M1NKS - Can I please have my totals checked. My last posts range from 934->937. I have checked the problems board and can't see any posts relating to them.934: A change of assigned books - no points change
935: One five point task
936: One twenty point task. I have rechecked the Questopia list and confirmed that the Belgariad does appear in the first page and also that it isn't showing as a children's book.
937: One thirty book task. For my first book I have double checked to ensure that re-reads are allowed as this was one before I had to return it to the library. For the second I had it pre-approved in the help thread.
I have searched through the whole thread in case I missed some earlier issue but I can't see any posts with my posting name on them.

Task 30.3 book 1 Option 2 From FAQ "A. If a task calls for author’s initials, what name do I use for the last initial?
While there are great variations in names, we work with the general rule that the author’s last name is the final word in the name that is preceded by a space. We realize that this may not be technically accurate in every case, but this is the default rule."
Ursula K. Le Guin's last name for SRC tasks is Guin

To claim a BB ticket, you must include the number of pages in your post. See the Posting Requirements and post 1 in the Completed Task Thread.
When you repost to claim the ticket, please indicate at the top of your post that you are reposting for this purpose, so that Dlmrose doesn't have to revisit your post.
Thanks, Sandy. I already reposted claiming the BB tickets including the pages count for each book. I have a question though. In my original post (#1178) I read two books by Veronica Roth a GRA and in post (#737) I read a book by Amanda Hocking also a GRA. In the readerboard thread it says that I only have two GRA tickets. Does multiple readings for the same GR author count as one ticket?
Wow that really got garbled somehow.... (My original post was mostly eaten and spliced with the reply text. lol.) Let's try this again.I believe you have to list each instance of GRA separately, so that just saying once after listing two books by an author would only gain you a single GRA ticket, since each one must be claimed.
I just make note of it in every task I post after the book if the author is a GRA that way each one is noted.
For example:
I read Divergent by Veronica Roth
Veronica Roth is a GRA.
I read Insurgent by Veronica Roth
Veronica Roth is a GRA.
If that makes sense.
