If the quotation is fewer than 40 words, incorporate it into your paragraph and enclose itin double quotation marks. I split up the 100,000 – 200,000 category in two to make it easier to grasp. Plus, that 50,000 word difference is significant, at least according to the good people of National Novel Writing Month, who count a winning novel at 50,000 words. In this category, we have three books in the Harry Potter series. We have a few modern classics of literary fiction, including Jonathan Franzen’s The Corrections, Zadie Smith’s White Teeth, and Barbara Kingsolver’s The Poisonwood Bible. We see a few fantasy and science fiction novels here, too, like Dune, American Gods, and Eragon. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Now we’ll move along to look at this list of 177 word counts of popular novels. Books that are 500,000+ words long Overall, I enjoyed this one. It's sad, but hopeful too. A good read if you go in with the right mindset. 3.5 stars. If you have lost a parent you were very close to, or found yourself tempted by someone you work for, YOU may connect with this book more than her first, or more than I did. More Than Words is a love story too and I highly enjoyed the romance in the book. I felt it was perfect for Nina's story and both of the men in this love triangle were very easy to love, which only made it that much more bittersweet since you knew that no matter who she chose or what happened that someone would get hurt.

Nina Gregory lost her mother to a tragic accident when she was a girl, and is now dealing with her father's terminal cancer. Her father owns the renowned Gregory Hotels, catering to the rich and powerful. He carefully crafted a persona and taught Nina that reputation and public perception were the key to success. Her life was laid out before her, take over the Gregory Hotels, marry Tim, the boy she has known since birth, and continue the legacy.

I had a difficult time drumming up the slightest bit of sympathy for this novel's main character, Nina Gregory. Must be terrible having two men in love with you. My heart bleeds. The word count of J. R. R. Tolkien’s four-volume Lord of the Rings series is 576,459. To equal that, read J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (190,858), Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince (169,441), and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (198,227) plus about half of Albert Camus’ The Stranger (36,014) The Hobbit More Than Words is barely a story. Hotel heiress Nina Gregory's father is dying. Her mother died when she was eight. (Oh, various parental mysteries!) Her boyfriend, childhood friend Tim, wants to get married. Nina is attracted to Rafael, mayoral candidate for New York City whose campaign she's part of. You can guess the whole thing from this. Which is about as long as most of the chapters are. Nina Gregory is the third-generation of the famed Gregory family, owners of two of New York City’s most celebrated hotels. Her father—and her mother, when she was alive—were treated like royalty in the city, and Nina has been raised in that life, to know she’ll take over the company someday. She was always expected to behave the proper way, as if the spotlight was always on her. Matters of the heart are often irrational, so prepare yourself. There's no getting around the love triangle here. I have to hand it to Santopolo, she succeeds in delivering two very easy to adore men. I truly felt for Nina—how could she choose knowing heartbreak was inevitable in any scenario? My hope, Tim or Rafael would do something, anything really, to change my opinion, making the right choice evident. And, while I can’t say that happened per se, ultimately, I think Nina ended up where she was meant to. The ending is best described as predictable or cookie-cutter, but sweet nonetheless. Who knows, maybe Santopolo wanted to save her readers from all of the ugly crying this time around. Either way, in my mind, the story demanded a conclusion with a tad more bite.The More Than Words guidebook makes it easy for you to "zero in" on your child's stage of communication so that you'll better understand his needs and abilities. Mindfulness has a range of meanings as it"has become a trend word conveying a diversity of understandings dependent on context" (Crane, 2017, p. 586). As your child's communication progresses and new goals are set, you can keep returning to More Than Words for examples of how to use each strategy at your child's new stage.

Once you have identified your child's stage, the guidebook explains how to implement the strategies for your child's particular needs. Published in the 1950s and released in five volumes, this historical novel, originally written in Tamil, tells the story of Arulmozhivarman, one of the kings of the Chola Dynasty, which ruled in the 10th and 11th centuries. It took Krishnamurthy three years and six months to write - it would probably take us about the same time to read it (not withstanding having to learn a new language). It’s also fun to look at the word counts in the work of one author in particular, so I decided to do a little exploring and find out the word counts of some books by a beloved author, Stephen King, a prolific writer with millions of words among his many books. In this list, you can see that The Stand: Uncut is 471,485 words. His writing guide and memoir On Writing is 79,139, meaning The Stand holds approximately six (5.957) books of On Writing‘s length within it. On Writing is one of my favorite guides to writing. I’d gladly take more of those over another novel. (Though I’d of course take The Stand over any novel ever.) For more Stephen King book word counts, see this ver y detailed Reddit thread. Carrie The strategies you'll learn from More Than Words are drawn from More Than Words– The Hanen Program® for Parents of Autistic Children or Children Who May Benefit from Social Communication Support. When I read Jill Santopolo's The Light We Lost last year, I was blown away, the love story and the context of the relationship felt so real to me and the book made my top 10 of 2017 list.Not only was she going to lose her father, she was going to lose the life she'd imagined for herself. The future she'd expected would be hers." As her world falls apart, Nina begins to question everything she thought she knew and to see the men in her life--her father, her boyfriend, and unexpectedly, her handsome and attentive boss, Rafael--in a new light. Soon Nina finds herself caught between the world she knows and loves, and a passion that could upend everything. Think you can manage writing a 400,000-word novel? If you were going to write 1,000 words a day, that would take 400 days, more than a year. And if you only manage 500 words a day, double that to 800 days, over 2 years. Still, if it’s fame and glory you’re chasing, why not? David Foster Wallace’s Infinite Jest is a cult classic. And Margaret Mitchell’s Gone with the Wind won the Pulitzer Prize. Maybe bigger is better. Infinite Jest Mindfulness has a range of meanings as it"has become a trend word conveying a diversity of understandings dependent on context" (Crane, 2017, p. 586) and can encompass...
