Hey Rhythm! I'm getting ready to start The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake by Aimee Bender ------ Are you good to go on that BR? Or would you rather start a different one first?

Due to a weird bug in GR, thank you Melanie for letting me know, please do the following to figure out your page count:

Q: Here's an example with 11/22/63 by Stephen King.

https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio...

Sorting by Number of Ratings shows the most popular edition is a German Paperback edition published by Heyne (with 315 ratings) which has 1,055 pages.

But the actual most popular edition is the US Hardcover edition published by Scribner (over 421k ratings) with 849 pages.

The correct amount of points would be 8 points (for 849 pages) but right now it would be awarded 10 points (for 1,055 pages) because the sort is broken.


A: Using the same book in your example, when using the search bar for '11/22/63', you click on the book, the book page comes up - let's use that number instead.

So, the number that came up was 928 pages.

Please let me know if you have any questions!
