One Day, 437 pages.

Whew! That was close. I was looking at a different edition, and it had 435 pages (which I've already used.) Who would've thought that, with only 3 books posted here, I'd have to start worrying about not duplicating!

Every little bit does count but...
"If your book is only in digital edition and does not include page numbers, then we will not allow it for this tower (this is just to make it easier for us to keep score)."

The book page, unfortunately, does not include page numbers!

Bad luck, Lynn! A pretty sizeable cannon & quite accurate aim but the enemy was well-prepared and got a shot in too. Thankfully, it merely grazed the side of your head...

Please do NOT report any other reads until you have completed your recovery task & let me know when you have completed your recovery task in this thread.

Your recovery task is Famous Fortress #5 - Palanok Castle - Ukraine

The number triggered by Lynn was 19,172.

Oh no! It stung badly, but I've bandaged up my head and once my vision clears I will be getting to my recovery task.

Dionisia (therabidreader) | 99 comments I am firing Hungover Owls with 160 pages at the enemy. I'm hoping they will be too confused to defend themselves.

Bea | 5272 comments Mod
OK, I haven't been aiming at this tower at all, so let me try a few hits. Loading my giant slingshot...pulling back with all my strength...

The Deeds of the Disturber - 289 pages

loading and pulling back again....

To Play with Fire: One Woman's Remarkable Odyssey - 447 pages

loading again...gosh this is getting hard...

What Angels Fear - 341 pages

Switching to cannon....must easier....reaching out to the side to light the fuse....one hand over my ear and ducking my head....

The Social Climber's Handbook: A Novel - 247 pages

one more....in the catapult...hopefully quieter than the cannon

Maisie Dobbs - 294 pages


message 118: by Candiss (new)

Candiss (tantara) My other reads have all fit on other towers, but my latest finished book doesn't, so I'll load it up over here.

What a soldier, you are, Bea! The problem is if you're shooting continuously from one spot, the enemy will surely pinpoint your location! Fortunately, they're not very good at their aim, so your injury is nothing vital... still, that means you're off the field for a bit...

Please do NOT report any other reads until you have completed your recovery task & let me know when you have completed your recovery task in this thread.

Your recovery task is Famous Fortress #6 � Citadelle Laferriere � Haiti

Wow! We're nearly a quarter done with this tower!


message 123: by Coralie (new)

Coralie | 1658 comments This one is too heavy to throw so I'll use it as a battering ram.
Kristin Lavransdatter 1144 pages


Lyn (Readinghearts) (lsmeadows) | 2895 comments Mod
Wow Coralie - that is a HUGE book. It should take out a good chunk.


message 125: by Tien (new)

Tien (tiensblurb) | 9028 comments Mod
Wow - that's about just over 1% of our goal!

If 20 of you reads about 3-4 books of $1,000 pages from now on, this Tower will go down in no time at all!


Lyn (Readinghearts) (lsmeadows) | 2895 comments Mod
I've got a 849 page one going, but I am only half-way through.

Is it worth to finish this series, Amy? I've only read up to #5 & I didn't enjoy 4 & 5 like the first 3...

I'd say not really. I finished because I'm one of those people who just has to see what happens once I've made a commitment to a series, but this one was just mediocre by the end.

LynnB | 1760 comments My vision has cleared and my slight head wound is better. I read a YA Stones In Water which is partially set in the Ukraine, while I was recovering.

I just posted a book for 213, so mine is wimpier than yours, lol. But like you, couldn't find anywhere else to use it.
