task 5.10 Rodgers + Hammerstein's Cinderella was nominated for Best Book of a Musical, Douglas Carter Beane was not nominated individually"

I don't get it! Will it be okay if I read a book by an author Richard so and so (Best Play)?

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"

My response a few posts ago was in reference to the comment above. I realized my reply probably didn't make much sense. I would like this task to be credited towards 20.2. Thanks for your help

Just FYI, Angie, I allowed children's below 300 pages on my task 25.8, Big Sky Country, because of Hattie Big Sky taking place in Montana so you could use it there if you wanted to.

task 25.10 option 5 L'Avare has 79 pages and does not meet minimum page requirements"

Hi, there aren't very many French language editions of books on Goodreads and so I just picked the first one I saw. I actually read an ebook version. Page numbers vary between editions from 77 to 220. Do you reckon I can use it?

If you believe your edition had more than 100 pages:

From the rules- 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.

It looks like all the mass market paperback editions have more than 100 pages. Please repost this task linking to an ebook and a MMP. If you can't find an appropriate edition, you may request that it be added to GR by a librarian @ anyone with librarian status

task 25.6 NOTE: ebooks without print versions cannot be used for tasks requiring a specific number of pages. If you read an ebook or listen to an 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.
