*Page count: use the count for your read edition. If you read the audio, use the default ed, unless large print, in which case use the most popular non-large print ed! MAKE SURE YOU SHELF THE SAME EDITION THAT YOU READ.

**Spell-outs: title / author / characters (main/secondary - they need to serve a purpose, not just serve a beer!) / series name. Articles can be ignored.
For V-X-Y ONLY, if you read an edition with narrator or translator, they can be used for Spell-out. Make doubly sure that you have the right ed shelved!

Please also include the author’s name in the completion Post.
