Diane, I think the book you read was set in the past, but is fiction published in 2015, so it's too new for the challenge, unfortunately. Books need to be 50 years old in order to be considered a fiction classic.

That applies to The Gilded Hour as well. I knew this but I forgot! Sorry. I’ll try to remove these 2 entries.

No worries!
We can just subtract the number of pages, Diane, and I'll give the updated total in the next message. Deleting can be a pain, but I'll give you a chance first.

Diane I can’t delete but see the page numbers are now correct.
