Marscha - post 1313Task 5.5 requires a living thing that can fly on the cover.
appears to be just a pair of wings. I don't see a living creature attached to them.

Kimber - post 1418Task 20.6 requires that you state in your post that the author is new to you. Please repost this task with the required information.
Karen GHHS - post 1419Task 30.5 requires that each book be over 300 pages. Benediction is only 258 pages.
Kristi (Passion for the Page) wrote: "Karen GHHS - post 1419Task 30.5 requires that each book be over 300 pages. Benediction is only 258 pages."
Oh, darn - missed that! I'll see what else I can find for the task and repost.
Jenifer - post 1437Task 30.1, option 1 requires a book written by an author you discovered in 2013 and are already acquainted with, not a new-to-you author.
Oma1229 - post 1454Task 15.1 specifically states that the first book in the series must "be marked as book #1." Code Name Verity does not have the required (Series name, #1) format.
I have a problem. I can't change the counter ticker I am using. When I go to copy and paste, it wants to copy my older score.
Jayme(the ghost reader) wrote: "I have a problem. I can't change the counter ticker I am using. When I go to copy and paste, it wants to copy my older score."I've been having the same problem, Jayme. The only thing I've figured out that works is making a whole new ticker (with a new password). On the bright side, the moderators don't use the tickers for your total (since they used to change every time you updated them) so it's no big deal for us, but I miss the pretty pictures.... :(
okay I guess I will have to do a new ticker.
Sunshine - post 1490To review your books, we need you to provide links to the book and author (like you did in post 1489).
The easiest way to do this when reposting is:
-- Go back to your original post (in this case, post 1216).
-- Along the bottom of your post, you'll see several choices: reply|edit|delete|flag. Choose "edit."
-- Place your cursor inside the comment box, hit CTRL-A (command-A on Mac) to select everything in the comment box, then CTRL-C (command-C on Mac) to copy it.
-- Then choose "cancel edit," which is just below the "edit post" button.
-- Go to empty comment box at the bottom of the page and hit CTRL-V (command-V on Mac) to paste your tasks and all of the formatting.
-- Click on the post button to repost your tasks.
Kate S - post 1496Task 30.5, option C requires a book that has been mentioned in any of SRC's Least Favorite or Worst Books threads, not the best books or favorite books of the season.
Kristi (Passion for the Page) wrote: " Oma1229 - post 1454Task 15.1 specifically states that the first book in the series must "be marked as book #1." Code Name Verity does not have the required (Series name, #1) format."
I will repost with another book---My brain just saw a #1 there---I guess we get so use to seeing one! THanks
Fairlee - post 1509You can only claim a task once per season. You've already claimed task 20.1. See message 229 in this thread, too.
Mai - post 1522Task 20.6 is a one book task. Please repost this task with whichever book you'd like to use for 20.6. You may use the other book for a different task.
Sarah - post 1535We have quite a few Sarah's in the challenge. If you have not yet been assigned a Readerboard name, please request one in the Readerboard Names thread. That will get you entered into our challenge records. Once that is complete, please repost your completed tasks including your Readerboard name.
If you have previously posted with a different Readerboard name, please repost with that name at the top of your completed task post.
Delicious Dee - post 1539Task 50.1 requires that you specifically state in your post that none of your books are re-reads. Please repost this task with the required information.
Suzanne - post 1544Task 25.2 requires that the sequential letters of the alphabet be found in the title or subtitle. Series titles cannot be used unless specifically allowed. One Good Earl Deserves a Lover contains an R and an S, but no T.
Oma1229 - post 1545The links for book and author didn't come through in this post. Please repost including links. Thanks!
Theresa~OctoberLace - post 1557Task 50.1 requires that you specifically state in your post that none of your books are re-reads. Please repost this task with the required information.
Kristi (Passion for the Page) wrote: "Theresa~OctoberLace - post 1557Task 50.1 requires that you specifically state in your post that none of your books are re-reads. Please repost this task with the required information."
I am so sorry!!! None were re-reads and I've re-posted the task.
Crap sorry Kristi - so much for a season of not making wall of shame
Jessica PDX - post 1565Task 20.1, option 1 requires the genre "cozy mystery" to appear in the genre list on the book's main page. This genre does not appear on the main page of No Wind of Blame.
Susan - posts 1573, 1574, and 1576Please adjust your total re: post 92 in this thread.
Fairlee - post 1578From the information given, I assume you're trying to claim task 20.5 rather than 20.2 as stated in your post. If this is the case, then Pumpkins in Paradise cannot be use since it appears to exist only in ebook format. If this is not the task you meant, please repost with the correct task number.
Also, remember that books that exist in ebook format only must be verified in the ebook verification thread and you must include to message # in the thread where the ebook has been approved for length or the location of the book in the ebook verification Google doc.
LAUREL CA - post 1593Task 30.4 requires that both books be at least 300 pages. So Faux, So Good is only 256 pages.
Eepa - post 1595Task 30.3 - Truth in the Dark appears to be an ebook without a print edition.
If it has not yet been approved for length, you should ask for approval by posting in the ebook page verification thread: eBook verification thread.
When 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 #"
Please repost this task with the required information. There's no need to repost the other tasks in this post. They have been recorded.

