Hi Dlmrose, I've read 6 big books but my name isn't on the readerboard list.
Mod
task 30.1 option 6- asks "Read a book by an author (living or dead) who is English or Scottish by birth." Lou Morgan was born in Wales
Mod
Looking back through your completed task posts, unless I'm missing it (perfectly possible, I'm in vacation mode!), I don't see that you've claimed any big books tickets.
Please see the posting requirements: "7. If you want to claim a Goodreads Author or a Big Books ticket, you must specifically say so in your post and include a link to the Goodreads author and/or the book. For Big Book tickets, be sure that the link you provide goes to the edition you actually read, with the correct number of pages."
If you don't specifically claim them, we don't look for them - many people don't bother with BB or GRA tickets. There's a lot of information to process here here, and we look for the "magic words" in your post to see if you've requested them.
If you did specifically claim the BB tickets, let me know and I'll go through your completed posts again to try to find this. Otherwise, if you want to retroactively claim the BB tickets, you can do a new post for this. Please indicate that this is why you're posting so that Dlmrose doesn't have to go through your post. Indicate the task for which you used the books, and be sure to include links to the edition that you actually read.

I have a question and I have looked to see if I can find an answer and cannot...If I claimed a book for a task but now want to use it in another task is that ok?
For example I claimed a book in 25.11 but want to use it in 50.1. I will read another book to satisfy the one I am taking.
Hope that makes sense...thanks!
