact that I got out of the library for the challenge (behind enemy lines). I know Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was disallowed last round even though GR had it as 170 pages so I wondered if the children's/teen type books were subject to a word count as well as a page count. It was a mostly I'm not entirely sure type question.

Maybe my first question should have been is this an elligible book?

[Lisa Kay]

With "juvenile" or "chapter" books for younger audiences, we try - if at all possible - to find word count.

Since it is a classic, with Charlie and the Chocolate Factory we had a definite word count of 30,644 = 123 pages (rounded up).

With Athena the Brain we can only go by Amazon's page count and a "look inside" to view the size of the pictures.

We try our best, though it seems unfair at times.

Anyway...yes, Athena the Brain has been approved as "legitimate" for this challenge.

[Lisa Kay]

CORRECTION: We have found a source for Athena the Brain that has word count.

Could you PM me who has that book on their shelf, md, and I will have Countess Paige ask them to remove it.

Sorry for the confusion.

[Lisa Kay]

= word count = 18,735 = 75 pages (rounded up).

[Lisa Kay]

Never mind, md. I've figured out which two people have the book on their TT shelves.

[Jane]

I am one of the ones that had Athena on my bookshelf and used it for BEL. #1. Behind Enemy Lines - Cathy Galloway, Team B'dazzled Blue
I have removed it from my TT-mango-tango bookshelf.

I have also read Persephone the Phony (Goddess Girls #2) for the colour part of thechallenge but that might be even shorter. Will you find out Lisa Kay? If it is also too short I will remove it and ask Steven to remove them from our challenge

[Lisa Kay]

Sorry, Jane. Yes, I'll check into it. Countess Paige has found a reliable source, though not approved by GRs, I'm sure.

Pertaining to "juvenile" and "chapter" books, we will have this spelled out more for Round III.

[Lisa Kay]

word count = 16,063 = 64 pages

[Jane]

That is okay, I will remove this from my bookshelf right away.

I have now removed both books from my TT bookshelf

[Lisa Kay]

Thanks, Jane. We appreciate it.

[Lisa Kay]

FYI, regarding verifying word count, this does sometimes works in the person's favor, especially with "juvenile" and "chapter" books.

[CountessPaige]

Thanks Jane!

[Jane]

Not a problem. And as I try to have my books fit more than one challenge they still both count towards the other challenge I had them down for.

[Lisa Kay]

You never know. Your captain might use a "blinkie" cupcake on it. Then page count doesn't matter. ☺

[Jane]

Nah, I got plenty of other books lined up. So no reason to use a "blinkie" cupcake :-)

[Rhonda]

Hi, Lisa Kay..

There are 3 books on these shelves without page numbers. Can you help?

Let me know if you want me to gather the titles.

Thanks

✔Done!

[Rhonda]

There is 1 title on this shelf that has no page number.
I think this is the last one.

Thank you, Lisa Kay.

[CountessPaige]

Rhonda - again, thank you for back-checking the page numbers!

[Jane]

There is 2 books (as far as I can see) on my shelf that are missing pagenumbers.
Will you look at it when you have time Lisa Kay?

There is also several pagenumbers missing on my first TT shelf but as we are way past that, I guess it doesn't matter.

Huh? You mean Round I? If so, yeah. LOL!

[Jane]

Yes, I meant round 1. :-)

Thank you LK

[Lisa Kay]

Sure, Jane.

[md]

sorry! I wasn't online. Now we've got that sorted out I'm realising that my bookshelf is going to be going down by quite a few books!

they both count under the page count rule but I can't find a word count for either of them to check.

Working on 40,000 words being 160 pages, I'm assuming don't qualify
but does?

[CountessPaige]

Hi md - let me help you out.

is 35,451 words = 142 pages (rounded up) and will not work.

is
39,102 words = 156 pages and will not work.

is 52,102 words = 208 pages and will work.

I will need to do a little more research on the other two. Leave them on your shelf and I will get back to you.

[md]

thanks :)

[Mary X]

I need page numbers added to these on Brooke's shelf on Pewter Blue:



hardcover version shows 160 pages:

and this one this edition shows 168 pages:

Thanks!

[Turtlecollector Dennis]

md - I can't find word counts on them either, but Worldcat also has them at just a little less than GR
228 pgs and 200 pgs

When I looked at the preview from the publisher, the pages did not have pictures, they were just full of words. Still up to the mods to rule on.

[Karsyn]

@Mary ~ I switched my editions, if that helps. I read everything on my Kindle, but don't care what edition it says on my shelves, so I can make sure they always say actual book pages, versus my Kindle, if that helps.

[✿Claire✿]

Does this mean that books like the Chronicles of Narnia (such as this one: ) need checking for word count too?

[Marchioness of Magenta]

Hi LK! I need a check for . I found from a blog that the word count for this book is 36,928 which when divided by 250 gives it 147 pages. Is the calculation correct? (Btw, I couldn't find word count on worldcat or ingram. Is there any other website that I can check?) Thanks.

[Lisa Kay]

md, Countess Paige is still working on two of your books.

[Lisa Kay]

Mary: HDLS and Brooke. I fixed the Kindle editions, if you want to go back to those, Brooke.

[Lisa Kay]

Yes. Usually the Narnia books pass, but this one looks like it separated from the rest. We will have to get back to you, Claire.

[Lisa Kay]

37,568 is the word count = 150 pages --- is what I found on that one, MoM.

One of the websites we (TTRC Mods & Countess Paige) use for juvenile books is going to be Renaissance Learning. It is NOT an "official" site, according to GRs, so we will not be changing GRs data.

Ok. I'm not quite sure what you mean by separated but in that case, please can I get the rest of the series checked as well? I'm going to be reading them for a challenge over the next month or two. :)

[Lisa Kay]

We'll work on it, Claire. ☺

Thank you :) There's no rush and I'm sorry for creating more work for you :( I thought the Narnia books were ok!!

[Ashley Marie]

LK, I was thinking of reading the Lemony Snicket books, but wanted to check that they would count before tagging them for this challenge - especially considering the current conversation. They work for page count, but I wasn't sure about word count...

[Lisa Kay]

Claire, are all the book in one binding? If so, no problem at all, as we checked this in Round I.

[Steven]

Guess I need to hear about that too, since I've read the first 6 Lemony Snicket books and counted them for this challenge and was planning on finishing the series soon.

They are all over 160 pages and don't have illustrations, so I just assumed they were fine...
