Well, my weekend so far has turned out nothing like I'd expected. First proper chance to break down that cursed COVID isolation, and I've been enjoying time with visitors, which has eaten into my reading. But I'm not apologising...after so much time in strict isolation it is wonderful to be engaging with friends, food and fun!

Question: If audio books count, how about the youtube videos of Taika Waititi reading James and the Giant Peach? Each video equates to roughly 15 pages, and the book meets the 120+ page limit :)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

No I don't think so Krystal. Too hard to work out and you'd have to listen/watch the whole thing for it to count. Plus the page count would have to be at least 125. Sorry.
