If you are claiming a Big book ticket, you must include the number of pages in the book in your post. See the Posting Requirements and post 1 in this thread.

Any reposts to claim a BB ticket should indicate at the top that this is the purpose of the post, so that Dlmrose doesn't have to review the posts again for task points.

Peakles
Boy, did I ever misread the facts on Alexander McCall Smith!! I will read something else for this task and post it separately.

[Teodora]

I made a mistake. At my last post I mentioned that my total was 130, but I was actually mistaking, because I had 115 points previously and 25 points in that post, which is 140 points. What should I do?

You don't need to do anything. Just use your corrected total when you make your next post.

(Also see post 248 in this thread)

If you are claiming GR author tickets, you must provide the author names in your post. If you are claiming a Big book ticket, you must include the number of pages in your post. See the Posting Requirements and post 1 in this thread.

Any reposts to claim GRA or BB tickets should indicate at the top that this is the purpose of the post, so that Dlmrose doesn't have to review the posts again for task points.

[Sandy, Moderator Emeritus]

Sarah wrote: "Through post 1929."

when you posted, the BB board was only updated through 1900. It's always a good idea to look at the top of the board, to see what post it's been updated through.

[Sarah]

the thing is though my points were updated on that post 1929.

[Sandy, Moderator Emeritus]

Sarah wrote: "the thing is though my points were updated on that post 1929."

yes, and that was not reflected on the GRA/BB readerboards because they were only updated through post 1900 at the time you posted here. Now that they are updated through 1950, you'll see that you have 31 GRA authors.

All completed task posts must include links to the books you read.

It's fine to include more than one newly completed task in a post. But if you do include more than one task, the tasks must be listed in numerical order, lowest to highest.

If a task involves the cover you must include the cover in your post

Please see Posting Requirements

Please repost these tasks in task order including book links

Neither Anne Stuart nor Michael Crichton is noted as being a GRA. No need to repost - just correct the totals in your own records.

Kaz Komo post 2130

If you are claiming GRA tickets, you must claim them specifically with each task - a tally at the bottom of your post is not sufficient.

When you repost to claim the tickets, 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. Please keep in mind that reposts must be complete, including links.

[Meghan]

Good morning! In post 2098, I claimed 65 points (15.4 and 50.1). Adding that to my previous 185 points, I believe I should have 250 points. I am listed on the Readerboard as having 225 points.

If I missed a post here with an error or if I in some other way messed up, I apologize in advance!

Thanks for all you do to make this challenge run so well.

Sandy - I think you've given me credit for too many GRAs. I counted 17 as of post 2088, but the Readerboard says I have 18 (as of post 2100).
My next post (2120) has another one, but the Readerboard isn't up to that yet.

I think you have 18 - you seem to have only counted 1 GRA ticket for post 1907, although you read 2 separate books by the author.
