Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 1885 comments I'm in again! This time I'll go for 8 and do Mor-book-ly Obese.

I found several items on the Internet that say 200 location numbers on a Kindle are equivalent to 10 - 11 pages. When no hardback or paperback editions are available for reverence, I'll covert with the lower number.
