Posted January 24, 2023 Book Number: 42 Number of Pages: 441 Book Title: Dark Whisper Author: Christine Feehan This book is the 36th in the Carpathian series, which are romance novels about Vampires and Lycans. They are a bit more explicit with the romantic activities than I usually like but they are done as part of a bonding experience and I found it to be more boring than objectionable.

Posted January 25, 2023 (edited) I was hesitant to subscribe when I first got my Kindle, so I downloaded a few books through my library and purchased this set from Amazon. It claims to have "over 2000 pages," but I later realized that the books were a few shy of 200 pages each. Now that I understand how to better use the Kindle, I can see that at the bottom of the offer it says that it has 1778 pages. (After the fifth book I had trouble changing the settings back to actual page count.) Please advise me how to number them properly. The books are as follows: Book Number: 43 Number of Pages: 202 Book Title: Beaches, Bungalows & Burglaries Author: Tonya Kappes Book Number: 44 Number of Pages: 186 Book Title: Deserts, Driving & Derelicts Author: Tonya Kappes Book Number: 45 Number of Pages: 176 Book Title: Forests, Fishing & Forgery Author: Tonya Kappes Book Number: 46 Number of Pages: 188 Book Title: Christmas, Criminals, and Campers Author: Tonya Kappes Book Number: 47 Number of Pages: 210 Book Title: Motorhomes, Maps & Murder Author: Tonya Kappes Book Number: 48 Number of Pages: 176 Book Title: Canyons, Caravans &Cadavers Author: Tonya Kappes Book Number: 49 Number of Pages: 172 Book Title: Hitches, Hideouts & Homicide Author: Tonya Kappes Book Number: 50 Number of Pages: 176 Book Title: Assailants, Asphalt & Alibis Author: Tonya Kappes Book Number: 51 Number of Pages: 188 Book Title: Valleys, Vehicles, & Victims Author: Tonya Kappes Book Number: 52 Number of Pages: 188 Book Title: Sunsets, Sabbaticals & Scandal Author: Tonya Kappes These are the first 10 books of the A Camper & Criminals Mystery series.

If you mean for the challenge here, I would count each for 1 entry so book 43 to 52 (or to 61 for the 10 others) and for a real page number I would look for the page number of the printed version as kindle page number can be off. If you are talking about in your kindle, if the page number is changed to time reaming to read or %, just tap on it and it will change back between the 3 setting (well at least for the kindle app on my phone it works like that, not sure if its the same for the ereader).

Since most of these books came in a little short, I thought I might get credit for part, but not all, of them. I now see where I went wrong. Thank you. Share this post Link to post

Posted January 26, 2023 Book Number: 25 Number Of Pages: 342 Book Title: To Everything a Season Author: Lauraine Snelling Summary: Set in the town of Blessing, ND in the early 1900s, the book chronicles the events surrounding the Bjorklund family, Norwegian settlers who have helped to build up the town. Review: I enjoyed this book, but keeping track of everyone in the family was difficult, in spite of the family tree supplied in the front of the book. I thought when I picked it out that it was the first in a series, but it turned out to follow other books about Blessing and the Bjorklunds. I felt like I didn't understand enough about the history of these people, which made it harder to keep up with them. The main love story, between Trygve Knutson (a member of the extended family) and Miriam Hastings (a nursing student who has come from Chicago to complete her training at the hospital in Blessing) is not introduced until very late in the story. While the author goes into a lot of detail about other relationships in the book it seems that this one develops too quickly and not convincingly. Then Miriam is suddenly called back to Chicago where her mother is dying and we are left with a very much unfinished story. Not at all a satisfying ending as everyone's story is left hanging -- obviously to be picked up in the next book! Share this post Link to post

As Jack tries to make peace with his father, he begins to forge a bond with his sister Glory, herself returned home with a broken heart. Review: Slow, slow, slow! I was tempted to take this book back unfinished! Halfway through it I still had no idea what these people were all about. Very slowly bits of their story were revealed and it did get a little better toward the end.
