Book:Lightning Strikes by Theresa Parker
Date read:August 26, 2015
Pages:189
Goal met: okay, this is completely up to the captains to decide... use it for the audio version being between 7 and 8 hours OR the pages adding up to 18... whichever seems likely to be the most difficult to complete...
I just noticed that Carmen may be reading one for the audio length so possibly would be better to use for the pages adding up to 18? Up to you, whatever works. =)
I actually really enjoyed this book A LOT! Loved it!
Thanks all for the get well wishes- really nice of you all... am beginning to feel a lot better now- shouldbe back to 100% by tomorrow :) The girls are all better and back to school as well. I am so happy they feel better- i really do not like seeing them feel bad at all.

I'm not sure that book is actually long enough. Only kindle edition is over 160 pages. I'll check with other mods first to be sure.
Do you by any chance know word count? I couldn't find it anywhere.

Note: Since book depository list is changing, make a note on what position your book was. Some teams had book disappear from the list by the time they finished reading it. :)
Also Carmen, I'd suggest not reading Death Comes to Pemberley. That task is really not worth reading that book. :)

oh I'm not sure on word count...I found it on Audibles trying to find a book between 7 and 8 hours long and downloaded it on Kindle because it was free on Kindle Unlimited. I just assumed when I saw it was 189 pages that it was long enough.

I'm still waiting on decision.
By audio and by kindle it should be, but paper is 150.
Another problem (and part of my question to mods) is that there isn't audio version on GR. :(
I'm not seeing anywhere on my device to figure out word count either. :( Sorry about that. If it can't be used, it's okay. I will just have to be more careful to make sure to check all the types when choosing in the future...in this case I just clicked on the very first option there was and it was 189 pages...I didn't even notice it wasn't the paperback version or whatever. I'm still learning how to navigate everything on here so I don't always get it right. =)
It doesn't have to be paper version, it's just that they tend have more correct page numbers.Usually when you tag e-edition, I check other editions to be sure they are over. Also if it's close to cut off I search for word count. Just in case :)

Goal? No. Well I've not checked the lists, but I doubt it. No bird.
