Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 15159 comments We can checked them out for you Ash. Are you starting from the beginning?

Steven (gallifreyan1218) | 5272 comments I also have a teammate reading the Narnia books currently... the non-illustrated versions.

Yep! Thanks, LK! I just stumbled across them at a used book store and picked them up, but if they don't work I'll wait to read them for when we aren't in a challenge :)

✿Claire✿ (clairelm) | 1222 comments Lisa Kay wrote: "Claire, are all the book in one binding? If so, no problem at all, as we checked this in Round I."

No, they're all individual. I'm pretty sure I used The Magician's Nephew and The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe in Round I.... And I'm 90% sure I checked all my editions to see if they were over the limit...


message 355: by Lisa Kay (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 15159 comments I'd have to double check, but I believe we checked the non-illustrated versions of Narnia in Round I and they were fine.

I'll have to get back to you on this, everyone. ...or maybe Countess Paige will.

Hina (hinaj) | 884 comments Lisa Kay,

Whenever you have a chance, can you double check page numbers for Sweet Carolina by Roz Lee by Roz Lee. Amazon shows it as 169 pages, so its close enough to fall under or over the min. page limit. Smashwords is showing approx. word count of 61,137. I don't think the kindle edition has been created in GR in relation to this book. paperback is 168 pages

Thanks

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 15159 comments Sweet Carolina by Roz Lee = 61,137 word count = 245 pages (rounded up). I did enter the Kindle version, with is only 169 pages. It would covert back to that when they do their massive update anyway.

Hina, if you need the 245 page count - per word count, just refer whoever to this post.

not needed for anything except that its over 160. I wanted to use it for the 7% Solution challenge. I just get nervous with books that have such different numbers, so I like to double check.

After all those sweet, some healthy dessert was in order. LOL


message 362: by Hina (new)

Hina (hinaj) | 884 comments Hi Lisa Kay,

I started reading that book, and on my ipad kindle is showing page count of 159. Please tell me what to do.


Marchioness of Magenta | 129 comments HI LK! I don't know what I'm doing wrong but I can't seem to find wordcount on WorldCat or Ingram. I just do a search and that doesn't give me word count in Worldcat whereas Ingram doesn't even give me any result.

The book I'm looking for is The Ancient Celts by Barry W. Cunliffe . Marie said it has some maps/pictures and I wanted to do a word count check to confirm. Could you help, please?

Sweet Carolina by Roz Lee = 61,137 word count = 245 pages (rounded up).

(Do you mean the above book?) Do you mean on GoodReads' Home Page for that book? Because I see it as 169.

I can't find a word count for that one, either, Marchioness. However, I can go in a view the book on Amazon. At the beginning there is a listing of maps and color plates. I counted them (actually double counted them, as there are more than one to a page for some); there are 49 pages to subtract from WorldCat's 342 page total = 293 pages. Approved.

Yes Sweet Carolina, when I downloaded the book, it has a page number along with the location tracker and its saying 159. I am just wondering if I can still count it for my team.


message 367: by Lisa Kay (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 15159 comments Yes, Hina, you may count it per the ruling in Post #368.

As much as I would love to have control over what Kindle shows you on your iPad, I don't have that kind of power.


message 368: by Hina (new)

Hina (hinaj) | 884 comments Thanks Lisa Kay. I figured its the kindle app or amazon has it wrong but I didn't want it to become an issue later on before I shelve it for my tower team. - I will refer it back to post 368.

Jenn (engelsigh) | 1339 comments Hello. I was told I need to come over here because the book Weird Arizona Your Travel Guide to Arizona's Local Legends and Best Kept Secrets by Wesley Treat is an illustrated book and needs to be checked for page count by ya'll.


message 371: by Jenn (new)

Jenn (engelsigh) | 1339 comments Also could you check The Fairy-Tale Detectives since I noticed someone else was questioning the Lemony Snicket Books

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 15159 comments Jennifer, I'm going to let Countess Paige tackle Weird Arizona Your Travel Guide to Arizona's Local Legends and Best Kept Secrets by Wesley Treat .

