The one you linked has no page count, the ebook (not Kindle) shows 598, the paperback shows 448 pages, and Amazon doesn't show Kindle page count, but does show 432 pages for the print book.

That is a good question. I got it as an eBook through Netgalley for review. I usually download it as epub for adobe digital editions which shows on my end 345 pages which usually never is the same on Goodreads.
If it helps any, the only NetGalley listing for that book is for paperback ISBN 9781728210230, which is same as the one listed on Amazon as 432 pages.I am GR Librarian but trying to refrain from editing stuff for myself/my team during challenges, in case of conflict of interest.
You may want to take it to the Librarians Group.
ETA: well, it didn’t until a couple of hours ago, apparently!

Since I am reading
now does anyone have any idea what I should use for a page count? lol
When I get home I’ll post it in the captains group and let a librarian from another team figure it out.

Will start tomorrow had no time to read today
Post completions here! We usually (I think) have a separate completion thread but it doesn't look like it this time. I'm also totally fine with you posting your completions directly on our planning sheet if you would prefer that. We will try to comb through the thread not to miss anything.

Task: 52 - text only cover
Tags: Racism

I only have like 30 pages left of Network Effect (it is so goooooood!!!), and I have also started Blameless, but my partner is doing an elaborate tandem online meal right now with friends in other countries (lunch here, dinner there) and vodka is happening...One shot, I feel it. I am old 😂
Robyn wrote: "Since I am reading now does anyone have any idea what I should use for a page count? lol"I didn't get a chance to post it last night, but a library must have gotten to it because there are multiple editions with the 432 number now, including a Kindle edition. So I put that on the spreadsheet.

Welcome Patrycja!

I have read the first 2 books in the murderbot series. I need to continue...
I found an O name in a book I started. So I shuffled it to fit an O in the spreadsheet. I am thinking O might be our difficult letter this round. Even more than Z. I know most of us prepare for letters like Q, X, Z. We will probably have enough. 🤞

Awesome Thank you!
Geri wrote: "Alysa wrote: "I only have like 30 pages left of Network Effect (it is so goooooood!!!), and I have also started Blameless, but my partner is doing an elaborate tandem..."My mom recently recommended Murderbots to me. I bought the first one but haven’t had a chance to read it yet.
Murderbot is so great.I am mad at any book that is not a Murderbot book.
(Well, not really. But still. 🙂)
If any one is interested in reading it, apparently one of the other team captains found Morris Dancers in Agatha Raisin and the Love from Hell.
I updated our recommendations links at the beginning of our thread and sent it to all of the other teams. Some great variety there! Something for everyone.How is the reading going? I have one I should be finishing tonight.

Thanks!

Ok thanks Laura, I am on book 3 so was looking to see if it would work for "recommended by another team"😉😄

I concur, definitely the whole series! Go wild :D
Hey travellers!We've taken a short stop from riding our motorbikes to send you some recommendations from our team. Take a look to see what books we recommend to you guys!
If you do happen to read one of the books, we'd love you to drop by and share your thoughts with the team.
Recommendations from Motorcycle Diaries!
Happy travelling!
From the mods:F YI: We will use a standard page count for BOMs for Wheel
The Jetsetters will be 352
Welcome Patrycja!Loving all the recommendations and discovering some new books I knew nothing about, so thanks for all the great posts!
Hopefully will have my first book finished today.
Happy reading all!

I plan to read it for Wheel - as soon as I can get it to line up with my other challenges. :p

Wow, so many recs to look at! I did notice some are cozy mystery . I will check those out.
I finished my second book. I am updating the spreadsheet.

Geri, have you read A Dead and Stormy Night? It’s an RH cozy! I recommend it. :)
if anyone reads contemporary fiction. I can't recommend this book highly enough. I've been laughing my butt off almost every single page.
. I don't want it to end lol

I just had to look up what you meant by "RH cozy" -- I was like... there is a Rocky Horror cozy? lol
Lol! RH stands for Reverse Harem. But I’m in a few RH Facebook groups, and I bet authors in there would jump at the idea of a Rocky Horror RH novel. :)

It looks like only the Hardcover edition has enough pages to qualify for Wheel. It has 176 pages, but everything else is under 160. :(
finished my first read for the week. off to update the spreadsheet and to start another book
I put in a third Guild Hunter book for myself, but if we get too many books that work for the tag, someone poke me and let me know so I can take it out and save it for another round. We currently have 8 out of 10 possible on the planning spreadsheet, with 2 of them completed.
I have two Tagged books that I am currently reading. One (CREEPY) will be done tomorrow, and the other one (TWILIGHT) the next day, or Thursday at the latest. If we end up having more than 10, I don’t think it’s a big problem, we just won’t get extra points. So it’s probably better to plan a little over 10, to err on the side of caution just in case somebody doesn’t finish something :)
I should be done with my first book by tomorrow morning
I was thinking the same thing, Alysa. We can go a little over just in case life gets in the way and someone can't finish a book by the end of the round.
I have 3 O books that I think I can get through this week. Added to the sheet.
I'm probably going to fly through the rest of Eclipse today. My next book I chose by picking a random task and finding a fitting book for it! Might do that again later as it's a fun challenge.
