**edited again: I just re-read the rules for the series style and finally understand what you mean :'D oops.
After doing the math, moving those books from a 20-point task to a 10-point task it doesn't make too much of a point difference and I don't have to do the reposting, so I'll just leave them as is and lose the series bonus...but thank you again for bringing the rules of that style to my attention! I should have read it more closely to begin with ;-)

Who am I to say no to more points? ;-) Thank you so much, I would love it if you'd rearrange those tasks to maximize points!
