You claimed a BB ticket for listening to an audiobook version of Career of Evil, and linking to a hardback edition of Career of Evil that has 497 pages. I checked the paperback editions, following the rules for establishing page length for audiobooks, and the top paperback only has 494 pages. This book is <500 pages and doesn't qualify for a BB ticket.

It is a scene at the water's edge. That appears to be a building- no wheels or tracks. Trains do not usually run into the ocean.
There is a ship in the distance. Shelley has OK'd boats; I'll take it

Thanks for finding the boat -- I'm even getting my copy back from the library to look at it again. Trains do come into the story and I thought it was an abstract of the train superimposed over the seacoast, but I'm glad for that ship in the distance. It definitely could be my brain being abstract;)

Oh, I was wondering why she would be nude. Can I move the book to another spot?

Oops. This is my first time doing this challenge. I'm sorry I'm making so much work for you! I thought main page meant the first page. So it's just those four? I might have to move that one too if I can.

This came up in another group of mine. All of the genre lists went down to 4 and a bunch of people had a genre disappear temporarily from the list. Goodreads must have been fooling around with how many to list.
