[Lindsey]

Note: this challenge must be completed in order

5) +/- 30 pages to previous book: For this prompt, we’re looking for a book with a similar page count to your prompt 4 read. Take your previous book’s page count and find a book within plus or minus 30 pages of that. (Example: If your book for prompt four had 338 pages, this book should be between 308-368 pages long.)

Different editions may have different page counts, and that’s okay. As long as one edition fits this prompt, you can read that book in any format. You can find a book’s page length on Goodreads, many retail sites, or the publisher’s website.

Sample Challenge: My previous book choice was Wuthering Heights. Goodreads tells me that the book is 359 pages long, so I’m now looking for a book that is somewhere between 329 to 389 pages long. I’ll pick Parable of the Sower by Octavia E. Butler, which is 332 pages.

[Athena]

This one was hard to find exactly, so went with general page counts. In this case I found book 2 of the Blue Ridge Mysteries. Shelved Under Murder by Victoria Gilbert.

[Carol]

I read leaving by Roxana Robinson for this prompt. For Prompt 4 I read Anita de Monte Laughs last, which had 333 pages. This book had 327 pages.

The characters, dialogue and situations were very realistic. I actually started to look up one of the characters online until I realized he was not a real person. This is a very emotional read so keep that in mind if you decide to read it. This book was 5 stars for me and is my top fiction book of the year and will be an all time favorite.
