❀Tea❀, after checking worldcat.org I'll go with the Kindle/Amazon on that one. They didn't give a word count, but they had an ePub that looked to be a comparable file size. **shrugs**
= 258 books

Thanks. ☺
Can I get Lost Homicidal Maniac: (Answers to "Shirley") verified for pages? 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.
Sophie of LJB has a book on her shelf - read today - with no page numbershere's her shelf: http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/...
Amazon shows 267 pages - http://www.amazon.com/Champagne-Lemon...
Thanks in advance~

I haven't seen a decision on these books from posts 343 and 347 last week.
I am trying to get through the outstanding ones. Some of these are a little more difficult to make a quick decision and require a little more research.
- Accepted ~199 pages
- Accepted ~210 pages
- Not accepted ~158 pages (and from looking at the book, a lot of white space)

Hi Countess Paige,I was just wondering if you have an update on The Horse and His Boy, the Narnia book? I'd just like to use it for the 7% challenge if it fits :)
Thank you :)
Regarding The Chronicles of Narnia, except for The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, based on word count, the others in the series will work. I've outlined the page numbers below: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (unabridged) - 36,363 words = 145 pages

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.

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*

Thank you very much :)
When did word count become the deciding factor instead of page count? 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!
Yes, Barb, I was sure TLtW&tW counted, too.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.
Hina, I've got nothing on the first two; I'll have to turn it over to Countess Paige.However, on the last one I found it on Smashwords
= word count 77,350 = 309 pages
Um, yowzah! That cover... *fans self*(Note: Do NOT look for images of "fans self"...ugh...it's disturbing)
Thanks Lisa Kay and Countess Paige! Don't worry I will have another great cover for you to look at. Lol.
This edition needs page numbers added to it. I looked at the publishers page but they didn't have a page count listed. All the other editions of the book vary quite a bit in the 300s and 400s
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"
I'll have Countess Paige look into it, Karen. However, I recently listened to a novella that was 1 hour and 41 minutes long and it equaled only 68 pages. Your CD is 1 hour and 43 minutes long.

I'm considering reading
. Amazon has both the hardback and kindle version listed as 176 pages. I just want to make sure this is ok.

(Countess Paige I think this fills the requirement for a great cover) LOL.
Hina, it is a great cover *wiping away a bit of drool* 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.
Hina, regarding
, I cannot find any wordcounts. Amazon shows an estimated 145 pages and is only 241 KB. According to B&N, this book is only 192 KB. Based on this information, it seems that the book is less than 160 pages. Sorry :(According to Smashwords,
is 100,223 words (400 pages) and is approved.

Thanks, Countess Paige!
Viscountess Viridian wrote: "[[book:Defending Jacob|13491103]"I cannot find a word count so we will go with the WorldCat data of 421 pages.
Ashley Marie - We are currently working with the captains and the mods to iron out some details regarding children's book, juvenile books, etc. If you have read any books from the Series of Unfortunate Event books, please do not delete them from your shelves just yet. Thanks!

"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 :(
