Spring Challenge 2013: Completed Tasks with ?s/problems

Is this meant to be a completed task post? If so, more info is needed!

sorry this was an oops, I replaced comment with one saying "oops"
Mod
Option 5 of task 25.1, requires that the author's initials be found within one of the abbreviations, not that the letters be found within the author's name. So, Jessica Sorensen won't work for NCIS - fortunately, however, "JS" is found in "JCCS-1," so you are okay - no need to repost.
Mod
I assume you were listing Shadow Rising for option 1, since you specified page numbers. The edition you linked to had 292 pages, so would not work for option 1. However, it is listed with a genre of romance, so will work for option 3. No need to repost.
Mod
The edition of Brideshead Abbreviated: The Digested Read of the Twentieth Century that you linked to shows as having 356 pages, not 355. Fortunately, "6" is also in the listed numbers, so the book still works. No need to repost.
Mary Beth - post 1054The edition of Beautiful Redemption you've linked to has 451 pages and, therefore, is not eligible for a big book ticket. If you read an edition of the book that was 500+ pages, please repost this task with the appropriate link, making it clear that the only reason you are reposting is to claim a BB ticket.
Ana - post 1064As stated in the Clarification of Goodread Author and Big Book Rules: ** The author of the book must be listed as a Goodreads Author. Therefore, pseudonyms not listed as Goodreads Authors will not receive a ticket. Jenny Carroll is not a Goodreads author. Please adjust your totals.

Ok thanks
Mod
Please repost with a readerboard name.
Task 10.7 requires that you identify the category in which your book was nominated.
Mod
In the future, please link to the actual book you read. The link you provided for Mediator #1: Shadowland did not provide any information about page length, nor did it indicate that there even was a paper edition. There is a paper book, Shadowland (although it shows as Meg Cabot, rather than Jenny Carroll), and in future situations, please link to that instead or in addition, and explain the pseudonym situation.
No need to repost - I've found the necessary information now.

Sorry I thought I had the paper edition when I posted. I later realized I didn't. Thanks for finding the information.

I have corrected my post and included the cover. The corrected post is # 1116. Sorry!!!
Mod
You already posted task 20.10, on March 27. Please adjust your point total for your records - no need to repost.
Sandy wrote: "Jill Renee post 666Task 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.""
Sandy, I edited my post in the "Completed Tasks" for 10.4
But here it is again for 10.4 Purple for Peace
by Philip Roth Thanks!
Mod
But here it is again for 10.4 Purple for Peace."
Please repost this task in the completed task thread. We don't go back to find edited prior posts, or pick up missing information from this thread.
Mod
Books with the genre "childrens" on the main page that have fewer than 300 pages cannot be used for tasks greater than 15 points unless explicitly allowed in the task description, so this book will not work for 20.2.
Sandy I miss some points. My total is 275, post 985 (task 25.3).I thought I made some mistake and I'm here but not.I would like post new finished books today and I think the best if I post both tasks together but I will wait for your answer.

Sorry, Aleksandra - found and fixed. Thanks for the heads up!
Sandy wrote: "Peebee post 967Cross My Heart shows a publication date of 2006, so it won't work for 5.9."
The edition I read said September 1, 2008 (and didn't reference the original publication date), so I didn't check the other versions of the book.
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/70...
How does that work? Doesn't it go by the edition you read, or not?
Mod
Original publication date. The task specifically says "a book originally published in that year." The edition you linked to in your post showed the 2006 publication date.

OK, got it. Will reshuffle on my next posting.
I'm finally learning that the function that inserts the book links doesn't insert the link that you've selected in your Goodreads read list....have now screwed that up twice.
it just inserts the most popular book peebee - its a bit of a pain in the ass
Mod
Mod
I assume that your task between 5.7 and 20.9 is for task 10.10, since you provided info on the book's rating and your average rating. No need to repost unless I'm off base here.
Mod
Please post your multiple tasks in numerical order, lowest to highest. This makes dealing with the spreadsheet easier.
Also, your total is off - you had 325 points as of your previous post, and another 35 gives you a total of 360.
Mary Beth - post 1152Sorry, but Beautiful Redemption does not qualify for a BB ticket. The rules state: 8. When determining page count, you should go by the copy you read- EXCEPT as noted below for ebooks, audiobooks, and large print books.
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.
None of the editions of the print editions of Beautiful Redemption are 500+ pages.
Kirsty - post 1170The edition of This Charming Man you've linked to has 704 pages and is eligible for 1 BB (500+ page) ticket. If you actually read an edition with 750+ pages, please repost this task with the appropriate link.

The total in your latest post is off, Aleksandra. I fixed your previous total - 275 - but your new total, with 55 points added should be 330, rather than 340. No need to repost - just for your own record keeping.
It looks like my post #1124 was missed for 20 points. Readerboard has me at 180, I have 200 for my count. Thank you for checking.
Hi Sandy, I just saw the point score has been added up to post 1150, and so I think you missed my post 1126, for a 20 point tasks, so it should say that I'm on 405 instead of 385. Thanks :)
Mod
Thanks :)"
yep, I already found that one - there's a group that wre together that got passed over. Who knows what was going on that morning!
just missing coffee ;) never post before caffeine consumption, I learned that the hard way last season
Mod
Found and fixed, Jen. Thanks for the heads up.
Mod
yep, coffee is key - especially when I'm trying to work on this before my "real" work!
Reference to post #1165-Sorry about the incorrect order of the multiple posts. I will check more carefully in the future. Seems like math is still giving me a problem, I apologize for the error. Do I need to repost for #1165 or just correct total in next post?
Mod

no need to repost.
Mod
From reading the GR description and some of the reviews, it sounds as if The Book Stops Here is set in London, rather than Ireland. If the book is actually more than 50% set in Ireland, please indicate that.
Mod
For your second book for 25.8, I assume that you meant option 4, since you linked to an audiobook and to paperback edition for length purposes, and did not provide the info required for option 5. No need to repost.
Sandy, I agree about the description, but after reading it, the plot doesn't move from Ireland to London until after the halfway mark (which is actually one of my major complaints about it!). But since it's my word against the description, I'll defer to your judgment about whether or not it's acceptable.
Mod
I will certainly take your word on that, Jessica - since you've read it, and at least half the book takes place in Ireland, it's fine. No need to repost.
sorry Sandy! ugh - I was really hoping to stay off the naughty list this season ;)
Mod
Task 5.9 requires the year that the book was originally published, not the year in which the Dutch translation was published. This book was originally published in 2009, so will not work for a die roll requiring a book published in 2011.
Mod
Task 25.8, option 4, requires that you include links to both the audiobook and to the paper edition used to establish length.
Mod
There is more than one Jenna on the Readerboard. Please repost your tasks, including your readerboard name.

There are several participants named Kim - please repost, including your readerboard name.

Eeks! And I was trying so hard to stay off the wall this season too. The task requirement was in bold print too - duh! Sorry
