I totally missed that part. I'll repost right away.
Hi Mods, I've run into a Big Book dilemma. Here is the post as I was going to claim it in the points section, but I decided I should post here to make sure it's OK.From post 899, task 15.4 Wheeling and Dealing, please remove Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J.K. Rowling.
15.4 Wheeling and Dealing
Option A: The Five Dysfunctions of a Team: A Leadership Fable by Patrick Lencioni Business is a genre.
Option C: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by J.K. Rowling "J" 870 pages=2 big book tickets
25.2 Nordic Noir
Book A: The Invisible by Mats Wahl GR description reads "In this riveting mystery set in northern Sweden..." Goodreads lists this book as first published in 2000.
Book B Option 4: Also first published in 2000: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J.K. Rowling 2 big book tickets reapplied **
** When I first posted this book in post 899, goodreads listed the book as having 796 pages, and I claimed 2 big book tickets. Now when I look, it only has 734. I no longer have the book in front of me, so I don't know which is accurate, though I doubt I would have said I read a 796 page book if I hadn't.
New points: 25
Total points: 135
What should I claim for big book tickets for Goblet of Fire? Thanks!
Mod
From post 899, task 15.4 Whee..."
Always problems with books with many editions, and where there have been changes. I checked the librarian change logs and this book has been changed/combined, etc., a number of times recently.
You have already posted the book and I checked at that time. You don't "reapply" for tickets anyway - you're just moving the book and not getting anything new. Just move it, and don't claim anything for it, since you already got the BB tickets.
Mod
Tasks must be reported in task number order see Posting Requirements
Please repost these tasks in order.
Mod
Task 30.3 option 3 specifies "Read any book (whole numbers #1-4) from a series identified as a Quartet on Goodreads or with only 4 published books in the series." Chesapeake Bay Saga is not identified as a quartet and there are more than 4 published books in the series
Mod
For task 15.6, the book you linked to, At Home: A Short History of Private Life, has 497 pages. If you read an edition with more than 500 pages, please repost, linking to the correct edition to claim a big book ticket.
Mod
Task 10.9 The title of The Duggars: 20 and Counting!: Raising One of America's Largest Families—How They Do It is The Duggars and it is one color. Subtitles do not count.

Actually, I think there is only four books in series. Other books are combined editions of two or all four books. There is one short novella, too, which is not published originally as a part of quartet.
Do the combined editions and later prints count as published books in series, too? I didn't read that in task description.
Skandia wrote: "Actually, I think there is only four books in series. Other books are combined editions of two or all four books."I checked out Nora Roberts site. On her Trilogies and Series page, she lists the Chesapeake Bay Saga with only 4 books.
Not sure if that is helpful or not.

This is the page I looked too - http://www.noraroberts.com/books/tril...
There is four books and the series is about four brothers, so ...

The short novella The Quinns' Christmas is a published book
And the series is not identified as a quartet on GR

It's never published as a separate book. This is a couple of pages long short story on writers website. But I leave it to that now.
