Oh I will. I just need to transfer the totals in from another thread in another group. I have already knocked out 20 of the 35 books on my GR yearly challenge, book 21 should be done tonight.

Sadly the GR page counts for Nook books aren't always accurate.
The E-book version of The Unique Hamlet shows more pages than that on the Nook. Optical Delusions in Deadwood has a lower page count for the E book version than that on the Nook. My belief is that due to font style, margins, type size, etc. you get different numbers between Kindle, E-book and Nook.
GR shows the total currently as 2791, but the Nook page count is currently 4504, including one paperback. The E-book of Pies & Peril does not have a page count therefore it is not included in the GR stats, Nook length 208 pages, paperback 198, kindle 192.

I don't care much for the edition, so I just use Goodread's default version. Some page counts are longer than my book, but some are shorter so I hope everything evens out. Your method is probably much more accurate though!
