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...

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.

Sorry, I forgot about that. But the first one works, right?

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

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...

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!

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.

The Hyde Park Murder seems pretty wimpy for this tower, but I can't find anywhere else to use it. 240 pages.

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.

Oh no! Again! I will work to try to recover quickly this time.

Yay, Lynn - you're back on board ;)

I'm using my newly discovered mangonel. In One Person has 425 pages. That will do some damage, I hope.
