task 5.4 requires "specify what the circle is." Please repost with the required information"

Here's what I posted originally: (The see-through head was approved in help thread, post 100)

The circle is the girl's see-through head that is superimposed on the raven, as approved in the help thread and posted at the top of that thread. Should I still repost, since that was originally specified?

I am missing 2 of my 3 GRAs

These two are on post #821

If you look at the Readerboard, they are all there. Unfortunately, if there are any differences in the way I enter them (and I have to enter each GRA and BB listing into the spreadsheet individually), the spreadsheet will not aggregate them. So, if you look, you will see that there are two entries - one for AprilDT and one for April DT. I will change this.

Oh right. Could you leave that specific task out from my reports or should I repost the others?

Task 25.16 is a two book task

[Emma]

It did have family on the main page when I first looked it up. Is there anything I can do to avoid that situation in the future since the main page of genres changes from time to time?

Thanks!

you can always get pre-approval for the book in the task help thread. I do that sometimes when the genre I need is at the bottom 2 or 3 listed.

[Emma]

Thanks Ty! That's a good suggestion. I'll do that next time.

It is reasonable that the genre Family appeared on this new book Sisterland at the time you selected it.

Any discrepancies in genre listings should be pointed out when you post

I will credit it to 20.2 or you can keep it in post 979. Please let me know

Suzanne post 972

task 10.9 Father Mine: Zsadist and Bella's Story is less than 100 pages. Books must have 100+ pages to be used for points in the SRC. One book between 80 -100 pages may be used for ONE 5 point task.

FYI, It is also an ebook without a print edition. 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. "Approved post #"

Sighs, I apparently can't tell the difference between one or two. I'll move the other book to another section. Thanks for letting me know.

Please include the task numbers in your posts. No need to repost.

task 30.1 option 5 asks "Read a book with the genre Poetry on its main page."
While these may be books of poetry, the genre poetry is not listed

Anna Godbersen is not noted as being a GoodReads author.

Also, your total at the bottom shows 2 GR authors and 1 BB ticket - I don't have you noted as having any claimed. If you did, please provide information. Please note that we don't go back to old posts to look for edits - so if you edited a post after it was originally posted, no information will be picked up for the readerboard. You will need to repost.
