Hello Suzanne,
For some challenges it is written in the rules that book should bot be smaller than 100 pages. To be honest, I just copied rules from last year for this challenge and as you can see number of pages is not stated. So pick the length of the books you are comfortable with, and enjoy reading.
As for posting you can do do once and edit or post always new, whatever is easier for you. :)