However, The Fairy-Tale Detectives (The Sisters Grimm, #1) by Michael Buckley shows a 56,907 word count = 228 pages (round up); therefore, it works for this challenge.

Steven (gallifreyan1218) | 5272 comments Could you update the last audiobook Jane posted to her team shelf with some page numbers? (Or should we have Jane post the equivalent Mass Market Paperback?)

for The Dead Girls' Dance (The Morganville Vampires, #2) by Rachel Caine

yeah I remember I asked about all the books I had under Lime green, but I should have paid more attention to page numbers.

Hina (hinaj) | 884 comments Lisa Kay, have you heard about Protecting What's His (Line of Duty, #1) by Tessa Bailey ? I finished reading the book and am wondering if I should put it on my team shelf. Also another book regarding page numbers Skin in the Game (Play Action #1) by Jackie Barbosa

No. Sorry, Hina. It is moving day on the Team Assignments Spreadsheet.

I'm sure Countess Paige will get to you as soon as possible.

No guarantees, but I'm betting it just makes it for the page count mark.

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 15159 comments Poor Countess Paige is indisposed. She'll get back to you as soon as she is feeling better. Thanks for your patience.


Viscountess Viridian (viscountessviridian) | 178 comments A few books need page counts for Forest Green:

Life Happens It's How You Let It Shape You That Matters by Alivia Cahill Life Happens: It's How You Let It Shape You That Matters

I found this book at the publisher's website listing 220 pgs, which GR has for paperback version. Also has a picture of the cover which is not here on GR. I have not added covers before, so is there a way you can do this? Here is the link for the ebook:
http://bookstore.balboapress.com/Prod...

Fighting for Flight (Fighting, #1) by Jamie Salsbury
She has the ebook not Kindle version tagged as read which, according to Smashwords has 112,406 word count= 449 pgs and amazon has it at 414 pgs
http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/...

Wreck Me (Wrecked, #1) by J.L. Mac she has ebook version tagged
Amazon website has higher page count than GR
Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Wreck-Me-Wrecke...
Smashwords: 60230 word count=241 pgs
http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/...

Restore Me (Wrecked, #2) by J.L. Mac Kindle version tagged
Amazon site has much higher page count than GR
Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Restore-Me-Wrec...

Just One Song by Stacey Lynn Kindle version tagged

message 395: by Lisa Kay (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 15159 comments All updated, Viscountess Viridian. For the Kindle editions, I deferred to the Kindle/Amazon data, as they will just change it back. However, I added word count, if available. For the regular eBooks, I made the word count/page number conversion.


message 396: by Vi (new)

Vi | 1758 comments If we are going by Amazon count, then The Mad Earl's Bride (Scoundrels, #3.5) by Loretta Chase would not count, I suppose? Amazon estimates it to be 158.. (why couldn't the book have just 2 more pages??)


message 397: by Lisa Kay (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 15159 comments No, Vi. Sorry for the confusion. I don't want to change the GRs database, if something is a Kindle/Amazon edition. They will come in and just change it back.

NONETHELESS, if we can find (what we consider legitimate source) a word count, we'll use it. I just may refer to to the post, instead of changing the database. After all, this is for our challenge purposes only.

Let me go check and see what I find for that one.


message 398: by Vi (new)

Vi | 1758 comments LK - it's just my wishful thinking. GR says its 100 pages but Amazon says 158. I'm just checking with you. Sorry for the extra work.


message 399: by Lisa Kay (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 15159 comments Vi, that book was originally published as a novella in Three Weddings and a Kiss by Lisa Kleypas which is 389 pages. Divided by three, that would be about 130 pages.

I have a copy, if I can dig it out of the boxes in my garage, if you want, but I don't think it is going to qualify.


message 400: by Vi (new)

Vi | 1758 comments Ah no. Just wanted to confirm with you. Thanks, LK!
