Karen, Slave Dancer does count because YA books need to be published before 1982, so I will add the pages here.

Our new group total is 477 884 pages.

[Karen]

Thanks! Every little bit helps!

[Rosemarie, Northern Roaming Scholar]

So true!

[Shaina]

Quick question - Will the Hitchhiker's Guide series count as YA? I didn't add it as it's post 1972.

[Rosemarie, Northern Roaming Scholar]

It isn't YA so the time frame is 50 years. Thanks for checking, Shaina.

A book can only be counted if you finish the book, Gilbert. I actually really enjoyed The Egoist.

[Nora]

Do plays written by Shakespeare count?

[Rosemarie, Northern Roaming Scholar]

Yes! They certainly do count, Nora.
