The May Page Count Challenge (Team Challenge) - Sign-ups and Questions

[Elizabeth Emily]

Yay, go team Bronte :D

[Markus]

I am really liking this challenge, you can kind of rely on your teammates because you are all reading for the total. At some point you might seem like you're behind, but actually you can have like a thousand pages not counted. Go team Bronte, though!

[Christina]

Looks like a tough job keeping score!

[Aneesa]

Yay! I agree with my team mates, Go Bronte! We picked up some serious pace yesterday! :)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

It's just checking page counts for different editions that takes so long. I can't just check the review and give 1 point, I have to check the page count which takes longer.

Just wait til Nikki starts reading!

[Nikki]

Lol Sarah your thinking rather highly of me this month, I can't promise a 60 book total but I will aim to please lol

[Jackie]

Nikki! You must read 60 books! Just kidding
Sarah, thank you for the clarifications. Just one question, is there a way you can sort books by highest number of page count so that you don't have to spend so long looking? Just asking as that would make things easier for me but I haven't found a way.
Go team! :-)

If you go to the all editions part of the book and select expand details at the top it'll show how many pages are in each edition. :)

No, there's no way to sort by page count. that's why it's taking me so long.

Ahh, thanks anyway. I'll be sure to do this in future. :)

How did you guys manage to get into the order in which I posted the groups?! Austen, Brontë, Dickens, Wilde?!

[C.P.]

Haha. That's funny, Sarah! But it won't stay like that for long. ;)

[Heather]

Oh yes it will I am finishing a book for TEAM AUSTEN now!

[Tati]

Heather, you're scaring me LOL

[Heather]

Tati I should be lol this book is a monster!

[Tati]

Which book?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I hope these monster books are in ebook format not hardback, you'll all have aches from holding them else!

[Tati]

My monster books are all ebooks! I'm away from home right now, there is no way I could lug my physical books around. I'd need a small truck just for them LOL

[Heather]

Salvage by Alexandra Duncan in HARDBACK!!

[Tati]

I've got that one, how are you liking it?

[Elizabeth Emily]

Im sure it will all change again soon enough, haha

[Heather]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I liked Salvage, but I remember it changing at a point and the bit that came after the change wasn't as good.

[Heather]

Great dedication. lol. :P

[Noella]

Sparknotes? The reviews are too vague tbh

[Tati]

This is really weird! I don't think even the mods can read that fast

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

Noella wrote: "Sparknotes? The reviews are too vague tbh"

It's entirely possible to read 3 large books in a day! Plus she might not have read them all that same day. -.-

61% to 95% in one minute. Don't know what the purpose of putting numbers up these numbers would be...

[Elizabeth Emily]

:/ it does seem a little strange..

[Christina]

Yes, entirely possible to read 3 books in a day. But theres 12 other books too and it's only been 4 days.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

[Noella]

Hehehehe

Some of her books have pictures in them. Sarah calculated that one of them only have about 500 pages worth of writing not 1000 pages we thought. If that's true of the others it's entirely possible I believe. -.-

[Elizabeth Emily]

16 decent sized books in 4 days is impossible! :O

[Christina]

Yea it's entirely possible. Just not realistic
