I was curious as to what the word count of books were, so that, since
I write stories, I'll have an idea as to how big my book would be
printed out. Of course, it also depends on how large or small the font
is (bigger font, more pages; smaller font, less pages). I found a
website on someone else's writing blog.

And here is the page where you can find word counts for books.

My Nanowrimo book is currently about fifty thousand words, but the story isn't finished yet so it will probably be sixty thousand words or around there when the story is finished.
I also am working on the first book of the Greenvine Manuscripts, which I have been working on for about six or seven years now. I was about nine or ten when I began ideas for it. The word count for that is about fifty thousand words too but I am only three fourths of the way through (I think).
Anyway, here is my list of word counts (the amount of overall words in a book) for various books. I hope this helps you in some way!
