Zombiestan by Mainak Dhar 8/30/22

Two question to the prequels:
1) only those #0.5 or any #0 or #0.something?
2) I suppose the 100+ pages rule include these as well?

So glad you are joining us Liis!!

Agnieszka - any 0. book will work. As long as it is before #1 in the series. And yes, the 100 page rule applies.

Thank you. Unfortunatelly I come with another question.
While soaking in the tube I thought about all the books I want read soon and realised I have right now some #10+ series books I'd love to use as well. Could I use two consecutive numbers in the distances you gave us like
#15 in 7. Yekaterinburg to Novosibirsk: 1598 KM
#10 in 9. Krasnoyarsk to Irkutsk: 1060 KM or 10. Irkutsk to Lake Baikal: 107 KM
#34 or #44 in 11. Lake Baikal to Ulan Ude: 344 KM
or would you prefer to keep it to the original rules as posted?

Agnieskza - Sure! I'll let you combine the numbers as long as they are both listed.

Jan wrote: "Agnieskza - Sure! I'll let you combine the numbers as long as they are both listed."

YAY! You're the best!

I thought I'd signed up for this, but when I came to look I couldn't find myself. (Ha! The story of my life!) So I'll try again. :)
