Final count.... though it is problematic
Started and finished
The Weekend by Charlotte Wood = 259
Murder in Mesopotamia by Agatha Christie = 192

now for the problem; this was an audiobook
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: The Tertiary Phase which, Goodreads insists, is THREE PAGES LONG!!! I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO CONVINCE IT OTHERWISE.


Also chapters 12 - 14 from another audiobook, Salt: A World History I have no idea how to get that page count either.

So I guess I will just have to call it a measly 451 pages in total and avoid audio books for future challenges.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I have no idea how to work out audio books Deborah - unless you do start to finish, then go off the paperback/kindle page count. Parts of - no clue!! Sorry!

But did you read Hitchhikers from start to finish? Because if you did, that can be taken off the paperback/kindle page count.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I've put down your 451 but if you manage to work out more, let me know and I'll change it :)

Because I am a nerd, I have built a handy little spreadsheet calculator for audio books...

Reply with the book details and how much "time" you listened to for each one and I will work it out for you :)

[Jenny]

Sorry, Brenda and Phrynne -- This weekend was a disaster for me. I had to work and move house. I did read 500 pages, but I did not follow the rules.

Sorry, everyone.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

No worries Jenny - take care :) Not a good time to be moving house either!!

[Jenny]

Thank you, Brenda!
