Task Number 5.5 Summer Solstice I am not sure which task you are doing. This season's 5.5 is 5.5 Dwali.

Per posting requirements, task claims must include a short description of the task.

The audiobook link you used does not show the length of the book at all. If you read audiobooks, please use or include a link where a qualifying page count is listed. Please repost with a link to any English edition that has a qualifying page count.

I would accept that, please note this when you post the book.

Thanks for catching that! I must have gotten distracted between verifying the book for 49 and posting it to your credit. It will be fixed on the next update.

The book you linked to does not have a page count to verify. Please either link to any English edition that has a qualifying page count or have a librarian add a page count to your edition and repost.

The requirements for 10.2 require " The full window must be visible" while the cover only shows a portion of the window.

Cheaper by the Dozen has a MPG of Childrens.

Please review the rules for books with the main page genre childrens or kids, or have the book verified in the Not Really For Kids thread.

I can't find any page information for the hardcovers on Amazon - weird. But with the new rule changes, you can link to the qualifying ebook, which has pages.

These are great suggestions, and answers to problems that I've had trying to find a certain cover item or genre. Thanks.

Amanda, I have not read the book and do not have enough information on the book to verify. ..."

Having not read it myself, I looked it up and here is what it said: The Covenant of Water is not a dual timeline novel; instead, it is a multi-generational novel that spans three generations of a Malayali family in India, from 1900 to 1977 which agrees with what I thought from reading the description on Goodreads.

I'm going to say it doesn't qualify.

It's like they're flickering in a breeze, so I'm going to say yes.

Just to be clear, it's 1969 or earlier, not 1970 or earlier?

Does she give birth in the book? If so, that would be fine.
