Thanks. ☺

I can't find a reliable source for pages (though the Kindle edition is listed at 180), but Smashwords lists 56,486 words / 250 = 226

Done, Vicki. I left the Kindle/Amazon data alone, but I did put in the word count into the synopsis. Changed the page count on the eBooks.

here's her shelf: http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/...
Amazon shows 267 pages - http://www.amazon.com/Champagne-Lemon...
Thanks in advance~

Due to the time-consuming nature of the Sunday Update, we will no longer update page counts on Sundays.
If there is an unknown page count on a book by one of your members, we will temporarily allow it. However, if it does NOT meet the requirements, we may ask you to remove it before the next update.
Of course, you may continue to post your requests on Sunday; we will just get to them on Mondays.

The Bad Beginning ..."
Well that's rough. I spent a lot of time reading these because their page counts fit the challenge... and mine have no pictures or anything, so I'm out SIX books based off a word count when my page count worked for at least two Sunday updates?
*confused*

The Lion, the ..."
Thank you very much :)

In the official rules thread that was posted way back when, it says that The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe WOULD be ok to use, but now you're saying it's not? I had that on my list to read later this summer, but if it's not going to count for the Tower challenge, I'll postpone it till this ends. My team needs every book we can get!

The issue arose with the frequent posting of children "chapter" books and juvenile books, which lead to an inquiry into the word count for all juvenile books.
However, the Mods are discussing this issue with the Captains. And the Captains have asked for a 48 hour notice prior to all major Mod decisions affecting them. For this reason, and for your input, could you please contact Steven? Thank you.

However, on the last one I found it on Smashwords


(Note: Do NOT look for images of "fans self"...ugh...it's disturbing)



Hi LK - Just checking if this can be converted to pages? If not, that's ok, but I love S.Fry and I'm thinking of making this my next audio "read"




WorldCat has it at 421 pages; however, I'll see if Countess Paige can find a word count on it.




Yes, several versions, but all between about 168-176 on worldcat.org - so it is okay, Jennifer.




What were you asking for? I got a little distracted there, lol!
I am currently away from my computer and will respond to your request and the ones from earlier today when I'm not remote.


According to Smashwords,


The Bad Beginning ..."
Thanks, Countess Paige!

I cannot find a word count so we will go with the WorldCat data of 421 pages.



This was a bit of fun research and very helpful for a real life challenge I'm doing this summer so thank you!
Unfortunately, based on the information I have worked out from the website below it would appear that this work is approximately 20,000 words and would not count. Sorry :(
