Teresa Scott (goodreadscomknitknat) | 65 comments I just finished my first book, Suzanne's diary for Nicholas. Loved it.

Karen Michele Burns (klibrary) I finished my Agatha Christie, too. It was a good one - Sleeping Murder: Miss Marple's Last Case. My copy turned out to be 237 pages, not the 303, though.

Teresa Scott (goodreadscomknitknat) | 65 comments I am now reading the Winter Girl. So far it has captured my attention and added a little suspense.

Chelsea (chelsbee) | 66 comments Hey Melissa,

I was just planning to update the spreadsheet every other day or so based off of what people post as they finish books. :) I need to make sure our co-captain has access to the spreadsheet too but I am away at a wedding tonight so that will all be happening tomorrow :)

message 81: by Charlotte (new)

Charlotte Wildflower | 27 comments I actually didn't have access to the spreadsheet, I thought I did, but I have sent a request.

I also have a problem with a book. I heard a book on the fourth, and the lowest page count I can find for it is 400 pages - but I have my doubts. The version of the book turned out to be an abridged version (terrible), but I can't find any other abridged version that I can get a page count from.


message 82: by Chelsea (new)

Chelsea (chelsbee) | 66 comments Did it have a word count Charlotte? We can check in the captain's group what the actual formula is but they have a formula for turning the word counts into pages and then we can manually enter it in!

~Melissa~ Finished Fit to be Tied (Marshals, #2) by Mary Calmes - enjoy this series so much better than Sam and Jory's series. Wish I had read this series first....


message 85: by Karen Michele (last edited May 07, 2017 04:21PM) (new)

Karen Michele Burns (klibrary) I had to finish an audio I started before the 4th, but now I'm working on a 656 page book, The Magus, and a 416 page book, Different Class: A Novel. I may read shorter ones in between due to other challenges, but will finish them soon.

Hmm, don't know. I'll check of course, but couldn't see it anywhere.
Normally the rule is to just use the registered page count, and that is between 400-496 pages. Checked on the web for any abridged version, as there wasn't any on GR, but without any result.

Edit: Noticed that 100 pages equals 25.000 words. I guess that was the formula you was thinking of, but I can't see a word count :-(
Maybe I should just go with the 400 page count as the 40 points slot is all the way from 351 - 500 pages.

Charlotte Wildflower | 27 comments Completion Post

Book: Elysium (Blackstone Audio) by Jennifer Marie Brissett Elysium
Author: Jennifer Marie Brissett
Number of pages: 208
Date stated: 5/5
Date read: 7/5
Points: 20
Rated two stars. It has some good ideas, but it is messy and terrible as an audiobook.
It does however have a beautiful cover.

We can try to calculate pages based on duration time. It wouldn't be first time :)

How long was it?
