Winter Challenge 2012-2013: Completed Tasks with ?s/problems
In message 17 in the Completed Tasks, I initially posted a reference to Neal Stephenson without providing a Goodreads author link (the task had to do with the author's initials). I have updated that post, but let me know if I need to re-post.

OMA1229 - post 31I have your Readerboard name as OMA1229 rather than OMA122971. Which one would you like to use?

Just an FYI
I'm not sure how you counted James Rollins in your Goodreads Author totals, but if you use more than one book to achieve the 100 page threshold only 1 Goodreads author ticket will be awarded

That's what I thought also so I only counted 1 Goodreads author ticket. Thank you for confirming this for me!

If you are claiming a Big Book or Goodreads Author ticket you must specifically mention in your completed task post that a book is a Big Book and list the number of pages or that it was written by a Goodreads Author
It is not enough to provide a tally. As you update your tally we cannot tell the books you are claiming

Sorry about that! Should I repost my complete task? Edit the task (athough the rules say not to), or create a new post stating Im claiming a Big Book ticket referencing post 43?

Please make a new post claiming a Big book ticket
Alice G - post 52Just for your records, option 2 for task 30.3 is a book set in Italy. Jam Thumbprints is option 4. Since A Trick of the Light works for Jam Thumbprints, there's no need to repost.
Donna Jo - post 57I assume you're claiming Rainshadow Road for Girl option 1 in task 20.7. No need to repost, just confirming that's what you meant....

Kristi, yes. I should have been a little more explicit. Sorry.
I seemed to have posted the wrong "total points" in the post message 18, corrected it in the second one (message 92). Do i need to repost the first?
Kristi - I posted the books backwards in message 105 and have reposted the information in message 110. Rebecca NJ

Thanks for the heads up, Rebecca.
ANNA E - post 98Task 20.3 -- Remembering Tomorrow appears to be a book that exists only in ebook format. eBooks with no print version must be verified for length in the eBook verification thread.

Fiona (Titch) - posts 54 and 77FYI -- It appears as if you've claimed task 25.9 twice in these two posts, but your total points and GRAs seem to be OK. Just check your records to make sure. No need to repost anything.
I've read 2 GRAs so far and on to numbers 3 & 4 now lol x

Lindy-Lane - post 100Task 15.3 -- Something Old, Something New: For Better or For Worse 1st Treasury is a collection of comic strips. The rules state:
Picture Books and collections of syndicated or internet comic strips or panels must be aggregated to at least 500 pages.
If you elect to use more than one book to achieve the 100 page threshold, all the books must fit the same aspect of the task. You may not mix and match options.

Thanks for the heads up, Amanda. (And for not deleting the post ;-)).
Coralie - post 129Task 20.3, option 6 -- the task description says two or more "LA" letter sequences found within the title/subtitle or author's name. The Last Theorem as one LA in the title and one in the author's name.
You may want to ask Chris MD if that will work in the help thread. If she approves it, please repost the task.
Aleksandra - post 141Please list finished tasks in numerical order from smallest to largest. This makes record keeping much easier. Thanks!
OMA1229 - post 160Please confirm that this post is in reference to task 15.7. If not, please repost with the correct task number.
ETA - Never mind. I see your post 162 ;-)
Cathie - post 184Task 5.8 - The task description states read a book with an end of days genre on the main book page: Apocalyptic, Post Apocalyptic, Dying Earth.
The Twelve by William Gladstone does not have any of these genres on it's main page.
