Whoops! Sorry! The task allows for 4, 5, or 6 words when you roll a four, should I still repost?
CassieV wrote: "Kristi (Passion for the Page) wrote: " CassieV - post 1834The task allows for 4, 5, or 6 words when you roll a four, should I still repost?"
Actually, the task description states: Read one book with 4, 5 or 6 words in the title, corresponding to your spin AND for your second book, choose a book with any number of words in the title between one and six.
If you rolled a 4, you need to read a book with a 4 word title and a book with 1-6 words in the title. The books you posted had 5 words and 2 words in their titles.

Hmm, okay, I missed that. Do I just repost with a different book to fix? Should I add anything to alert you guys that I'm changing out books from one slot to another?
MarybethT - post 1904Posting Requirements state: 3. You MUST include a link to the book edition you read. If a task requires details about an author, the author link must be included.

Please repost the tasks in this post that did not have links. There is no need to repost tasks that did have links (5.5 and 5.8). Those tasks have already been recorded.

Well shoot! I swear he was listed when I slotted that book for the task months ago, but that's what I get for not double checking before I posted. Guess I have some rearranging to do.

Yes, please. And please include the info about the spreadsheet when you do. Thanks!
SUZANNE VN - post 2077Task 20.7 -- There are two options under "Girl" for this task: a book with the genre “Romance > Paranormal Romance” or the genres “Humor” or “Humor>Comedy.” The Aviator's Wife fits neither of these options.
Task 25.3, book B -- The task requires you to read a book with at least four words in the title (or title and sub-title combined). Chosen To Die does not fit.
BJ Rose - post 2108Task 5.9 requires a book with a word in the title or subtitle that begins with "SH." Rules to Catch a Devilish Duke won't work.
Jenifer - post 2117Task 10.6 requires a book whose author's initials can be found sequentially in NEWYEARSRESOLUTION. Alecia Stone will not work.
Diane Whitney - post 2121Task 20.9, option 5 requires you to explain why she is a strong female character.
Please repot this task with the required information.
MarybethT - post 2124To receive points, you MUST include a link to the book edition you read. If a task requires details about an author, the author link must be included.

Please repost this task with the required information.
Aleksandra - post 2148Task 20.6 - The Half-life of Hannah appears to be an ebook with no print version. Please get if verified if you have not already done so and repost this task including a reference to the ebook verification thread or Google doc.
Emmalita - post 2178Task 20.8 -- Just for future reference, you cannot use ebook page numbers for a task such as this one. The rules state: If you read an ebook, 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.
But, you're in luck. The paperback edition of A Visit from the Goon Squad has 379 pages. No need to repost, just FYI.
Barbara ★ - post 2179Task 10.6 requires a book whose author's initials can be found sequentially in NEWYEARSRESOLUTION. Larissa Ione will not work.
Rudy - post 2185Task 20.6 is a ONE book task. I've recorded Off Balance: A Memoir in that spot. Feel free to move The Apothecary's Daughter somewhere else. Or let me know if you'd rather switch books around.
MarybethT - post 2192Task 15.6 requires a book that was first published in a year of the snake. Indiscretion was first published October 1st 2012, not in 2013.

I will use the Apothecary's Daughter for a different task.
KAREN OZ - post 2216Task 15.7 - Oscar Wilde died on November 30. He was born on October 16, making him a Libra not a Sagittarius.
JENBENT - post 2268You didn't list a task number, but from your description I assume you're claiming Defending Jacob for task 20.8, correct? No need to repost unless you meant the book for another task, just verifying.
PUTTERPAL - post 2273Task 10.2 requires you to explain what what you’d like to do and how your book relates to that.
Task 25.11 -- Falling for the Ghost of You appears to be an ebook only. It needs to be verified and you need to reference where it is verified (post # of verification thread or link # of Google doc) when you repost.
Please repost these tasks with the required information.
