Beth F | 669 comments I started reading a free download of The Warlord Wants Forever this morning.

Found here: http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images...

Is this long enough?

Isabell (purzel) | 246 comments I was just wondering if the Juvenilia by Jane Austen would work? The version I was considering is broken into three parts. Volume I can be found here in different file formats. The pdf is 117 pages, so it would be perfect for task 5.9, if it was allowable.

The word count referenced at feedbooks puts this below the cutoff that we usually consider 100+ pages. Is the pdf 117 pages of text? -the body of the work not headers, notes, etc.


message 59: by Isabell (new)

Isabell (purzel) | 246 comments Two pages are "cover" and title page and I just realized that between every "part" there is a nearly blank sub-title page (13 parts), so it probably would be just under the 100+ pages margin. Could I use it along with another book?

And at what cutoff do you generally consider a work 100+ pages? Because I noticed that the second volume is 32948 words (130 pages in epub, with 3 pages before the actual book and five sub-title pages between the parts). Would that work?

Publishers format differently, but most fall between 250 and 350 words per page. That's one reason why we try to use more than one marker.

The 2nd volume would work for any task
The 1st volume could work for a 5 point task if you haven't already used the rule 4 note which allows a book between 80 and 100 pages


message 61: by Isabell (new)

Isabell (purzel) | 246 comments I haven't used the rule 4 note, so it would be perfect for this. Thanks for your help on this.

Jenger (jengerj) | 76 comments I am requesting approval for an ebook that does not have a print edition. It is listed on Goodreads but without any information as to the number of pages to which it would equate.

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/81...

I am wanting to claim this for the spring challenge (5.9 - a book with 200 pages or less). I am posting the link to the ebook below. On the website it is called a "novella" and has 7 chapters, a prologue, and an epilogue.

Thank you for your consideration!

Ivy and Intrigue: A Very Selwick Christmas comes in a bit short at approximately 75-100 pages by word count. This novella would be appropriate for a 5 point task if you haven't already used the rule 4 note which allows a book between 80 and 100 pages

Denise | 213 comments I would like to have The Color of Heaven by Julianne MacLean approved for length. I read the Kindle version, which was published in January 2011 and does not have a page count.

Amazon's website shows a paperback edition that was published in March 2011 by Blue Ocean with a page count of 314. The paperback edition does not appear on the Goodreads website. I've included the link to paperback edition on Amazon's website below.

Since there's a print edition, you don't need to get it pre-approved. Over 100 pages is okay for any task, unless the task specifically requires a greater number of pages.
