BTW that's 2am my time, so I'll probably be sleeping (*cough*read in bed*cough) so can one of you make sure all last minute updates are in spreadsheets?

Hm... add number of chapters to the tracking list...
Anyone had books with plenty of tiny chapters? :P

[☼♎ Carmen the Bootyshaker Temptress ☼♎]

Hahahaha oh ok. I thought you said it was 2am there. Go find some chocolate to cure your sweet tooth :P

[Cat]

Checked my multiple chapter books. Most i have is 74. boo!

[❀Tea❀]

So another team used The Book Thief for chapters goal. I remember someone in Barca (Joanne?) wanted to read it in first round. Wonder if that's still plan?

[❀Tea❀]

Catherine wrote: "Checked my multiple chapter books. Most i have is 74. boo!"

I have one with 104 :) (adding note in case of future need)
It's Inferno. Let me check how many chapters previous book have. Maybe could reread something.
(Edit: they are even longer! *snorts*)

Oh, and I need to check James Patterson's books I have. He usually has plenty of chapters!

Or maybe Game of Thrones? :P

[☼♎ Carmen the Bootyshaker Temptress ☼♎]

I don't have any at the moment but I'll look too.

[❀Tea❀]

Patterson gets to 30 or goes over 100. So far closest is 95. Maybe if I don't read couple of chapters to get it to 90? :P
Still plenty of books to check...

[☼♎ Carmen the Bootyshaker Temptress ☼♎]

Shhh they are working again

I have no idea what's going on. They started crashing about week ago. I can't even point what happens to get them started. Anyway I keep getting error or reload/refresh message over and over again. Yesterday I was 'logged' in 10 times int one (those icons on top) :P
And if it keeps going for a while (20 mins yesterday) it crashes firefox too.

[❀Tea❀]

So, filmed in Canada not all of them are based on books obviously

Ones I'm sure of:
Twilight series
Brokeback Mountain
The Colorado Kid (TV show haven)
Anne of Green Gables
Bitten
Dresden Files
City of Bones
Carrie
The Lost World
The Golden Compass
Cedar Cove series
Fifty Shades of Grey
The Vampire Diaries series
The Sea of Monsters

Or this is better link Was Your Fave Book Adaptation Filmed in Canada? and Part 2 :)

thank you for the info :)

[Monica]

I figure that would be helpful with the goals we have been getting.

[❀Tea❀]

Monica wrote: "I figure that would be helpful with the goals we have been getting."

I've added columns in Barca spreadsheet for those. :)

[☼♎ Carmen the Bootyshaker Temptress ☼♎]

I don't remember but are graphic novels allowed? Because I'm finishing up a Harry Dresden graphic novel.

Scratch that I checked and I can't use it.

[Monica]

I am afraid to make changes to the spreadsheet. Always afraid I will screw something up.

If word count is over 40000 it works

I'mnot sure how to check that but I'll see.

[❀Tea❀]

You can always make new sheets and then work on them. Only things you can't change are those you got it with.

Besides if something goes wrong, you can always blame me and those crashes I'm having :)

Publisher site is usually good source for that. Or Ar Bookfinder
In this case I didn't find it, but since your book has 160 pages there is no chance it has enough words. It's mostly images with little text on page.

I think in first round we had 500+ pgs graphic novel and it didn't had enough words.

[Alison]

Just finished The Tea Planters Wife by Dinah Jeffries. 413 pages. Don't think it fits any goals.

[☼♎ Carmen the Bootyshaker Temptress ☼♎]

I don't think it will work but I finished Dead Until Dark Can you post it for me? I'm on the road and can't do it at the moment. Thanks

[❀Tea❀]
