I think your book above fits number 1 too ;)

*facepalm* It does. Thank you :)

No problem :D

I finished Thirteen Reasons Why. Counts for 6 (audiobook 6 hrs 24 mins),7 (originally published 2007). Also get bonus points for number in the title.

Thirteen Reasons Why also received some awards and nominations in 2007, 2009, 2010 and 2013. So it fits the numbers 3 and 9 as well.

I don't think number in title fits as it's higher than 9. We had The Secret Diary of Hendrik Groen, 83¼ Years Old and 83 didn't count either, but maybe I'm wrong?

You cannot use numbers higher than 9 to fit into a slot. You have to use the other numbers it generates instead. But they do get points for having a number in the title.

From the rules: "For number in the title or series number, the number needs to be below ten. If the number is 10 or above, you can not use it. It will, however, still count as having a number in the title, so the bonus points will apply."

I finished reading Three Pennies. I knew it was going to be a quick one.

I think you get to use the number of pages in the hardcover copy too Sarah. 352 hc pages. There should be a published date for the audiobook as well as the original published date that you posted.

Three Bird Summer

number of pages: 256 hc

I think you get..."

I'm sure there are more numbers Cherie but I don't have to the time nor am I feeling all that focused at the moment due to ill health to be able to do all that. There are too many numbers and things to look for so I've stuck with the obvious. Apologies if that is not very helpful, but it's all I can do right now.

Not to worry, Sarah. Your book has been slotted in under Round 3, Task 9.

I've added your book, Sarah, no worries :)
