Book One is the book containing the most words out of all the books by Jess and Hannah.
This could possibly be attributed to the fact that it was the first book written by the girls, meaning that they had more enthusiasm, ideas and excitement for it than with later books when the novelty of writing stories had worn off.
Book 1.2 is the part of the book that has the most words out of all books ever written by Jess and Hannah.
TOTAL NUMBER OF WORDS IN BOOK ONE: 41,749

Book Two shows what is typically expected of a word count for each part of a book - each part (eg Book 2.1) decreases in words in comparison to the previous part. This is expected as Jess and Hannah get tired of writing the story as it goes along and start to run out of ideas.
Also, at the start of each book Jess and Hannah write very neatly and carefully so less mistakes are made, but as the book progresses the writing becomes messier and more mistakes are made which are crossed out and written again. Messy writing generally takes up more space meaning less words.

The amount of words written in each book has generally been decreasing from Book One. All the separate word count figures in Book Three are in the 8,000s rather than 9,000 or 10,0000 as we've seen in previous books.

Book Five was a different size book to any other that Jess and Hannah had written in before. The lines were much closer together meaning that there was more writing to each page. To try and even out the amount that they would write in Book Five compared to other books, Jess and Hannah decided to use the book as a flip-book. They only wrote to the middle for each part, then turned over the book and wrote from the back to the middle. This is why the figures for Book Five are much lower than any other book.
TOTAL NUMBER OF WORDS IN BOOK FIVE: 24,815

Writing Version One of Book Six stopped half-way through Book 6.3, which may explain why Book 6.4 has around 500 less words in it when Jess and Hannah (totally fed up with Book Six) came back to finish it off.
Version One of Book Six is the version with the most words in it out of all the Book Six versions. This may be because Jess and Hannah completed up to Book 6.3 originally before getting fed up and disillusioned with Book Six in general and hurrying to finish each version.
TOTAL NUMBER OF WORDS IN BOOK SIX, VERSION ONE: 33,258

Writing Version Two of Book Six stopped abruptly half-way through Book 6.2 when Jess and Hannah got fed up with the storyline, so this may have contributed to the fact that 6.3 and 6.4 were at least 500 words less when they came back to finish them off.
Version Two was the version that was last to be finished off so this caused the outcome of it being the version with the fewest words in Book Six.

The books that Book Seven was written in were much smaller than any other books written in before. This is why the word counts are over half the amount of other books.

Book Eight is being written at the moment and we will put the remaining figures up when we get them, but as you can see with Book 8.1, the word count is down in 7,000, despite the book size being the same as previous books (excluding Five and Seven).
TOTAL NUMBER OF WORDS IN BOOK EIGHT: To be completed.
