T.M. Payne (booknooknuts) | 481 comments Can you let me know please how the numbering works? I know I dealt with this previously but want to make sure I am giving the correct answer.
When there is a example: A world of books by various authors such as
A Wolf's Hunger: some get their correct numbering but others got half.
Can someone let me know what causes them to get a half on the book title?
Such as some have #1, #2 etc some have #2.5 or something.

Thanks for any information / clarification of this

Can I ask what word or page count is given between the 2?

Sandra | 31477 comments I'm pretty sure there is one, but I don't know it. Someone else will no doubt tell us.

Some works in a series are all novella size and they get full numbers, others are half the size of other works and get the fractions. I've always just gone on my gut, cause they are obvious to me. Sorry I can't be of more use Book Nook.
