Oops, sorry Kristi! This is such a popular historical romance author that it didn't occur to me that this book hadn't been released in paperback! That'll teach me to check, thanks!
Ty - post 324To help make record keeping as easy as possible, please post completed tasks in numerical order from smallest to largest. Thanks!

I did post with the bird. It's a Purple Martin which I wrote as below:
Purple Martin: A Storm of Swords by George R.R. Martin*
Do you need me to repost? Thanks.

re: Big Book- 30.8 book 1
page numbers rule 5 "If you read an ebook or audiobook use the page count for the mass market paperback if one exists. If there is no mass market paperback edition, use the paperback edition and if no paperback is available use the hardcover edition."
All paperback editions of Lit: A Memoir have fewer than 500 pages

Thanks Kristi!
Dlmrose, I'll remove that ticket from my records. I didn't realize that the page count given in the Kindle edition itself was almost 200 pages different than those listed for print editions - normally they're within 20-30 pages. Now I feel stupid for bothering to enter Kindle page counts into Goodreads when I confirm them against my Kindle copy!
Megan L - post 390Task 5.2 -- requires a book with two consecutive words in the title and/or subtitle that begin with the same first letter. Series titles do not count. So My Soul to Save won't work for this task.
Karen OZ - post 400Please check your totals. I show that you have a total of 155 points with tasks 5.2, 5.7, 5.8, 10.1, 10.6, 10.8, 15.2, 15.5, 25.5, 25.8 and 30.4 complete.
Shannon South Africa - post 403Task 20.8, option 2 -- requires a picture of at least TWO different girls on the cover.
doesn't appear to fit that criteria.
Stefanie - post 427Task 10.6 -- Nothing Stays In Vegas 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.
Here are the posting requirements for ebooks: If you claim a book in Completed Tasks that exists ONLY in ebook format, you MUST provide a reference to the ebook verification document when you post ex."Approved @ line #" or provide the post number in the ebook verification thread where it was approved ex. "ebook Approved post #"
Please get approval for the ebook and then repost this task with the required information.

Deirdre - post 439Task 20.6 - REQUIRED: State in your post the punctuation mark you chose.
Please repost with the required information.
Rudy - post 440Task 25/1 - Surviving Seduction ppears 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.

MANDY Y - post 448Task 25.3 - Animal Farm actually appears to be the title of Fables, Vol. 2: Animal Farm. In which case, there are too many As to fit option 1. But even if we consider anything before the colon to be the title (and Animal Farm to be the subtitle), the book still won't work because it is officially listed on GRs as Fables, Vol. 2 and, therefore, has too many Ls.
Alice G - post 444Please check your totals. I show that you have a total of 140 points.
JACKIE NC - post 459Task 30.2 book B, option 2 - REQUIRED: Post Cover AND explain what your flying/floating thing is.

Lindy-Lane -- post 477Task 10.2 -- requires you to read a nonfiction book that relates to something you would like to do in 2013.
Kristi, I think Lindy-Lane may have posted the wrong task. Her description is for 10.6. In either case, she will need to re-post.

The part you're missing is in bold: If you claim a book in Completed Tasks that exists ONLY in ebook format, you MUST provide a reference to the ebook verification document when you post ex."Approved @ line #" or provide the post number in the ebook verification thread where it was approved ex. "ebook Approved post #".
Please repost this task with the required information so I don't have to go hunting for it.

Thanks, Stefanie. Please repost that task with that link (just the GRs one will do) if you haven't already done so. Then I can pick it up on my next round though the completed tasks. Thanks!
Stefu - post 544Task 20.8 - There is not enough information of GRs for me to verify A Complete College Course in Personal Finance for a task. Please repost with a link that includes the number of pages in the book. Also, please keep in mind that a book must be read in it's entirety during the challenge it is claimed in. Did you read this entire textbook since Dec 1, 2012? If not, you must replace it with a different book.
