updated spreadsheet.

Imke, I added your book to the goalless tab with what details I could pull off the GR page. Figured you could add other info to the spreadsheet when you got a chance.

Hope you enjoy the concert :)

Thank you Judith. I enjoyed the concert a lot.

I marked the wrong book as read. I did read and finish What he left behind by L.A. Witt. I have updated and changed the spreadsheet with the correct information.

Okay, did you change the mini challenge info too? I'm trying to keep up with that tab, otherwise it gets overwhelming

Changed it.

I did the same thing a couple days ago with the Good Earth and Reapers Legacy.

The only thing that prevented a laziness repeat yesterday was trying not to set a bad example. But I didn't exactly put in much effort into yesterday's post either. I'm a bad captain ;)

Title:Binge

Caitlyn wrote: "Title:Binge"

Great Caitlyn. :) I am spying on ebook preview on Amazon and I noticed something. There are no chapter numbers.
I see some sections have titles, but were they on new page or not?
If there were no new page breaks I thought we could ask mods if this book could fit 'no labeled chapters' goal.

No. Sadly the titles were above the new chapters.

Too bad. :/

Well I am sure we are going to use it latter. Added to Goalless books tab. Spreadsheet updated. :)

Thank you!

But it doesn't have chapters either, right? If you count each poem as separate chapter, then you should count their titles as 'chapter' labels

Captains, don't forget to do page override for this one.

Well it's not really poems, there are different characters in the story and you can tell when it goes from the different characters stories... they are not labeled like chapter 1 etc. If that makes sense. Like there are twin sisters in the beginning and it has one telling her story then. It switches to the other sisters story.

Sorry Andrea, I have to agree with Tea. Each poem starts on a new page and has a title. Those can be viewed as chapter labels. :(

I'll update the spreadsheet.

ETA: Tea, I am not cure how to translate word count to correct page number. I'll dig around the help threads to see if anyone had this problem too.

Its fine, I didn't realize that... yesterday was hectic and I was half asleep when I wrote that. I understand.

Dragana wrote: "Tea, I am not cure how to translate word count to correct page number. I'll dig around the help threads to see if anyone had this problem too. "

We are using 'rule' that there are 250 words on one page.
So if there are 55726 words, that would be around 223 pgs

Thank you for the help. :)

I have a book with parts, but the sections/chapters within each part aren't numbered or otherwise labeled.

Would that work for the goal do you think?
