I guess I was confused. I thought I was supposed to repost everything after I got my leader board name. I decided to change some books around. Thank you. If it's ok I'll keep the current posting and I will be sure to use the previous book in a different task. thank you.

that's fine - just wanted to make sure that you realized that you had another book available for posting.
Mod
For task 5.2, there must be two of the same rare letter in the title/subtitle/author combination - a combo of 1 j and 1 p will not work, so Mojo by Tim Tharp won't work for this task.
Also, the way you are adding links does not work. When you post, if you look at the top of the box in which you are posting, there is "add book/author" - click on that, then type in the name of the book or author. That will bring up a list, and you can click on "add" for the correct book.
Mod
I am assuming that you meant task 20.8, rather than 20.7, since that is the task with 9th book in a series as an option. If that is correct, no need to repost, but you should make sure your own records are correct.

Grrr sorry Sandy, i did that last time too. I'm cut and pasting wrong !

Please adjust your totals - no need to repost, this is just to give you a heads up. In your previous post, you had a total of 145 - you added 35 points this time, so your total should be 180, rather than 185.

Thanks Sandy, will write proper total with next post:)
Mod
Although task 5.8 requires a link to the shelves of the friend who rated the book 5*, your friend's shelves are private and therefore can't be seen by anyone except her friends.
Since you've named your friend, I'm going to take this one.
Mod
Task 10.4 is a "cover" task and requires you to include the cover of the book in your post, and, if necessary, to point out the purple "something."
Mod
The book you posted for 5.4, The Orlando File : A Genetic Conspiracy Thriller Top 10 Medical Thriller - ebook Review appears to only exist in ebook form. You must get it approved for length before posting, and include the post # of the approval in your completed task post.
Hi Sandy,I just noticed my reader board name reads Valori, but there should be an "e" on the end (Valorie). I'm not sure if it matters or not, I just thought I better let you know in case it does matter.
Thanks!

Bother, I knew I'd missed something when my internet refreshed itself before I hit post! Thanks, I'll repost it.
Hi, there! I'm trying to figure out why you have me as 45 and my records show 40.So far, these are the tasks I've completed...unless I forgot something, which is totally possible!
5.6 Hope Springs Eternal -- Lover Enshrined, JR Ward
10.1 Less is More -- Timeless, Alexandra Monir (GR Author)
10.4 Purple For Peace -- Easy, Tammara Webber (GR Author)
15.2 Vernal Equinox Darkness Be My Friend, John Marsden and Burning for Revenge, John Marsden
Thanks!
Hi!My readerboard total has me at 180 points but by my calculations I have 200 points. I checked to make sure I was not on the "naughty" list and I did my math again. I could be over tired but I am pretty sure I did it right, unless I am missing something.
I have completed: 15.7, 20.2-20.9 and 25.7 thanks! Jecca

Got it, Jecca. One of the problems comes up when I have to do a lot of moving back and forth to verify posts. I think 20.7 got lost when I was switching around to verify the e-book approval. It's fixed now.
Mod
There is no Jenifer Samaha on the Readerboard. If you are new, please post in the Readerboard thread so that Kristi can add you to the readerboard, then repost your task. If you have previously participated under a different readerboard name, please stick with that name and repost using it (or, if you need to change, please post in the readerboard thread, so that we can keep it straight.).
Mod

It doesn't matter in terms of the readerboard, but it does matter since it's your name and it should be spelled correctly! I've fixed it on my spreadsheet and it should show up properly next update.
Mod
By my records, your total after this post is 130, rather than 125 - 115 after your previous post on 3/21, plus an additional 15 this post. No need to repost, just wanted to give you a heads up to keep your own records straight.
Mod
Task 20.9, option D requires that you identify the source of your book.
Mod
For task 25.7, you claimed Bad Rep. This book appears to only exist in e-book form.
The rules of the challenge provide that
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 with the required information.
Mod
You posted for 5.5, Spring Chicken, in your previous post. While you've said this book is for 5.4, it does not appear to meet the task requirements for 5.4 and your explanation of the task is that for 5.5.
Mod
For 15.1, the second book must be mentioned in the text of the first book, not in author's notes about his influences. So, if a character in the first book was reading or referred to Joyce or to Portrait of an Artist, it would work, but the reference you've given doesn't fit the terms of the task.

Ok, thanks. Station Island was a book of poetry that I got from the library and have turned in. I think the notes referred to the text in one of the poems, but I would have to get a hold of the book again to be sure. I'll just withdraw that one for now and repost it if it works or use something else if it doesn't.
Mod
The Rule of Evil and the Mask does not have any number of pages listed, and the publisher's website does not contain that info either. Since SRC rules require that a book have at least 100 pages, please repost, including information about how many pages your edition has.
Mod
The only "Tracy" on the Readerboard is Tracy K. If that is you, you'll need to repost your tasks with your readerboard name. If it is not you, you need to post in the Readerboard name thread, http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/4..., so that Kristi can add you to the Readerboard.
Mod
The Great Escape by Susan Elizabeth Phillips will not work for 5.2, because there is a "p" in the title, as well as 2 "p"s in the author's name - for a total of 3.
Mod
For task 30.1, you posted Play It Safe. This book appears to only exist in e-book form.
The rules of the challenge provide that
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 with the required information.
Mod
You list your total as 40 points, but I show 35 - tasks 5.1, 5.2, 5.8, 10.4, 10.10. No need to repost.

Thanks. I will use that book for another task.
Jayme(the ghost reader) - post 847The Clarification of Goodread Author and Big Book Rules states: If more than one Goodreads Author appears, as a co-author, in an anthology, or in a collection of short stories, for example, only one ticket will be awarded (one ticket per book).
Please adjust your GRA total to 1.

Sorry about that...I'll use it for another task
Mod
For task 20.3, you posted Time's Daughter. This book appears to only exist in e-book form.

Task 20.8, option 4, is a cover task and it is required that you include the cover in your post.

Thanks, I am working on getting it approved. I hadn't realized it was only an e-book. I just got excited to see a picture of a watch on a free book and downloaded it fast. Do I need to repost the whole post when I get it approved?
Mod
Just that task.
You can tell an "ebook only" by looking to the right where it shows other cover photos and has a link for "other editions." If the only other editions listed are ebook editions, then you need to get approval. Sometimes there could be a paper edition that isn't properly linked, but quite a number of books are only ebooks now.

Sorry about that. I reposted it with the additional information.
Mod
Your post includes 2 links to the same book, with no link (or title) for the book for option 4. Please repost with the correct information.
Mod
Just an FYI - your total is 185, rather than 200 - looks like you just added on to your previous post's stated total, without deducting the 15 points for 15.1. No need to repost, just for your information and records.
Sandy wrote: "Karen GHHS post 921 Just an FYI - your total is 185, rather than 200 - looks like you just added on to your previous post's stated total, without deducting the 15 points for 15.1. No need to rep..."
Oh, thanks! I'll get it fixed up.

Oops, Sorry! I inadvertently added my last name. I'll repost with the correct readerboard name.
Sorry. I forgot my source. I have re-entered the entry as a new one to replace posting 738. My source of the book was the local public library!Sandy wrote: "Leslie K post 738

Andrea - post 933Neither Jessica Park nor Kate Klise are Goodreads Authors. Please adjust your totals.
Mod
Mortal Coil does not have humor listed as a genre on its main page, so will not work for the 1 book option for 15.3.
Oh heck. I thought I checked that must have misread horror as humor.
Mod
If only the task had been called "Screaming in Ireland!"