I do have verification for it, but I finally forgot to post something. I'm pretty amazed I got this far before ending up here. =P

When I click the link, I see it as the 8th genre down in a list of 10 presented on the book's main page. Is the problem that it can't be Mystery > Cozy Mystery, or is it some weird GR genre thing?
Jessica wrote: "When I click the link, I see it as the 8th genre down in a list of 10 presented on the book's main page. Is the problem that it can't be Mystery > Cozy Mystery, or is it some weird GR genre thing?"Yesterday, only 3 people had shelved it as cozy mystery so it had fallen off the front page. Today, 4 people have shelved it as cozy mystery and it's back on the main page. Since I've verified that it's on there now, please repost the task with a note saying that the genre has been verified. This is why we created the Genre Verification help thread (so you can get the genre verified up front and avoid the reposting process).
Will do - thanks. I guess I didn't expect it to fall off since it was there each of the multiple times I checked that one to make sure, but lesson learned! :)
Suzanne - post 1626Your total is still incorrect. Please see posts 188 and 279 in this thread.
Kristine - post 1633Task 30.7, option 1 - It does appear that Ms Anderson has Me Before You on her bookshelves but, as far as I can tell, she hasn't rated it, yet.
Kristi (Passion for the Page) wrote: " Kristine - post 1633Task 30.7, option 1 - It does appear that Ms Anderson has Me Before You on her bookshelves but, as far as I can tell, she hasn't rated it, yet."
No, I haven't read that one yet. I'm sorry, Kristine!
Hurry up and read it then, lol. My fault.....too sick to pay attention, drats.
Emmalita - post 1643Task 10.1 - Heart Rate Training doesn't appear to have any genres on its main page. Did you get it preapproved? If so, please repost this task indicating preapproval.
Bluemoon - post 1649Task 25.1 - The edition of Forge you have linked to has the genre Childrens on its main page and is <300 pages long.
Books with the genre "childrens" or "kids" that are between 100 and 299 pages may only be used for 5, 10, and 15 point tasks. Books with the genre “childrens” or "kids" on their main page may ONLY be used for tasks above 15 points IF they are at least 300 pages long or the task description specifically notes their inclusion.
If you actually read a different edition of the book, please repost this task with a link to the correct edition.

I knew something was going to be wrong in that post. GR was not acting right. I was in a hurry to get my post in before it shut down on me. I just chose the wrong one. It has been reposted.
Susan -post 1663All reposts must contain the information needed to verify the task. This includes both books of a two book task. With thousands of posts to verify, we can't take the time to dig back through the posts to find missing information.
For more information, please refer to the Requirements for Reposts in the Posting Requirements thread.
Aleksandra - post 1665Task 50.1 requires that you specifically state in your post that none of your books are re-reads. Please repost this task with the required information.
